Looking For Sega Saturn Parts

Yeah, I was hoping so too :( I have extra Saturns, and it would be nice to mod and sell them. I'm pretty sure the mod would bump the value nicely.

What does the DC mod do?  The DC can do pretty much everything without a mod chip, so it seems sorta pointless to have a chip for one :/


I might be able to fix that Saturn for ya. Might just be loose solder points, and if not, I've got extra boards that I could just swap out. Lemme know if you're interested and we can talk turkey.

Didn't even notice that LOL!

Anyway, Panzer Dragoon Saga is the king of RPGs on the Saturn. Dragon Force is awesome, but more of a Strategy game with a lot of RPG mixed in. Shining Force 3, Shining Wisdom, & Albert Odyssey are all solid too.

here's a comprehensive list of US-released RPGs:

Albert Odyssey
Blazing Heroes (also released first as Mystaria, it's the same game)
Dark Savior
Dragon Force
The Legend of Oasis
Magic Knight Rayearth
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Shining Force III
Shining the Holy Ark
Shining Wisdom
Virtual Hydlide

all of those are excellent, except for Virtual Hydlide, which is pretty much unplayable.  Blazing Heroes/Mystaria is tolerable, but nothing super special.  

the US version of Shining Force III is actually SFIII: Scenario 1.  the other two scenarios were released in japan, and i THINK both of them have been translation-patched, but i could be wrong.  I know Scenario 2 got finished.  but, really, as far as translation patches go, that's about all that's available for the poor saturn.

as for good Japanese RPGs (you can find translation guides on GameFAQs, typically), these are some of my personal favorites in terms of presentation/ease of understanding:
Tengai Makyou IV: The Apocalypse
Princess Crown (predecessor to Odin Sphere/Muramasa, great title)
Shiroki Majo: Eiyuu Densetsu (Legend of Heroes 3)
Wachenroder
Arcana Strikes
Grandia
Black/Matrix
Devicereign
Madou Monogatari
Terra Phantastica

the saturn is an excellent system full of amazing titles.  it's also hella expensive to collect for, so if you're planning on acquiring some of the best games quickly, be prepared.  i used to collect for the saturn, and when i finally gave up on it and sold my collection, i made a pretty penny, but i don't think i'll ever get to the level that i was at ever again.  *sigh*

Oasis is way more adventure than RPG though. I love it, but it's about 95% Zelda, and 5% RPG.
