Playing it now actually. It's a game that breaks all the cliches of what the Saturn could do. |
| Warmsignal:
I've never played it, but in my opinion no gaming experience no matter how good, is worth anything near that amount of money. If someone took away my favorite game of all time and said I could only play it again if I paid $500, I'd tell em' to keep it. I don't think any game is worth much more than what the original asking price was. The price is really about the item, more than it is the game. There are tons of great games out there, many of which are not expensive at all. If you are really, really feeling the itch to play this game, I've heard you can mod a Saturn to play any burnt game. |

It's history and a legacy if a doomed system that still threw punches even when close to death. A game that was beyond a nightmare to program an almost cancelled many times and three people died making this game which almost lead to it being cancelled again, but they decided to come together and make this game a reality, and they succeeded. So you're not just buying a game. |

But I'd still recommend to watch some (not to too much so it won't spoil the story) gameplay an/or digitally( 8) ;D ) try the game before jumping on the bandwagon. --- End quote --- Why can't it be remade? I can see it not being re-released in it's original form, but remade would mean from the ground-up again, right? So why can't that happen? Sega seems to be sitting on a lot of money, if they were to do that. Tons of retro gamers want to play that one, but not pay the price. And the news of the guy that recently cracked the Saturn's DRM means that the code can now be retrieved again, right? (I'm not a techie guy, so forgive me if that's a stupid question.) |
