I hope you are all happy, safe & healthy whatever challenges you are facing right now. Apologies for the delays in uploads - life has been hectic!
Fans of my channel will know that the Saturn was my console of choice back in that generation of gaming. Not once did I regret the decision to choose Sega's 32-bit powerhouse despite it coming a distant third to Sony's all-conquering PlayStation and 2nd globally to Nintendo's cartridge based N64.
Despite the other systems getting more praise from the magazines of the time and getting more ports and big name releases I loved a lot of the software Sega was putting out and once you add the Japanese library to the mix then it is a console with a lot to love.
I've been meaning to start uploading Saturn videos for a while.
This is Sky Target. Originally a 1995 arcade game running on Sega's Model 2 hardware it was ported to Sega Saturn in 1997. It wasn't officially part of the Afterburner series but does have songs from that series on the soundtrack. Its more of a spiritual sequel.
Its a fun arcade blast but ultimately fairly shallow. It is the first time I've played it in years but it is easy to pick up and play.
Always struck me as a strange one to port as the arcade wasn't a big hit. Feel like it could have done with a bit longer in development to smooth off the graphics and maybe add some more to it as it is a fairly barebones port.
Worth checking out for fans of the genre.
Want to see more Saturn games. I have tons of them, both Japanese & PAL games - as I say - it was my main system for that generation.
This is my original Japanese copy - from back in the day played (at 60Hz) on my modded PAL Model 1 Saturn through a Retrotink 5X for ease of capture - although my capture card didn't want to play nicely for some reason.
I'll be uploading more better Saturn games than this though in the future :-)
As always if you enjoy this video let me know. As always this is running on original hardware. Also let me know if there are particular games or systems you'd like to see.
