ive always been on the verge of buying a saturn for the past three years but something always stops me.
can anyone give me a good enough reason to try and get one and how much does netlink cost to play.
is it free through your broadband and will in even work in the uk

Hi,

Yes I would say its worth getting a Saturn, there are many great games on the saturn many of which have been vastly under-rated much like the Dreamcast...you will most likely find a number of titles to interesest you no matter what genre you prefer.

You would not be able to use broadband with the saturn as its features do not use the internet (apart from web browsing). The saturn uses direct dial, which is just like a phone call...one saturn dials another and the other saturn picks up the phone call and a connection is established...calls are charged as normal phone calls...price obviously depends on where you are calling to. If you have a plan that allows free calls then you will have free calls....pretty good really if you are on a package for free local and national calls and know someone else who has a netlink...thats where this site comes in

Cheers, Craig

Yup, it's definitely worth it to buy one. Virtual On. Daytona. Sega Rally, various 2d awesome fighting games, and more. My personal favorite is Saturn Bomberman. Just that game might be worth a Saturn alone. Oh, also Virtua Fighter, Virtua cop, even House of the Dead.

You won't regret it dudes!

The amount of exclusives this system still has is staggering. Most titles in it's library have yet to see sequels or updates on any other machine. The Saturn represents a time when Sega was firing on all cylinders not only in the arcades, but also when it came to original home content.

The Saturn is like an entire other world. Just so much new experience to be had, and really takes you back to a great time for video gaming. Not to mention the NetLink device just adds on to the benefits!
