Here's a complete playthrough of the Sega Saturn port of Defcon 5.



A few points of interest:


- Defcon 5 is a surprisingly fluid game once you get the hang of it. There are numerous ways you can approach beating the game. I decide to play it safe however and lock all the enemies behind doors so they don't respawn and can explore the ship at my own leisure.


- You can either go searching for the self-destruct pad in order to end the game quicker, or you can wait for the enemy ships to destroy the base enough to automatically trigger the self-destruct sequence. Here I end up falling into finding the self-destruct pad and use it to end the game successfully.



- I ended up beating the game within an hour, for the last ten minutes or so of the video I go back to one of the VOS terminals to explore some of the game's lore and view some FMV sequences I missed in the playthrough.



I'd like to thank user PlayStationPaul for his complete playthrough of the PSX version, as I used it for reference in both of my PSX and Saturn playthroughs of the game. His description goes into some better details of the nuances of the game as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pB17aP4JfM
