Aw hell yeah, thanks homie! :)
Combos are dummy easy to maintain. I still felt that keeping up in crew battles was enough of a challenge, but yeah, just casually cranking out 1,000,000+ point combos was a cinch.
That’s what I had to do. Played when it came out, got distracted by something else. Two years later, I was able to just start over and run through it in about a week. Great game.
Just posting a reminder that Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is very good and very worth your time.
I love the Sega Saturn.
It was underrated. If you strip away the MMO elements, they made a great base game and a fantastic world.
That’s cool to hear your dad was in the biz! What station(s) if I may ask?
The station I work at now does not provide me with a clothing stipend. My previous station did though, $1,000 per year as long as I got them from the store they had an ad deal with. I just use those now. Got a decent amount! Strict dress code though. All blacks, greys and navy blues.
Thank you Kyle! It has very thin blue stripes on it. I have another from the same company with subtle purple stripes.
According to the credits, it’s Hyakutaro Tsukumo. He also did the tunage for Hyper Duel and Reverthion.
Here’s another Saturn slammer :) youtu.be/yAGRCda_xG4?...

Ced, creator of the Fenrir device, said the French postal service is still accepting shipments to the U.S. if they are gifts. Ced has recently shipped some Fenrir units to stateside customers, but it remains to be seen if they will be delivered. “I have the impression that everyone is in mist.”
This might be, unintentionally(?), one of the funniest fucking things i've ever heard Oh my god (Warning: LOUD)
Re-upload of the two “Nothing Else Matters” Sega Saturn commercials. youtu.be/Fr2QZsS-07c?...
*cries in American*
The Japanese imports are a great way to— Oh wait……….
It was such a baller arcade. If you’re still looking for food recs: India Palace (NOT passage to India) is really good. Absolutely go to Tea and Crepe no matter what, great crepes and milk tea. Drekker is cool, Wurst is good, Black Bird has great pizza.
*and live in the US
I ordered it from Japan… ………..yesterday.
Apparently, my top score on Pixeled’s Darius Burst cabinet still stands — even though I left town two years ago. You all have one day left to beat it!!
Pixeled Arcade and Brewing in Fargo ND is closing down today. It is easily one of the best modern arcades I have ever been to, with 60+ well maintained machines. The footage of me & Tit0 playing NBA Jam TE in my video was shot there by Jordan Ryan. Sad that it’s going away. youtu.be/FcwjgnaQXXU?...
I just watched it in full last week, it was a great video. Such a good illustration of the role women protagonists had (have) in games. The DK rap bit also had me rolling. People getting bent in the comments proves your point is still relevant today lol
Not sure how this is nine months old and I’m only just now hearing it. youtu.be/YgQdm6OX4CE?...
This honorary Sega Saturn record just arrived.
65 pages!!!!!! Damn. Well done.
It's finally here! archive.org/details/the-... The errata of The Ultimate History of Video Games by Steven Kent. Took me a few years (cough) but its many errors are now compiled for your perusal. I will update this, so let me know of any errors you spot.
Hell yeah! It’s been treating us well so far and the sound is impressive.
A 1byOne. Everything is built in, though it can use external speakers as well. Replaceable stylus, counter weight and such. My wife and I wanted a self contained unit for physical space reasons, but didn’t want to settle for the many crappy Crosley clone units out there.
“Wait a minute… this sounds like vapor and/or wave!”
If everyone in a city gets a DS and leaves it on Pictochat, provided we're all within 60 feet of each other, we could have an impenetrable Pictochat chain network.
Flip, trick & grind through a vibrant Japanese dystopia in Denshattack! Outsmart rival crews, crush a shady megacorp, and reclaim the rails with pure skill, speed & style. 🚅✨ 🎮 Wishlist now: fireshinegames.co.uk/Denshattack/
The source code of the SlaveDriver Engine, powering the 1996 game PowerSlave for the Sega Saturn, is now published under the GPLv3. github.com/Lobotomy-Sof... archive.org/details/slav...
Oh, sick.
For sure! Keep in mind, it appears to start tracking sales in late 1996. Saturn hit Japan in late 1994.
Famitsu tracked some of it, based on what’s on Niche Barrier nichebarrier.com/console/sega...
Sega Saturn Sandwich
Gonna fight to keep Windows 10 as long as I can. Hopefully Linux will catch on with other software devs so we can just switch to that soon. Ugh.
I hate this website so much.

Okay, thank god, I thought it was just me. Didn’t get the hype.
Let it be know that Sidney Prescott is a Sega girl as evidenced by the Sega Saturn on top of her TV in Scream 2
YES. It is a video game.
I know the one you’re talking about and tried finding it myself not long ago. It’s offline for some reason.
Today is the 29th anniversary of Death Crimson for the Sega Saturn. Happy Death Crimson day to all!!
I probably either saw it at a friends house or saw it somewhere and forgot. But the dream memory sticks out. It was wild.
This is very unrelated, but the N64 childhood memories reminded me of this story. When I was a kid, I had these weird dreams about animals in a space farm. They had these weird looking dogs and other trippy things. Then in like, 2022, I played Space Station Silicon Valley. It was the dream!!!
I obvi still love old games and the history of old games. The thing about them is they don't stop being good and enjoyable because it is the year 2025. They actually got better.
Shoutout to Mark Bussler for doing it anyway back in 1999.
I try to be! There's a lot more to games like Ghen War than the first few levels.

This one makes sense. There is more "forcing yourself" to enjoy a particular game nowadays with all the options we have.
Though making an episode exclusively with old gear might be kind of fun to try out sometime. Haha
Hell, I wouldn't be able to make my niche nerdy youtube videos back then. What once required expensive cameras, tape editing racks and a whole mess of equipment for gameplay capture can now be done on a computer with inexpensive equipment. I can video call interviewees instead of traveling.
(Circuit Social in Norfolk VA for those wondering. Most of the cabs are in good shape. They also run Gunblade NY, so that's dope.)
Yeppppp!! 😬
Arcades are more dependent on where people live, but the scene is growing. I can walk down the street from my home to enjoy a drink while playing an imported DDR cab with all the songs on it.
They're like, porting Mario Kart 64 to the Dreamcast and Tomb Raider to the GBA.
I feel this in a cosmic sense.
Like, I can play the original Crash Team Racing online now. I can connect my Saturn to another for online play with a laptop. If I hear about a cool Sega CD game, I can just download it and play it in minutes. Slippi. Parsec. Speedruns. Weird nerds on YouTube. We have it good, friends.
Hung up on a relatively recent discussion on retro game nostalgia and wanted to share two of my cents. Nowadays, we have robust emulation, flash carts, ODEs, online modes of old games, decomps, proto leaks, easy-to-find niche communities, and new similarly styled games. I do not want to "go back."
Hell yeah. :)

I swear this is a real screen in the 2002 E.T. game for PlayStation. 32bits.substack.com/p/under-the-...
It may be. For example, I did notice a warmer reception to NFTs on the Japanese side for a little while after the western online space started rejecting them. Not defending the use of genAI here, but it may not have the widespread distaste that it has in English speaking spaces.
I need to know if anyone else messes around with these.
it goes further: Yu Suzuki had a oh-shit-the-boss-is-here button installed on his devkits that'd corrupt the screen and make the game look visibly "unfinished", in order to keep his boss from trying to force the game out the door ASAP shmuplations.com/afterburner/
Longbox PS1 games are one of my kinks.
Yes, that’s my ninja star. Right? It’s my ninja star?
Major shoutout to @wayneisboss.bsky.social for having me on the show alongside @gameapologist.bsky.social for a lovely Saturn chat!! Thanks again. :)
Keio Flying Squadron 2 is one of those Saturn games that Europe got while North America didn't. That meant no English 60hz version existed — until KoolFiller's new patch! Get the details in our story: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2025/07/31/k... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming #videogames
Hell yeah!! Enjoy your vacation, it's a great day for golf.
This is a heaping dose of 80’s, a lot of 80’s for one person to bear on their shoulders.

Justin Towell solved an important Sega Saturn mystery — the deep cut love song that somehow got put into the Steep Slope Sliders soundtrack. What's the deal with it, and what are its lyrics? Great work and research in play here, this video is sick as hell. youtu.be/7W-ZSeSuOA8?...

This and the SSM JP Top 100 (magazine reader vote) are a great show of how different the Japanese Saturn experience was compared to everywhere else. Without the language barrier, you can’t really call it a failure. Also shoutout to them voting Eve Burst Error as the best Saturn game.
youtu.be/__1tmTGUVsw?...
Fun stats here for Saturn likers with Japanese top 100 sales numbers taken from a March 2000 Dreamcast magazine. there's more than a 2x gap between first and second place! Fewer than half the top 100 titles came out in the west! Lots to look at here.
Hawk with a GameCube controller on a high level can feel and sound like playing Melee. It’s entertaining, but yeah, DualShock is waaay better for these games.
And they put in so many stages too!! I was happy enough to see the Metal Mario stage included. Now there’s like, what, 50+ stages?? Crateria is dope, First Destination is a fun add, and I love including the Pokémon Stadium announcer color commentating the fights.
This new version of Smash Remix is super good. They did a particularity incredible job with Crash, his animations and stage. He feels right at home in the Smash 64 setting. One thing I love about Remix is how well it caters to both casual and comp. I like to no items stock and 1P mode playthrough.
Is there another way to watch them? This is sadly my first time hearing about him and the videos sound awesome.
Crazy Taxi fan here. Hope to see you return to Virginia Beach! Sorry we rained you out. Bring Bad Religion with you next time for all us SEGA heads!!! 🤪
Want to note for the record, there were no fewer than two other dudes there dressed in red Hawaiian shirts and brown shorts.
Yo, I NEED a link to this playlist the same way I need air.
This whole delay gives me a chance to track down a green spiky hair wig.
Jimmy Eat World opened before the show got yoinked and they are still great live.
Went to the The Offspring show in Crazy Taxi garb, but it got rained out and postponed. Maybe their next show will have Bad Religion as the opener?
*Three that were released ;)
Yep! (Sort of)
