This collection is now about 1/4 of the size of what it once was, but still has some nice titles in it along with a few commons and a bunch of duds. *Yes, I stuck in all the NIGHTS demos and versions from the US and UK, but those were in the same shelf space, so I figured I may as well run them here. I’ll get to my smallish US Saturn library at some point. It’s up in a closet with my US Sega CD stuff (also slimmed down dramatically) and I need to see what’s leftover after a few on and off years of whittling it down. Now, if Sega would FINALLY get wise and do a Sega Saturn collection of some of those games I no longer have, I’d be a much happier man…






I see you have games like Grandia and Wizardy. Are you like myself and ok with having games you can’t play in your collection? Or are you blessed with Japanese langage skills? Or… OR! Maybe you know some secret to translate them? Maybe these imports are not Japanese? I can’t quite tell from the images.
I picked up a Saturn recently and I been having a hard time finding good games for the system. But I’m sure that’s because I know so little about it so far.

Well, I muddle through with a set of katakana/hiragana/kanji cards and a few other books. Sometimes I’ll look up spoiler-free walk-throughs if I get stuck. I did luck out in the case of a few PC-Engine games that came with English walk-throughs, but I also took the time to translate stuff on my own (which took less time than I thought, but was still a bit tedious).
I also lucked out as some games can be played with little to no Japanese knowledge once the menus and options are translated. Air’s Adventure is a great example – it’s so easy that you can beat it and not even know what it’s about!. Learning the language isn’t too difficult, but it takes a LOT of patience and effort.
