This episode was made quite some time ago. I wanted to start a line of comparisons between Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation games. I never completed it because I started on a bunch of other videos. I decided to go ahead and wrap this one up and see what the reception was. Please let me know if you'd like to see more.

Episode Notes:

1. The Japanese version of The Need for Speed on the Saturn was called Nissan Over Drivin' GT-R. It's all Nissan and Datsun cars instead of the exotics seen here. Much of the game has been reworked.

2. The Playstation version of Need for Speed runs at an uncapped framerate, basically averaging out 2 or 3 frames faster than the Saturn game that is locked at 30fps. You can see it in a few of the gameplay sections where, despite the speed, the PS version is moving faster on the track.

3. The 3DO version was a good game when it released, but the additional tracks and options here make these the ones you want to play. The updated PC version is nice too.

4. The Saturn version supports the Racing Wheel and the Mission Stick analog controllers.

5. This game is cheap. Complete copies are rarely more than $20.

6. My favorite of these games was Need for Speed III : Hot Pursuit. It was the first game I bought for my first 3D accelerator card on the PC. It was glorious.
