Saturn link cable-compatible games

[bargora]

I disagree with the premise of Tips and Tricks on philosophical grounds (ch34t0rZ!!1!), but I have been buying it because I open it up to Joe's column and realize that I must have it. Like the recent one that listed all linkable PSX games. (The arcade coverage is amusing, too.)

Anyway, I searched the archives, but I could not find a similar list anywhere for Saturn games. So which Saturn games are compatible with the link cable? Doom? Duke Nukem 3-D? Whichever ones, gotta catch 'em all.

I believe there were only five Net Link titles for the Saturn.

-Duke Nukem 3D
-Daytona USA CCE Net Link Edition
-Saturn Bomberman
-Cyber Troopers: Virtual On
-Sega Rally Championship Plus Net Link Edition

Thanks for the list! But I think I may have been unclear in my original post. NetLink was a modem. I was curious about games compatible with the Link Cable, which is used to connect two Saturns using two TVs, similar to the PSX link cable or PS2 iLink cable. I bought a link cable off of ebay a couple of months ago (as I have two Saturns) and was getting around to figuring out what to get to use with this thing.

Since my first post I went to Gamefaqs and read the (biggest) Saturn hardware faq. It listed the following games as being link cable compatible, but it did not profess to be a complete listing of all link-compatible games.

Doom
Gebockers
Gun Griffon 2
Hexen
Steeldom

Of these, only Doom and Hexen received a U.S. release. So I'm wondering if anybody can confirm these titles or list others. In particular, I've read that Duke Nukem 3-D has a link cable option buried somewhere in its guts. Also, I am wondering about Quake.

I wonder if Gun Griffon (JPN) has it also? Daytona USA CE (JPN) may have it. I think I read in an old Next Gen before it was released that Sega was working on including the link and a track editor feature but neither were in the US version. I've seen the JPN version but I can't read the Japanese writing on the back.

Does anyone know about Destruction Derby(jpn) for Saturn? The US version for Psx supported the link cable.

I know for sure Robo-Pit supported the link-cable.

I heard JPN WipeOut will let you

I heard JPN WipeOut will let you

If that's true it would be great, I always liked the link-mode in the PS1 version, but it was never introduced in European Saturn versions which was a disapointment. I will try to find some more info about this, cause if it's true I will need to pick up two copies of the Japanese-version of Wipe Out.


Oh and if anyone knows something about linking Daytona, please tell me as it's one of my other favorite racers I would love to play on two-screen two-player mode.

Gungriffon 2 definitely has it.
