| curl-6 said: The Neo Geo was pretty cool; my brother used to own one, and from its crazy good arcade ports to its ridonkulously huge cartridges, (seriously, they were bigger than VHS tapes) it was a really badarse system. I also have a soft spot for the Saturn; didn't own one myself but one of my cousins did, and as someone who's interested in the technical side of gaming, its quirky hardware (2 CPUs, 2 different video processors, quads instead of triangles) is intriguing. |
Yeah, most people don't know that in theory the Saturn was more powerful than the PS1. Developers just didn't know how to effectively use the 2 CPUs. Rendering quads at that time was very interesing and kind of unheard of for any game console as PS1 could only render tris. It had a lot of potential but was cut short by Sega's incompetence and messy marketing strategies. The Saturn itself doesn't have many US games and even worse not many of them are any good. Shining Force 3 and Panzer Dragoon were kickass games though.
