I wonder what games would have been like if the Saturn lived a bit longer. Some of the later games seem to show the console could be gorgeous with effort. The price was the issue so it wouldn't have lasted anyway. The Saturn launched in the US in 1995 at $400. While more expensive than the competition (the PlayStation launched in the same year at $300 and N64 the next year at $200), I wouldn't call that "ridiculously expensive". We're not talking in the realm of the Neo Geo AES at $650 compared to the SNES ($200), Genesis ($190), and TG-16 ($200) levels; or the 3DO at $700. And rather quickly, they had dropped the price significantly. I bought my Saturn in mid-1997 for $150. To somewhat offset the lower price of the PlayStation, the Saturn has internal memory, so you didn't have to buy a Memory Card basically along with the system. --- Montreal Expos (1969-2004) http://www.backloggery.com/Blaqthourne Now playing: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable (PSP) -- started 4/9/2018 <cite>Blaqthourne posted [p:899388972] in Choose a c...
