The Saturn is what some consider to be the machine that truly started the downward spiral for Sega's home console efforts.

It was a frustratingly complex machine to develop for, ran directly against the mighty Sony PlayStation (but with a $100 higher price tag), and had a botched surprise release in the United States with only 6 launch titles to show for it. While it did great in Japan, Sega's other international efforts made risky sales and advertising decisions that caused it to fall hard and lose tons of money. Ultimately, Sony destroyed its competition in this console war with their less expensive, more powerful, and far more supported machine in the market.

However, don't count the Saturn out all these years later! It had absolutely incredible exclusives, faithful arcade ports, and it could do 2D games with far cooler presentation and effects than the PlayStation could. There is a treasure trove just waiting for you, regardless of what happened back in the '90s.

Special items included: Unreleased games, prototypes, English-patched translations, and titles not in English that are easy enough to play without being fluent in another language.
