Bonjour à tous!

I'm from Paris, France, and i will begin my introduction in french, it's easier for me, i will do a translation after

Français:

J'ai 32 ans et j'ai eu une Saturn lors de sa sortie en Europe, à choisir entre ridge racer/tekken et sega rally/VF2...Mon choix a vité été fait, j'ai pris la Saturn, en plus je ne croyais pas aux chances de succès de la PS One...Grosse erreur de ma part

J'ai donc passé de nombreuses heures sur la Saturn grace à Mystaria, Worldwide Soccer, Rayman, Sega Rally, Fighters Megamix et d'autres jeux encore...et j'ai eu un coup de blues, tout le monde se foutait de la gueule de la Saturn, je n'avais aucun pote qui possedait cette console qui prenait l'eau en Europe, je bavais devant les jeux japs qui ne sortaient jamais ici...et j'ai échangé ma console contre une N64. Je peux pas dire que Nintendo m'a fait plaisir non plus, je crois que j'étais maudit

Puis par la suite, j'ai continué avec la Dreamcast (divine machine) puis là j'ai une Xbox 360.

Et voilà que j'ai eu envie de revenir aux sources et de me procurer encore une fois une Saturn, ma machine préférée avec la Dream. D'où ma présence sur ce forum .

Ce qui m'a vraiment poussé à venir ici, c'est Murazame. J'ai lu qu'il y avait peu d'inscrit (normal aussi, les gens vont plutot vers les sites généralistes comme JV.com, Gamestop, Kotaku...et niveau rétro en plus, la Saturn est largement moins populaire que la SNES) donc je me suis dit "inscris toi!!!"

Je te remercie pour ce boulot IMMENSE, ces nombreuses reviews qui me font découvrir des jeux inconnus et que je voulais avoir à l'époque . Bravo pour ta volonté de faire vivre le site et le forum.

English Translation.

I'm 32 and I bought a Saturn when it was released in Europe, between ridge racer / tekken sega and rally/VF2...My choice was quickly done​​, I took the Saturn, because i was a Sega Fan and I didn't believe the chances of success of the PS One ... That was a big mistake. So I spent many hours on the Saturn thanks to Mystaria, Worldwide Soccer, Rayman, Sega Rally, Fighters Megamix and other games ... and I felt some spleen, everybody was joking about the Saturn, I didn't have any friend who possessed this console, i was amazed and frustrated by the japonese games that never came here ... and I decided to exchange my console with a N64.

I wasn't happy with my N64, I think I was cursed. Then later, I bought a Dreamcast ( what a machine) and I have bought later an Xbox 360.

And now I wanted to find my ancient love and i bought again a Saturn, my favorite machine with the Dreamcast.

What really pushed me to come here is Murazame. I read that there were few people coming in the forum (logical, people prefer to visit general sites like jeuxvideos.com, Gamestop, Kotaku ... and in the retrogame universe, the Saturn is much less popular than SNES) so I said to myself "let's get in on!"

Thank you for this HUGE job Murazame, with your reviews, i have discovered unknown games that i want to test when i was a teen .

Congratulations on your willingness to manage the website and forum.

Welcome Nookie!

You're not alone, more and more people are revisiting the Saturn only to discover how much they've missed the system. While the Saturn was still for sale I never knew of the import scene. There were no shops in my area that sold imported games. I only discovered imports thanks to the internet I was already passionate about the Saturn but imports have made it my favorite console to this day!

Once again, welcome Nookie!

Thanks for your reply, i've seen you're one of the most present members here

You're right, with ebay, emuation sites, and the boom of the retrogaming, the saturn is discovered again by many people, like me for example, when i have it the first time, i read in the magazines the reviews of games like princess crown, albert odissey...i was disgusted ha ha. I had imported shops but it was so expensive...like now.

Unfortunately, sega saturn will always be less popular than for example machines like Super Nintendo or Neo-Geo. In France, the most popular retro console are the snes by far. It's because of the lack of pal/us games for me. In France, Sega Saturn is very respected by the hardcore gamers, but it's not very known .

Welcome to the board Nookie.
I am glad you liked the Murazame's reviews

[Nookie]

Thanks Madroms .

I've talked about Murazame but all the staff does a fantastic work, i'm impressed by the saturn database also. You must have a lot of passion for this console to continue this adventure

Welcome to the forums Nookie,

like you I rediscovered the Saturn recently. I used to play games like Road Rash, Nights, Virtual cop and D as a kid, it was one of the first consoles I ever played.

After coming back to it after all these years i felt in love with the import scene and now aiming a full JP collecion

[Nookie]

Thanks for your reply Padocast .

It's true that when you search seriously the japonese collection of saturn games, that's totally unbelievable, there's so much unknown games to play

I'm now also looking for more japonese games, i don't know where to begin

[Padoca85]

Yeah, if I didnt collect for a bunch of other systems I would probably be halfway there

You should put up some pics of your collection to the forum
