I had a Saturn... and i loved it, probably one of my favourite consoles of all time and much under appreciated by many many people... It had some of the greatest games of all time on it...

Unfortunately, that was not seen here, as Jeff didn't play any of them, and instead played a bunch of very forgettable rubbish... It's no wonder he never saw the beauty of the Saturn if this was the collection of games he had for it!

This was great! it totally made my Christmas just like the last one of these you did. The only thing it was missing was Jeff putting his games away whilst sad Christmas music is playing, and Vinny going mad with the TriCaster setting Jeff on fire...But i don't want to cry like that ever again so. I'm glad.

I hope this becomes an annual thing, I guess 2 counts as annual right? but i can't remember if the last one was '09 or '10

Man, that talk about the Crazy Taxi soundtrack really took me back, even if they didn't remember that it was Bad Religion on there as well as The Offspring. I think that was the first time I ever heard Bad Religion, and they're probably my favorite band.

In the Off-World Interceptor Extreme cutscene is that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister from HBO Game of Thrones) at 1hour 27minutes in?

Agreed.

Panzer Dragoon, all the Capcom fighters, Virtua Fighter 1 and 2, Virtua Cop, Guardian frickin' Heroes, Radiant Silvergun... I even played Discworld 1 on it. The Saturn was my last console until very late in the PS2 cycle, and it served me well. Luckily Sega has finally started remaking some of that stuff. The XBLA port of Guardian Heroes is pretty cool, for instance.

Like an Atari 2600 game, it just takes some imagination to enjoy. Just picture Jeff hunched over a PC playing The Old Republic to the level cap through the whole holiday break, with Vince Guaraldi's "Christmas Time is Here" playing over it. Laugh and/or cry to you heart's content!

Subtitles are the only way you could localize Panzer Dragoon because all the voice work is in a made-up fantasy language.

As someone fairly ignorant of the Sega Saturn catalog in general, this stream made it look only slightly better than the Sega CD. This was obviously unintentional, and there were obviously Saturn games worth playing, but I feel like the only Saturn game they played that can be considered any kind of good is Panzer Dragoon II.

So I ask: What were the actual great Saturn games that came out in the US? I understand that the console is an importing gold mine, but I'm having trouble figuring out what the standout titles were domestically.
