   I wonder how Sega finally managed to get true 3D transparency going on   
   the Saturn. I know 2D transparency was not only possible, but showed up   
   in quite a few games...3D, though, seems like it was always just   
   dithered bullshit.

   I don't know, I'm hesitant to try it...I hear it both ways: That one   
   could play it without knowing Japanese, and that you're totally screwed   
   if you can't hear the lady screaming orders at you. I hate playing games   
   through FAQs...
