   Hi,   
      
   I'm rediscovering my Saturn, importing a lot of game and enjoying some   
   of them.   
   My preferences is going to 2D games for the gameplay, from the Genesis   
   to the Saturn.   
   Before that it is too old for me, I got a Master System but I could not   
   play it and enjoy it so much today (except Alex Kidd and other platfrom   
   games).   
   As you can see I'm a Segafan.   
   New games are beginning with the PS2 in my point of view.   
      
   As you said some games looks better with 'old' graphics than shiny new 3D.   
   I have a personnal exemple, I played a lot of time on tremulous (a free   
   Online FPS), graphics are not so good but the game itself is very enjoyable.   
      
   Best regards
