I’ve been doing a lot of retro gaming as of late. Picked up a Sega Dreamcast and Sega Saturn awhile back.

Had a Saturn as a kid, but never picked up the Dreamcast after the 32X/Sega CD/Saturn debacles. Just didn’t have faith Sega could ever release a successful console after so many failures in the past.

Going back and playing those systems, I can say the Saturn had a ton of good games and is a criminally underrated system. I’m playing a fan translation of Policenauts (made by Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima) right now and it is a damn good game.

The Dreamcast is fun too, but it just wasn’t around long enough to build a really deep library like the PS2 did. It’s a shame too. It is a gorgeous system. I fell in with it the minute I took it out of the box.

For anyone into retro gaming, the Sega CD, Saturn, and Dreamcast can all play burned CDs, so they are good systems to own. Only the Saturn requires any sort of modding, and even then you only need an action replay cart with a program called Pseudo Saturn in order to play burned games.
