I have a Saturn but not many games for it as they were difficult to come by at the time (even worse now). My favorite game by far was "Shining Force III" but I accidentally broke the game disc when removing it from its badly designed case. O_O; The only other game I played a lot of was "Shining the Holy Arc" and a "Nights into Dreams" demo. My friends and I got a LOT more play out of their N64 than this Saturn got when that generation of consoles was current.
