Unpopular opinion: I prefer the original
version of Daytona on the Saturn, to the
CCE updated version released later. In
my opinion the original is more true to
the arcade version.
Light Gun games are my absolute
favourite. Sega made some epic ones.
House of the Dead (Left) but also Virtua
Cop are true classics that made it to the
Saturn.
For reasons best known to Sega, they
felt it necessary to release a version of
Virtua Fighter using kid versions of the
main VF characters. Why? I have no
idea.
I actually preferred Sega Rally II but
there is no denying that Sega Rally on
the Saturn is an amazing conversion.
Seeing the screen shots of Clockwork
Knight in magazines, notably Edge
Magazine here in the UK, was
something of jaw drop moment.
Virtua Cop and Virtua Cop II (shown)
are arcade classics. The Saturn versions
were a joy with a light gun and
reasonably playable with a controller
too.
Virtua Racer on the Sega Saturn is
widely considered not one of the
platforms greatest moment. But I don’t
care, I still like it.
Seeing the seagulls take-off at the start
of the race on the arcade version, was a
great moment for me. I was so pleased
to see it faithfully recreated on the
home versions.
Installing TerraOnions Mode
ODE (OpticalDrive Emulator)
allows you to run your favourite
Saturn games from hard drive. It
doesn’t require a PhD in
Electrical Engineering to do
either.
