(aside from taking it apart and cleaning the thing) it has been a really fun system so far. so far i only have 2 games for it which are Tomb Raider and Myst (which the saturn version SUCKS!!!) just wondering if anyone can give me advice on what games to look for???? i know i want to get clockwork knight and darius but other then that i really dont know what else is good? any advice would be great

Or just the Saturn controller 2 as it's much more comfortable to use and the shoulder buttons don't feel like they will fall off. You also should invest in a new battery for the system right away because you don't know how old the one in the system is. I can't remember the exact number but its something like the S3223 or something like that? Get an action reply cart that is either a 4 in 1 or preferably a 5 in 1. They give you a place to save games, since the Saturn has a very small hard drive on it, play Japanese games and such. If you have a 5 in 1 it will give you the 4 MB expansion which will allow you to play Japanese import fighting games like Marvel Vs. Street Fighter, Street Fighter Zero 3 and some others. Finally there are a number of American releases and Japanese releases worth checking out. What kind of games do you like? Perhaps suggestions from everyone can come out when you give a description of the genres you like.

That's actually pretty good considering that they used to go for much more in the past. If you are seriously considering being a Saturn owner, it's a must have.
