This topic is officially awesome.

Now I know completely pointless facts about all you guys, and vice versa!

7) Me and my brother collected the largest NES and SNES collect in the state, a whopping 450 games!

how did you get so many games?

3. I'm obsessed with steampunk, ebay, and sega saturns.

why saturns? the consoles or games? do you have guardian heroes? ive been thinking of getting one just to have it

[WarHampster]

Saturns interest me because of their very strange and innovative hardware (3 CPUs!), the large amount of very strange and awesome games for the system, and the fact that most people think of the system as a failure (it's not).

I have three systems, two development systems, one development box, and the mirage CD emulator.

I actually don't have Guardian Heros, but I'm hoping to pick it up soon (for a reasonable price )

I recommend getting one purely for Panzer Dragoon Saga (the best RPG ever), if you can afford the game (usually around 200$+).

what other good games are there?

i think it had two processors, the rumor was that sega got wind of the playstation specs being superior and instead of redesigning they just added another processor. it WAS a failure because with two processors it was really hard to develop for, it was $400 at launch when the ps was $300 and the ps had better 3d capabillity.

[WarHampster]

Failure commercially, but not in terms of having great games.

There are definitely three processors... the system has an entire processor just for sound. (I would know )

It is hard to develop for, but when people actually utilized the full capabilities of the  system it could do some pretty awesome things.

Great games include the panzer dragoon series, burning rangers, nights into dreams, dragon force, saturn bomberman... tons of other US games. Then if you get into japanese games theres stuff like radiant silvergun, wachenroder... the list goes on.

[Gnome]

how did you get so many games?

I brother got most of them, I'll ask him next time he pops by. (Out of college)
