STAR LETTER
SATURN FOREVER
Dear Retro Gamer, I was wondering which of the following three Sega consoles you guys like: the Mega Drive, Saturn or Dreamcast? I like the Sega Saturn.
Not only are its imported games awesome but there are some game ports which were even better than their PlayStation versions. It’s easy to see why Sega Saturn was dismissed in the West because most of those great imported games never made it overseas and there was no proper Sonic game except Sonic R. But now that I have seen with my own eyes what Saturn can do, I have become a big fan of it. Anyway, I am sure that the Retro Gamer team will have different opinions as to which Sega console they like. Cheers, Zahir Hassan
Thanks for your letter, Zahir. Here’s what the team has to say. Darran went with the Saturn saying, “It’s got an incredible selection of shmups and its Japanese library is more diverse than people realise.” Nick on the other hand opted for Dreamcast, saying, “It received an incredible number of excellent games in just a few years, and its online functions opened up the world to me.”
