   It was a difficult game to not only play through, but review. On the   
   surface nothing really appeared to be wrong...but as soon as I picked up   
   that controller and started playing...;)

   I've not reviewed that one. Star Control is pretty hip though: It's   
   basically a one on one space flight sim/deathmatch game. You pick a race   
   to use, they send you out there against another race, you use your   
   special attacks, he uses his, someone wins, you move to the next race.   
   It's actually a lot more fun that it sounds, if for nothing else other   
   than the awesome sound effects. You will, literally, have fun just   
   sitting there hitting buttons and listening to the things they say, and   
   the sounds their ships make.   
      
   > Well, that's kind of a shame.   
      
   I agree. There are so many Saturn games that would be great to see   
   running in a higher res, and with some 3D hardware acceleration(much   
   like what ePSXe does for PS1 games).

   It's probably the least favorite of my Sega consoles, but I still love   
   it. It definitely has its issues though, from shitty PSX ports to 3rd   
   parties not even remotely getting close to the quality that even Sega   
   themselves could only squeeze out every now and then. It's a hard system   
   to root for, that's for sure...but most people who give it a bit of time   
   tend to end up really liking it.
