Even though only DC game I've really played is Sonic Adventure, the best Sonic game.
That or Sonic 3 + Sonic & Knuckles -combo

*coughcoughSonicAdventure2waswaybettercoughcough*  ;)

EDIT: Also, to everyone who voted Saturn, please make a case for it. Tell me the best games on that console, because my Saturn is literally the most unused console I own. (Less than my Jaguar. Seriously.) It's actually the only console I haven't deemed worthy to stay hooked up to my TV.
Not hooked up to your TV?!!!  And you call yourself a Sonic fan?  You can't play 3D blast in 32-bit.  Hook it up dude!!!!!

Haha, I've played through 3D Blast (Genesis and Saturn version, Saturn obviously being way better), Sonic Jam and Sonic R. 3D Blast is easily my least favorite Sonic game (I mean, of the Sonic games released BEFORE Sega cut off their console division. 90% of the games after Sonic Adventure DX is a disgrace to Sonic's good name. Also, Knuckles Chaotix. But let's not talk about that.), so I don't feel the need to go back and play it over again. I've done it twice, and that's one time too many for me. Same goes for Sonic R. As for Sonic Jam... I think it makes a better collector's item than an actual game. It's a gussied up compilation game. If I want to play the originals with more "up-to-date" hardware, I'll just play Sonic's Genesis Collection for PS3 and play them in HD. Don't get me wrong, I love the games for what they are. But I don't love them enough to play through them again, and I have 14 other consoles that I would much rather keep hooked up to my TV besides the Saturn.

But, thanks for that list of games. The only one I have on that list besides the Sonics is Bug!. How is the Saturn port of Rayman? Any improvements? I still don't own a copy of that for any console. I was planning on getting the PS1 version.

IMO the only Saturn titles worth keeping the console hooked up for are the exclusives like clockwork knight, daytona, nights into dreams, 2d fighting games like mvc (ps versions are rubbish by comparison) and if you've got deep pockets there are some amazing shooters like radiant silvergun (man I want that game!)

You're exactly right. There are fantastic shooters on the JP-Saturn and a shitload as well. Rdnt Svgn or the Pachi games or Batsugun or etc....

Woah. You're literally the first person I've ever known to say that. Big and Amy ruined it for me. Also, the final boss fight was way easier than the SA2 final boss.

Awesome, I had no idea. I'm a total sucker for shooters. Those aren't Japan-only, are they?

Daaaaaaamn! I figured as much.  :-\ Oh well. I've been hooked on Ikaruga for quite a long time, and I don't think that passion is ever going away. ;)

Yeah, I agree. Sadly I don't own any of the games worth owning for the Saturn :( it's hooked up though because I have the space :P maybe eventually I'll get those games.

Actually a US citizen, but the US playstation id's look like crap :(

I haven't played the second one that much, but so far first was better.
I might change my mind after finishing the second.

And most of them are very pricy!

I voted for Dreamcast. It was a close call between Mega Drive and Dreamcast. But I remember the first time I played Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast and that just blew me away. Plus I was always a Nintendo fanboy and I bought my Mega Drive just 10 years ago, AFTER I bought my Dreamcast :D

Try the Saturn version, just small differences like at the end of a level on ps1 the screen fades to black, on saturn the screen shapes into a ball and bounces around.
