Follow the Space Invader 

Sega Saturn - Author - Madroms
Level 50 reached! => New item available, only for members. Please follow the space invader (available on the top-right of the page) then register (again). This will be the new place to share stuff about Sega Saturn and other things.



I also added some new information, thanks to SaturnHST and PXL.

SaturnHST lets me know that the European and USA versions of Marvel Super Heroes work with RAM Cartridges. Yes, it was not officially supported, as RAM Cartridges was not released outside Japan, but they work like a charm.
He also tell me that 2 games are missing an item:
- Sega Rally Championship USA was missing a Thanks to Toyota and Lancia Blue Card
- Mouri Motonari ~Chikai no Sanshi~ was missing a Character List.


PXL found one new European game that has been released with a Plastic case: Actua Golf
He also found another CD variation for the European version of Virtua Fighter 2. This time, the cd has a Green Grey color. So, this game has 4 different colors for its cd label!

Alt. Versions - Collector's Point of View 

Sega Saturn - Author - Madroms
From a collector's point of view, having a complete collection is sometimes a goal. Everybody has a different definition of what a complete collection is. It could be: all the games released, all the games released and their variations, all the games and not for sale titles, etc.

A lot of Saturn collectors try to get a complete collection of games released in the US. Games only, not demos. Ok, it is not so difficult to achieve. Then, sometimes, the collection goes a little further than that.

Working Designs is well known in the US to have released some beautiful packages and translations of Japanese games. On the Saturn, they did the same. Particularly, they made some alternate versions for 3 games: Albert Odyssey released with 2 different CD artworks (and a revision of its manual), Magic Knight Rayearth released with 3 different CD artworks and Dragon Force released with no less than 4 different CD artworks and 3 different Backup RAM Cartridge stickers.
This is enough for collectors to try getting all of these alternative versions.


The best for you, Saturn collectors, is to know what to look for and we, at satakore.com, try to help you.

You can already see what the Magic Knight Rayearth CD artworks look:

Sega Saturn Database - Magic Knight Rayearth USA [T-12706H] - All 3 different CD artworks


Same goes for Dragon Force:

Sega Saturn Database - Dragon Force USA [T-12703H] - All 4 different CD artworks and 3 different backup RAM cartridge stickers

(Albert Odyssey will come soon).


Great, isn't it ?
But having the possibility to track down these Alternative Versions is better. This is what we thought. And this is why you can also manage this part of your collection at Satakore.com! Browse directly to The Minor Revisions / Alt. Versions page to see all the games and demos that could be managed this way.


And just for our US Collectors, here is a less known alternative version, for the Not For Sale 3 Free Games Pack:

Sega Saturn Database - 3 Free Games With Purchase of Sega Saturn (Daytona USA - Virtua Fighter 2 - Virtua Cop) USA [81606] - 2 different packagings


There are also some Alt. Versions for Japanese games. We will show you soon some great stuff to collect ;)
