The Sega Saturn NetLink League

Yeah, unfortunately as the Saturn gets older and older, you have to worry more about the condition the system is in. My spare one that I bought a few months ago was skipping through music, so I gave a slight tweak to the laser adjustment and now it works fine.

Just to say £15 is pretty good for a working saturn in the UK, most game shops will probably charge between £25-£35 for a saturn, cables and one controller, so thats not bad.

The only trouble you may have though is using netlink software and hardware with a PAL (UK) saturn...the netlink modem works ok on a PAL saturn but the keyboard adapter doesnt...but the main issue is running US games on a PAL saturn when the cart slot is already occupied by the netlink modem....yeah fun isnt it...you can get around it by installing a region mod and/or a mod chip so you can play copies which have been region patched...but that may be to much hassle?

Is there a problem with buying items on ebay by the way? just going by something you said earlier?

Cheers, Craig

erm yeah.......... i dont know how old you guys presumed i was but the truth is i'm only 15. my dad lets me buy some stuff of ebay but he isnt to happy about me buying retro stuff so yeah it is a problem.

madder, its a saturn, a videogame system. its not retro. plus chances are your dad wont even know what a saturn is. just pick it up, it'll be worth your while, we're going to have atleast four UK netlinkers.

plus, if you get it i might even include you in one of the match-ups.

yeh my dad knows what a saturn is, he plays video games as much as me and has been playing them twenty years longer.

OK, well convice your Dad that he wants a Saturn then...is he interested in online play? Just think with Saturn Bomberman you and your Dad could play via netlink against me, because bomberman supports up to 4 players via netlink with 2 on each saturn

I'm sure he'll crack

ah its worth a try but i aint promising a good outlook.

Ah, having somebody for Segadreamcaster to play with would be great. The point about you and your dad being able to team up in NetLink Bomberman is excellent, I hadn't even thought of that.

I know...cool idea or what
