Ahhh... retro gaming heaven.Regular readers (I think I have some) may recall not long ago I mentioned trying to run a Sega Saturn emulator on my laptop, and failing miserably. Well, a new retro gaming shop has opened in town... mostly PS1s, Dreamcasts and Nintendo 64s, but just on the offchance, I asked the guy behind the counter of he had any Saturns, and what do you know? They had one, stashed away in the back.
Better yet, it came with a copy of Christmas Nights which turns out to be very collectable as it was a fairly limited release.
Playing games on the machine is quite a peculiar experience. The graphics really do kinda suck, being like sub-standard PS1 gfx, but the gameplay... well... it's Sega, and while they may have a crappy reputation for abandoning their users with unsupported hardware, their games were always second to none (though nintendo may disagree).
So at the moment I have Christmas Nights, Sega Rally, Manx TT Superbike and Clockwork Knight... but with the Saturn games in that shop selling for between 99p and £2.99, you can be pretty sure I'll wind up buying everything they've got in pretty short order. Bet they don't get their hands on any copies of Radiant Silvergun any time soon though.
