Anyone seen this video?

It was supposedly made with the Sega Saturn BASIC program (proper name GAME BASIC for SEGA SATURN) which lets you make your own Saturn games on your pc and then play them on your Saturn (via some sort of cable... I do not think you can burn your game to CD and then play it on a Saturn. Maybe a chipped Saturn? I have no idea.)

I have the Saturn BASIC program at home (it comes in a cardboard box about the size of an American Saturn/Sega CD case and is about twice as thick) but I've never been able to do anything with it. It's all in Japanese and completely incomprehensible to me. There's a copy on EBay now, completely overpriced...

My question: I've heard that there were several demo games included on the Basic program disk (the Saturn will run the disk but all the text is Japanese) and I've also heard that one of the demo games is called Lightning Force, the same name as the game pictured above. Does anyone know if this game is on the BASIC disk that was included in the original package or if it was actually programmed separately for the Saturn using the BASIC creator program? If it's included, how do the access it?

Anyone?

Here's the command you need to type:

LOAD "CD:LAUNCH.B",R

I'm working on an F.A.Q. ;)

Hey, thanks! So it IS on the disk! I'll give it a shot!

Please let us (me?) know when you've got the FAQ done. I am really looking forward to it!

Are there any other games on the disk besides this one?

That's just the general command to display the contents of the disc. From there you can start all the demos that come with it.

There's loads of programs on it, including a full blown 3D engine and a drawing program.

The FAQ is progressing really slow because there's so much stuff I'm doing at the moment. (websites to keep updated, other projects, school etc). Im intending to upload the first version of it sometime this summer. :)

Dumb question... do I type that in on the Saturn or on the PC? I haven't messed with Saturn Basic for so long I have no idea what's what. I hardly remember anything (other than being frustrated because I couldn't play the demos that were supoosedly on the disk.)

Many thanks!!!

The logo screen says: For Tech Saturn Original Version. Most likely, it was published in Tech Saturn magazine. I have a few of their demos lying around. I'll have to see if it's on there.

Ah yes. That's right. There's a couple of these demos. I've seen them before on an Tech Saturn disc.

So that game is not on the actual Game Basic disc. But like said there's plenty of other stuff.

The command I gave you is for the Saturn disc. You can type it using the screen keyboard or connect a keyboard (I'm using a regular keyboard with the netlink adapter).

I think I downloaded this from segaxtreme, its freeware or something (the demo)
