A couple Saturn games?

[torvez]

Hey, guys!
I just traded a hard drive for this Sega Saturn.
It came with Virtua Cop 2 and 2 controllers.
This is the first time I've ever played a Saturn (Exciting, lol)
The only problem is the RF adapter is really fuzzy.
(It's gotta be the adapter, because when i move the adapter the picture worsens or clears up)
Anyways, I'm headed to the store later this week and my question is, what are some good Saturn games to start a collection with?
I've been hearing NiGHTS into dreams and Panzer Dragoon are great.

Thanks!

Some recommendations:

-Astal - Gorgeous looking 2D platformer.

-Darius Gaiden - One of the greatest shoot-em ups ever made, IMO. So much fun.

-Galactic Attack - Another great shoot-em up (although not as good as Darius Gaiden).

-House of the Dead - Very fun on-rails light-gun game with a zombie theme. But also pretty expensive, unfortunately.

-Marvel Super-Heroes - Great Street Fighter style fighting game from Capcom with eye-popping 2D graphics, and with Marvel Comics characters.

-Resident Evil - If you don't already have this game on the PS1, then this is a must-have. See where the series started.

-Shinobi: Legions - Great 2D action-platformer with Mortal Kombat-esque graphics (digitized), and oh-so-awesome live-action ninja cutscenes.

-Street Fighter Alpha series - It's Street Fighter. If you like fighting games, then these are fantastic buys.

-Panzer Dragoon & PD: Zwei - Fantastic on-rails shooters that have beautiful environments and music.

-Sonic 3D Blast - The definitive version of this game. But most people either hate it or love it.

-Virtua Cop 1 & 2 - Very fun, Sega made, on-rails light-gun shooting games.

Thanks @burningdoom, I was planning on getting Resident Evil (though I do have it for PS1) the RE series is one of my favorites.

I'll have to check out Astal and Shinobi, I love platformers (and live action cut scenes  )

Panzer Dragoon also looks like alot of fun, and I'll buy anything with Sonic on it  lol

The Lost World: Jurassic Park - its like the Genesis games, only with more dinosaurs and you get to play as a T Rex! Its awesome. Each dino and human has different play styles and they are all entertaining. I played the crap out of this one.


I'll post more, when I'm not on my phone.

Thanks pceslayer, I'm gonna have to get a pen and paper for all these lol.

Does anyone know how to repair the RF adapter? I will totally rip this thing open, because I'm gonna get a new one later.

[torvez]

I did see that list, but I don't want 50 games to choose from lol.
just wanted a few of your absolute favorites for the console

thanks!

What style of game do you prefer?

also I'd get away from RF as soon as possible.

Get a composite cable (doesn't have to be from ebay):

If you dig RPGs, then I still have to recommend Panzer Dragoon Saga. It's crazy spendy, but a really fun game and totally different than the original 2 Panzer Dragoons. I've never beat it, but eventually I'll sit down and finish it.

From your description, it's probably just a loose wire. You can bust it open and look around for experience but then pick up an s video cable from amazon for your sanity. If you have the money, you could also go for scart and buy a scart->component converter. This gives you scart quality on US televisions. But this can be expensive. Just a lot of people don't even seem to be aware you can do that. I know I did not know you could do this. Partly because Nintendo consoles could not do this for NTSC-U. But remember, Genesis does. Here is a good intro video:

EDIT: The US SNES could do it for model 1 apparently.

If you enjoy horror games, I highly recommend Enemy Zero. The price has shot up in the past few months (I'm talking going from $30 to $90 for a complete game in a matter of weeks on Amazon,) but I definitely think it's worth checking out if you manage to find a cheaper copy. It can be a bit of a challenge, and I suggest you check out the tutorial on Disc Zero before you do anything else, but it can be quite spooky. It's set on a ship in outer space overrun with invisible aliens who can kill you in one hit on any difficulty. The only way you can detect them is by a beeping sound emitted by an earpiece your character is wearing. As they get closer, the beeping grows higher in pitch and more frantic. It's not for everyone, but I think everyone has already covered the classics here. Good luck hunting these down!
