Help me give my Saturn some love!

So I have the misfortune of being a game collector living in the UK. To say the least, back in the days of old, we didn't get many games.

Well okay, we kind of did, but every time I hear about an old game that really really catches my attention and I decide to look into it, I find out it never made it into Europe and I can't play it.

Most consoles I can at least find other games I like for, but my Saturn is picking up dust pretty bad right now because I'm really struggling to find some games for it that look interesting to me that were released here. Pretty much the only exclusives I have for it that I can get into are the Panzer Dragoon games, and I've turned every top 10 Saturn games list upside-down to find more I like the look of with no success.

So, fellow buyers of old things, can you guys recommend me some Saturn games you like that were released in the UK?
If it helps with recommendations I love me a good story in a game, and I particularly like turn-based or similar style JRPGs. I also like games that try something new/are generally different from other games I've played. I'm a sucker for good soundtracks too. But any recommendations are fine.

At the moment the exclusives I have are Panzer Dragoon 1 2 & Saga, Nights into Dreams and Clockwork Knight.

There are some games that I have my eye on but cost every penny I will ever make in my life ever, but if I see people recommending them I'll try to prioritise them.

Check out my sega saturn collection. Don't mean to brag but you should find what you're looking for there.

I've heard Shining the Holy Ark mentioned a fair bit but never thought to look it up, that one looks interesting. Also had no idea Parodius was on the Saturn, I'm pretty short on shmups, I'll probably try and pick it up.

Thanks for that! :D

I had the same problem. Even the common Saturn games are starting to get in to the $30-$40 range, on the cheap end. I JUST sold my Saturn because I didn't see myself spending that much on common games anymore. And the RPGs and shoot-em ups I REALLY want are way out of my price-range.
