Probably has already been pointed out but this has already been done.

I talk about that in the OP.

[Ed Oscuro]

Hilariously skimpy on shooter games here.

Darius Gaiden definitely needs to be in...other than that, I'm really not so Saturn-saavy (at least outside of the mostly JP-exclusive games I care about) that I'd give it a vote, but jus' sayin'.

[Icarus Moonsight]

Battle Bakkraid, (Do) Don Pachi, Soukyugarentai (I lubs) and the venerable Radiant Silvergun, of course. All JP or EU though. No US releases there.

How about Galactic Attack (aka Layer Section)? It's a US release. Series origin for Ray Storm/Crisis to boot.

[ssjlance]

Street Fighter: The Movie was a good game. Or at least the Saturn version was. It's not spectacular, but it's easy to track down and great for satisfying a Street Fighter urge.

[Keir]

Where's the love for Mr Bones?? Is it that most people just haven't played the game, or is it just not that well liked? I think it just oozes with more personality and originality than 95% of the games that were coming out in the 32-bit era.

I'll third Mr. Bones if it hasn't been thirded already.

Also, a second vote for Baku Baku.

[grolt]

That original poll was interesting. I had no idea that ASTAL got all the love. It's a great game, but better than NiGHTS, PDS, FIGHTERS MEGAMIX?

Here are ones I definitely think should be on the poll:

Mr. Bones [the most diverse gameplay I've seen in a platformer, great character too]
The Legend of Oasis [awesome action RPG, where's the love!?]
Bug! [still not another game like it!]
Clockwork Knight 2 [another inventive early Sega platformer]
Powerslave [the best FPS of the 32-bit era]
Winning Post [awesome rare sim]
Fighting Vipers [great control and a solid spin on the fighting genre]
Virtua Fighter [I still prefer the speed and control to VF2]
Virtua Cop [better levels than VC2]
Rayman [beautifully drawn and creative in the Astal vein]
Duke Nukem 3D [best version of the game, great NetLink play]
Die Hard Arcade [a fresh take on the beat'em up with good graphics]
Burning Rangers [another totally unique game with some groundbreaking graphics]
Baku Baku [fun puzzle game with a nice twist on your standard Tetris]
Sonic R [very deep racer, the best graphics on the system and music that owns you]

[PentiumMMX]

I'd like to nominate Bust-A-Move 3 (Better than 2 IMO, and is currently my most-played Saturn game)

[Tron 2.0]

Thought about here's what i think.

1.Nights
3.Guardian Heroes
4.Dragon Force
5.Darius Gaiden
6.Galactic Attack
7.Legend of Oasis
8.Sega Rally
9.Saturn Bomberman
10.Duke Nukem 3d (Fun that it suported the netlink)
11.VF2
12.Nightwarriors
13.Enemy Zero
14.Mega Man 8 (Sure is better then the PS1 version)
15.Panzer Dragoon Saga
16.Magic Knight Rayearth
17.Street Fighter Collection
18.VC2
19.Burning Rangers
20.Albert Odyssey

[Tony Lama]

Has anyone mentioned DARK LEGEND by Data East yet? That game is my FAVORITE Saturn game ever!

I also like X-MEN: CHILDREN OF THE ATOM and LUNACY! These two titles get my vote as well!

SEGA AGES is also a worthy mention. Not sure if that title counts because it's a compilation. Best ports of OUTRUN, AFTERBURNER 2, and SPACE HARRIER on any console!

[dr101z]

Street Fighter Collection and Sonic Jam were also good, but might miss the list because they were compilations of older games. Mass Destruction is a personal favorite of mine as well, but probably not worthy of cracking the Top 20.

Thank you! I'm glad someone else likes Mass Destruction as well. I still fire that up on my Saturn about once a month.

[DeputyMoniker]

9 days to go.

[charlie-butters]

Well im assumeing here cause i havent actualy looked theough the us list properly. but if it came out in Australia then it must of made it to the U.s right?

NiGHTS
