[CLOSED] Raffle: Saturn plus games

[Bernie]

I have a working Sega Saturn, with all hook-ups, plus several games I am going to raffle.  All the games are loose with manual, and most have scuffing but appear to play with no issues.  This was something I bought in a lot, and just cant get into it.  Rather focus my attention on the Turbo for now.  Anyway..  the system has recently had a new battery installed and works just fine.  I will post pics sometimes this weekend.  If you are interested, just sign up.  No rules, just a freebie.  Only thing I ask is that the winner pays shipping, once I have shipped and know what the cost is.

No way! That's awesome, sign me up!

The Saturn is one of the few systems I've never owned, but some of the 2D fighters and Japanese shooters I've seen have piqued my curiosity.  Probably cost me a bomb in shipping but whatever!

[turbokon]

I'm actually been thinking about a Saturn so sign me up please.

[JoshTurboTrollX]

O_O holy sundown Bernie!! Color me interested! Sign me up please.


How come you couldn't get into it?

[futureman2000]

I have a Saturn, so I'm passing- but kudos on another awesome raffle!

[Bernie]

Nothing wrong with the system, just didnt want to spend more monies on games for this, when I am mainly focusing on the Turbo.    So, rather than have it sit in my closet, I figured I would let someone have it that will use it.   

[Frank_fjs]

I don't wish to enter the raffle but wanted to praise you for your generosity. It's people like you that help keep retro collecting fun.

[soop]

I just had a thought; because I'm in the UK, I think I'd need a step-down converter to use a foreign Saturn over here, so with the shipping, it's probably not such a good deal for me.  I withdraw my entry, and substitute +2 turbo(saturn?)karma.

[Nando]

sweet!
Count me in please!

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Count me out, but help yourself to a fistful of TurbobKarma for being so generous. 

[Duo_R]

Count me in for this one! Awesome raffle!

Any US saturn game worth playing cost $$$ , my bro sold his for the same reason. Besides who needs SEGA shit when you've got a Turbo

[roflmao]

Galactic Attack. Cheap and awesome US shmup.  And Virtua Cop is pretty common and fun to play.  Generally, though, you're right.  Far too many crummy games for the system.  And most of the really good games go for far too much.

Having said that, Dragonforce is freaking awesome and I haven't found a similar game on any other system.  However, I don't know if  I'd pick it up at today's prices.  Same goes for Saturn Bomberman.  Luckily I picked those up bitd.

On the other hand, the system has oodles of fantastic games over in Japan. Japanese Saturn games have gotten pretty darn cheap, and modding a US system to play Japanese games is pretty simple.

EDIT: a quick browsing of ebay suggests the popular Japanese Saturn games are as expensive as ever. So hmmmm, yeah, Saturn's a tough call.

I have no idea about the pricing on US Saturn games but you can get pretty good deals on Japanese releases either on the Segaga Domain Store or from Rakuten. In the eternal words of Segata Sanshiro: "Play Sega Saturn".

[Jugbug]

I'd like to enter if I can.  I'm pretty new around here though, so I totally understand if otherwise.

There are loads of great Japanese Saturn games for peanuts. I mean absoluetly JACK SHIT prices. I stopped buying US releases ages ago (when the system was still going) for the same reason I don't buy US PCE games; nightmare packaging, box art, censorship, too expensive, etc.

I mean, seriously, do you want this (keep in mind there is a %80 chance the shitty US case will be broken):

Not trying to be an asshole, so please do not take this the wrong way.  But....your first post is in a give away thread???  Don't you think you should at the very least snoop around some, post about yourself, contribute where ya can..anything?  I did say I have no rules, I guess I just took for granted that nobody with one lone post, would have that post in a raffle.
