So the card slot had no function for SegaNet subscribers? Seems weird they'd just include it. Sucks on the 14.4, but you'll probably never play it anyway, so it is just a great historical artifact. How much did you have to shell for it? As far as I could tell from reading the included manuals the s...

I wonder what happens to these unreleased games? Do Sega archive them and could you contact Sega about licensing and purchasing of these titles? It would be cool to obtain this kind of stuff and sell it to the Saturn community wouldn't it? If they were first or second party games then probably they...

There might be more import ones out there that support it. Certainly a cool concept, it is a pity more consoles and games didn't have this type of feature. Would be great for party gaming if you had more then one TV resonably close together. Seems kind of hard to find today. There is a Japanese sell...

Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story 2 -

This doesn't come in a standard Saturn CD case. Instead it opens up like a book with the manual in the front and the CD held in place on the last 'page'.

I don't know if it ever had a spine card, I got it used.

I realize that the Japanese modem operated on a SegaNet server similar to Dreamcast and thusly none are playable today Are you sure about this? The wikipedia article for SegaNet states: "Unlike other online services, one doesn't connect to a central service, but instead tells the dial-up modem...
