The Sega Saturn NetLink League

Still remeber being a punk kid in junior high and drooling over stuff like this. There was something about gaming in the '90s ... a magic or feeling that I've never felt since.

Wow, thanks for the memories!

The demos aren't amazing he says ... :wink: Hey all, It's been a while, but it's good to see the league still up & runnin'! Since I don't have a landline anymore, for me, NetLinkings out. But I'm still doing a bit on the homebrew side of things (I'm actually Zaksund over at SegaXtreme). Some of ...

Congrats! Getting a better AV connection is a cheap and relatively easy way to breathe new life into your console. For the Saturn or pretty much any console, I find RGB to be a huge step up from composite. You'll see no more color bleeding (especially reds), interference, or dot crawl. With the boos...

These games are fantastic. :D Out of the two, I'd have to give the nod to Zwei. I mean not only does it run at a higher frame rate, but it also uses the Saturn's VDP2 effect really well (for the transparent water of the Episode 4 boss), and I know I was in shock when I found out that the great sound...

Outtrigger. Online play that puts up to 6 people in an arena the size of a bathroom stall and has you all shoot it out. Talk about nuts, but it was great! :D And the small arena size meant you spent less time searching for an opponent and more time strafing between rocket fire, more time jumping fro...

The Saturn was always known (to the few that stuck with it) for its arcade ports, but a lot of the great original games on the system were platformers. And remarkably, most of those platformers came extremely early in the system's life. You know, that's one thing I never fully understood about the ...

I saw the openings...

There's no much differences, only the logo... =)

Well the music is a little different too

Heh, guess after 10+ years I was just excited to see some variation on the standard startup sequence.

This is probably gonna get boo'ed but I have to mention VF3TB. While most folks were addicted to the still impressive visuals and ease-of-play present in Soul Calibur, it was the depth present in VF3TB that grabbed me. While featuring a heckuva lot less flash and noticeably lower-poly models, VF3TB ...

Hi and welcome to the board! :D Glad to see that you're considering a Saturn, it really is a great machine and still manages to get more playtime from me than any of my other consoles. :P As far as console regions go ... you can purchase an American or Japanese system and play imports just fine as l...

I'm gonna say Ikaruga. I want to try Shenmue,Headhunter and Rez though... Hey! I was just playing this last weekend. Man, what a game! One of the few titles I can think of that actually becomes more difficult 2-player. At first I couldn't stand this title, thinking the gameplay was too much puzzle ...

Nice list! As odd as it might sound today, there are quite a few people who consider X-men vs. Street Fighter to be the best of the versus series. Even after all these years something about the presentation still screams "Look at me! I'm an arcade game!!" This truly is a great example of a...

Yeah, with Saturn Mods you really don't have to solder to the PSU at all. I used hot-glue to just hold a bent wire in place (literally just rubs off if you screw up) and it's worked for years. Einhander, for your mod on the model 2, did you connect a wire to the CD block or did you just use the A+B ...

The final attacks in Tech Romancer will make you go blind with all the crazy speedlines and flashes, ah...good stuff.

Project Justice is a nice game also.

Nice! I'll keep an eye out.

Hey guys! Anyone want to play this Friday(tomorrow) or this weekend? I'm up for whatever, whether it's NetLink gaming or Homebrew server PSO. On Friday, I'll be free any time after 6p...and virtually any time on the weekend. Sorry I haven't been around dudes, summer sessions started like 2 weeks ago...
