    1995 Ghen War. It was a true next gen game. It was 2 games in one. A outdoor mech and indoor corridor shooter.

    I'd like to see PTO II added to the list, but honestly I don't know what there'd be to drop...maybe we need a top 25 list?

    I think Galatic Attack is a really good game, but I do agree with most of those games.

    Why is Sonic 3D Blast on there? That game was bad. If you want a Sonic game on there, Sonic Jam is better.

    keep the thread alive. I would vot for Burning rangers as well. It should replace House of the dead as it is the weakest game on the list. House of the dead is a boring difficult game that would be lucky to hit the top 50 list. Burning Rangers on the other hand was a unique and very fun game. It was made by Sonic team how could you not have it on the list.

    If you really wanted a gun game on the list put Area 51 on instead as it is the best one for saturn.

    Default Hope this is still going...

    Saw this list and almost died when I saw some bad games noted on here. (I love Prize Fighter but I'm not plugging it for the top 10.) Over the years, this would be a list of games that can survive time, when games were short but sweet.


    Top 20

    Astal (Saturn at its best)
    Fighters Megamix (Best 3D Fighter)
    Guadrian Heroes (Most Original)
    Nights Panzer Dragoon Saga (The Best RPG, ever)
    Saturn Bomberman (Addictive party game)
    Shining Force III (Basically RPG Chess)
    Virtua Cop 2 (Still fun in the arcades & at home)
    Radiant Silvergun (Seizure city!)
    Policenauts (Great story, smooth animation, lightgun sequences)
    Deep Fear (Great game, bad voicing, but you could run w/ your gun)
    Enemy Zero (Seriously tense gaming with eye candy)
    Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo (Fun to play and watch)
    Die Hard Arcade (Just plain ol' fun)
    Sega Rally (Best racing game)
    The House of the Dead (Another great lightgun game)
    Metal Slug (What saturn does best)
    Resident Evil (The music, the story, the original survival horror)
    D (Twisted and sick, John Carpenter would be proud)
    Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butoden (Best DBZ fighter, slick graphics, intense gaming)
    Duke Nukem (Who could forget "Shake it baby"?)

    Many games were left out but deserve some note (Sonic 3D, Marvel vs, Panzer Dragoon Zwei among others) since they recieve bias points (because we love them). But let's get the truth out. If you gave someone a Saturn with 2 stunners, 2 controllers and it played imports, what would you give them?

    *Reason for omitting each game on the current list:
    -Dragon Force -> Shining Force III is better & you don't need 2 games too similar
    -Magic Knight Rayearth -> Cool to watch, okay to play, but if I had friends over it's not something you bring out
    -Nightwarriors -> good game, not great
    -Panzer Zwei -> Fun but Saga reigns
    -Shining the Holy Ark -> SFIII is better
    -Sonic 3D Blast -> Fun but gets old
    -Virtua Figher 2 -> If you've played Fighter Megamix you know why
    -Virtual On -> Graphics were poor compared to Arcade, DC version put it to shame, like the Twin Sticks though
    -Winter Heat -> Its ok at best

    There's more that could be imported but I'm trying to be fair. Hope this helps someone out there.

    I have no trust in this list if it's not included. One of the best turn based RPG's i've ever played, and I know i'm not alone in this opinion as i've had discussions with others of its greatness.

    Only reviews I could find:

    http://www.shinforce.com/saturn/reviews/Mystaria.htm

    http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/satu...iew/21801.html

    In my opinion one of the best RPGS ever made indeed.
    And best game for Sega Saturn.

    How do you account for the fact that it's guaranteed almost no one has played every Saturn game? Moreover, I don't think most people contributing have played every game on the list. I play Saturn more than anyone I've ever known or heard of plus I have over 100 Saturn games but there are still quite a few games I haven't played. Wouldn't it be smart to get a top 20 from everyone during a weeks' time or so and then compile the conclusive list from that? Anyway here's my top 20, in no particular order:


    Contra: Legacy Of War
    Darius Gaiden
    Dark Savior
    Daytona USA
    Dragon Force
    Duke Nukem 3-D
    Galactic Attack
    Guardian Heroes
    House Of The Dead, The
    Legend Of Oasis, The
    Mystaria: The Realms Of Lore
    Panzer Dragoon Saga
    Quake
    Saturn Bomberman
    Sega Ages (so unbelievably underrated)
    Shining Force III
    Shining The Holy Ark
    Shinobi Legions
    Street Fighter Collection
    Valora Valley Golf (so unbelievably underrated)

    I haven't gotten around to playing Burning Rangers yet so...
    And of course everyone is right, the Japanese library deserves it's own top 20.

    I have no idea. I never played 20 Saturn games, since I'm not a Saturn enthusiast, but you can't totally discount someone for that. Of the ones I played, the Saturn games I actually enjoyed were:

    Daytona USA
    NHL 98
    Quarterback Attack
    Street Fighter The Movie
    Virtua Fighter
    Virtua Fighter 2
    Worldwide Soccer 1998

    I don't play RPG's or Japanese titles, so it is a small list. I've only had about 30 US Saturn games pass through my hands total, most of which I played and not all of them I liked. I don't want to name games I didn't like just to get a total of 20 and pad my numbers.

    Aren't those just about all the good USA released saturn games? I'm in agreement with you on the Guardian heroes all the way!

    How it's god's name did any self-respecting Saturn owner let Sonic 3D Blast end up on that list??? It's not terrible by video game standards, but it is by Sonic standards. No fan of the games or the Saturn actually considers it a "true" Sonic title.

    How about these much more respectable titles: Radiant Silvergun (import). Burning Rangers (despite being over-rated). Street Fighter Collection (not a big fighting game fan, but did see that EGM ranked this as the 3rd best Saturn game). Shinobi Legions is pretty good. And how about my personal pick for the list, MR BONES!!!

    After thinking about doing it for around 5 years, I just ordered a Saturn mod chip (for my round button Saturn) from jandaman.com. I haven't installed a modchip since my PSone, but looking at the directions makes it seems incredibly simple.

    After I get it working, I might finally be able to play Panzer Dragoon Saga and some of the other ridiculously expensive Saturn import titles that some above have mentioned. Woohoo!

    I finally got to play this game. Other than the digitized graphics, the game is really good! Shinobi Legions is a game that every Shinobi fan needs to try. I can't believe that I waited this long to give this game a chance. The graphics are so mid 90's digitized fare but the game play is spot on with the likes of Revenge of Shinobi and Shinobi III.

    If anyone's interested, I have made a Collector's Guide of sorts for the Saturn which you can download for free at:
    http://www.SegaSaturnGuide.com

    Also, most of the videos are now on Youtube (broken into 6 volumes). You can just do a search for "155 Sega Saturn" at Youtube.

    Take off House of the Dead, the graphics are horrible and Virtua Cop 2 is already on there, which is a much superior shooter. The gameplay in House of the Dead doesn't really do much for me, with the drifting bullets and all. Virtua Cop is much more solid.

    I nominate these three games:

    Daytona USA - Great Racing game with a fantastic soundtrack, multitude of gameplay modes, and overall solid gameplay. I prefer this to Sega Rally myself.

    Burning Rangers - Sonic Team's last Saturn game is really good, and really deserves a spot on this list.

    Die Hard Arcade - A fantastic beat-em-up by Sega that has aged very well. It also needs to be somewhere on this list.

    And although I think Sonic 3D Blast is a good game, I'm not sure if you can consider it to be better than Die Hard Arcade or Burning Rangers tbh.
