    don't worry, we will help

    It's agreat system for imports.

    First, do you have a system?

    some people will recomend the 4 in 1 cart to play imports, myself, if prefer to mod the system with a region switch (much better compatability).

    next, go read this thread:

    Awsome reviews on Saturn import titles.

    Next buy some games :P

    the buy and sell forum, you can get some great games from other forum members,

    or

    I have found great deals here:

    http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-14-71-8m.html

    and of coarse, the "DP recomended" web site:

    http://www.japangamestock.com/


    I have bought imports from all 3 of these places with great success (and joy)


    have fun!

    Like fighters? KOF, X-Men Vs. Street Fighter, and Darkstalkers (Vampire Savior) are all good imports. If you want to be daring and try some RPGs, Devil Summoner isn't too shabby. Ebay isn't too bad if you can get someone from the U.S. that has the stuff. Otherwise, shipping can be a little bitchy.

    I would definately recommend having a look at GaijinPunch's site.
    Unfortunately, Japangamestock has stopped accepting Pay Pal and I've had to cancel an order I placed over there because of it. It's a shame because they seem to carry a lot of nice stuff.

    Yeah it sucks...I ordered 7 PC Engine games I really wanted before I realized it. So I sent a MO that apparently never made it to them...20 or so more days before I can file a claim and get my money back

    That being said, if you can find a way to get them the money securely (online), they ship fast and their product is excellent. (I don't know anything about World Pay, which they now list on their site).
