OG Xbox is one of my favorite systems. It rocks.

ITT: we praise the original Xbox, in all its black glory.

I don't have a controller for mine at the moment. I don't when I'll ever get to play Gun Valkyrie or Otogi again. :/

What a coincidence, I've been trying to figure out a way to play SSX Tricky and SSX3. 

Problem is, I'd have to buy filthy PAL versions to play on the 360 or Wii, but the PAL versions run noticeably slower than the US versions.  My US copies of both games along with my NTSC Gamecube are with my mum and she loves SSX so I don't really want to take the games back.

GAWD I'd love some SSX right now.

I should drag it out and finish Thief 3.  I love that game so much I've been playing it slowly for years in an attempt to extend the experience.

Kaori rocks.  I'm hot for Zoe, but Kaori and her uguu-ness crack me up so I usually play with her second.

I've got SSX Tricky on PS2, SSX3 on GC, and SSX On Tour on PSP (which uses superior SSX3 tracks), plus Freekstyle on GC.  Love those games.  On Tour was a let down and Blur sucked, but the first three SSX games were so damn good.

Really didn't play much aside from a few titles. I didn't get an Xbox until around 2004, and I picked up WoW in 2005, so yeah. Most of my Xbox time was spent playing Halo 1 on XBC. I dunno if I missed out on much anyway

I used to have it plugged in for the longest time because of XBMC and emulators, but the Wii has pretty much replaced it for those functions. It's still a fuckamazing system though, and I did bust it out a couple months ago to play Gunvalkyrie.

There are still Xbox games worth going back to, whereas a lot of the better Saturn games have better versions available on other systems or via emulation.

Piracy doesn't count, bro.

I said "on other systems or via emulation."  There are better ports or game anthologies with these titles, too.  When I look at my Saturn collection, there are very few games that I would still want to play that are not available on other platforms.  Guardian Heroes being the stand-out title.


short version : i agree with Ichi, there's a shitfuckton of Saturn games that justify it as a great platform - plus a shit ton of extras over the arcade versions etc.

Such as?

Yeah, I should clarify by saying that I love the JAPANESE Saturn.  Saturn was the first system I extensively imported games for.  It was very easy to play Japanese games on it, you just bought a converter cartridge for it.

I remember Bug! and Bug Too!  Those were bad.  There were a number of other great platformers on the XBox Saturn, though - Keio Flying Squadron and Astal for example.  Saturn still has the best version of Mega Man 8, too.

Problem with XBox was it came out when I was a dirty college grad-studies poor, I probably woulda bought one otherwise.  That and it had a fairly short lifespan when compared to something like the PS2.

i had spiralled up to about 300, but i think this time around i'm at a more reasonable 120 or so. There IS a lot of sh1t out there.

Crows has to be the single worst game that goes for around 20k yen mint, even 9800y is a joke. I got it back in the day for 2800y and i STILL felt ripped off. Insipid game design.

Back to the Xbox - agreed with Demi, Phantom Dust is hubbahubba. though with no online it surely takes a hit ? :/


I think at one point I made it a goal to get every 2D fighter on the Saturn.  Even had really shit ones like Rabbit.

Other than that, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Nanatsu kaze no shima monogatari, Burning Ranger, Mr Bones, Waku Waku 7, Elan Doree, Princess Crown, 10 player Saturn frigging Bomberman....

I'm not sure if I could take going back and attempting to play 3D Saturn games like Burning Rangers at this point.   :lol  Elan Doree sucked.  Waku Waku 7 is a Neo-Geo port, and not one of the better ones...grainy backgrounds and slowdown issues plague it.  The Neo-Geo version kills it, and you can also get it on the PS2 Sunsoft Collection.  Princess Crown is also on PSP.  Saturn Bomberman is awesome, but you can Bomberman on pretty much everything.

Do you guys remember Astra Superstars?  That was a pretty impressive 2D fighter, the third in the "trilogy" of Sunsoft fighting games that started with Galaxy Fight and WW7.

Quote
i'm sure theres more, but for me it's a great machine with a good library. Laughable library is pretty unfair... :runsoffcrying

No, I agree with you on that.  Calling it "laughable" is ridiculous.

Well, I love me some wacky jappy games too. :-*

Didn't the US get the shaft on Japanese imports though?

Well, it was easy to play Saturn games with a variety of converters that fit into the system's cartridge slot, but if you mean getting the shaft on a lot of great arcade game conversions, hell yes.  I couldn't believe that Capcom games like X-Men Vs. Street Fighter, which was a phenomenal conversion of the original, never made it over.

Yeah, I should clarify by saying that I love the JAPANESE Saturn.  Saturn was the first system I extensively imported games for.  It was very easy to play Japanese games on it, you just bought a converter cartridge for it.

You don't have to clarify...it's a given with the Saturn.   :lol

I have a fuckton of Saturn games too

Me too, but a huge chunk of them are arcade ports, and that's why for me there are so few games left I'd want to turn on my Saturn for.  And yes DCharlie and Ichi, I would much rather play the arcade versions emulated, with superior visuals and sounds, than ports lacking color, filled with load times, missing animation, grainy sound, etc.

Er, fuuu

I meant Saturn.  Still half-asleep.  Keio Flying Squadron isn't on XBox either, that's a Saturn platformer that only came out in Japan & Europe.

Got the Euro version of it.  It's so-so.  

At one point, I liked the Saturn more than the PSOne, but then the PSOne got more and more titles, Saturn support faltered, and even the 2D fighting game conversions (sans the Vs. games) got much better on the Playstation.  I didn't have a PSOne when Street Fighter Zero 3 got announced; I had sold my entire collection to pay off a debt, but I ended up getting one back for that game when (at the time) it was announced that they weren't even bringing it to the Saturn.

I only played Steel Batallion once.  The manager at a Babbages got one copy of the game at the mall store and he bought it for himself.  When the store closed, he hooked it up to the in-store kiosk and let my friend and I play around a bit.

I wish I bought it.  I wish I knew that a few years later, I would be spending as much on plastic drums and guitars, so I wouldn't feel as bad buying it.
