Sega Saturn

I'm back into being interested in the Sega Saturn again. I'm looking for a Saturn box flap so I can call another game I have complete. I have the back of the box, disc, and manual for "Magic Carpet," but no place to store the manual. It's really quite the conundrum. Anyway, I doubt I will be able to get all 255 Saturn games (since there's real expensive RPGs. I don't want to pay that much for a game I won't be able to play. I don't like RPGs.) but I want to come as close as possible. I would also be interested in purchasing Saturn homebrews, but there aren't any I know of for sale. You'd think if people made and sold Dreamcast homebrews that they would work on Saturn stuff too, but I suppose that's not the case. Right now, I have 40 Saturn games all CIB. I like my most recent games CIB. I don't really know quite why, but I just do. It just makes me mad to see DS cart only games for sale at video game stores. I want to say "What's wrong with you? Can't you keep the box, too? It's not that big!" When I started DS collecting in 2005, I always kept the box. As a result, I have games from 2005 all nice in their boxes. But they're not Saturn games. I wonder why Sega decided to make such big boxes for Saturn games. Not only are they big and cumbersome, they're fragile as heck. I just wish they had just regular style boxes like they switched over to the Dreamcast.

Commercial homebrew releases are dependent on several requirements:

  • What is required to get the console to run homebrew. Lockout chips and other security measures may make this difficult or impossible.
  • Sufficient community interest in buying homebrew rather than download & play. Why buy a homebrew on CD-R if you can download it and burn it yourself?
  • Sufficient community & tools to develop the homebrew games. In general, the more sophisticated the console the more effort will be required to create a quality game (not just a port).

"I wonder why Sega decided to make such big boxes for Saturn games."

 

Because Sega of America was stupid, and they probably had a pile of leftover Sega CD cases.
