Radiant Silvergun?! Bah!

Shame, that . . . I’ll probably try and make good backups as well, as even though there’s a lot of fuss about packaging and “collector” stuff, it’s the magical data that really matters. :anjou_happy:

It seems pretty good all-round to me.

The only problem that I’ve had is running US NiGHTS on my Japanese Saturn, but that’s a whole other issue . . . I just hope it’s not my Saturn itself, although that wouldn’t explain how it’s played every other game I’ve thrown at it (including UK NiGHTS!) Apparently, US NiGHTS has US and Japan region codes, so will work on both “out-of-the-box”, which is interesting and I’ll need to try out . . . but I digress!

Speaking of Ikaruga, looks like it’s coming to Xbox Live Arcade. Now that’s what I like to see. =)

Holy shit.

Radiant Silvergun is a masterpiece of 2D shoot 'em ups.

I play it with the 4in1 cart on my PAL Saturn.

It’s tough as nails (I’m a FPS/RPG man, really, so not used to it)

Wikipedia explains it better than I ever could:

The design life is from 20 to 100 years depending on the quality of the discs[/quote]

That’s very upsetting. The original Panzer on the Saturn is over 10 years old now and Saga will be next year :anjou_sad:

Layer Section II is a pretty sweet Saturn shmup. Here’s a vid from youtube:

it’s got Panzer lock ons :stuck_out_tongue:

Nice! I wish Sega had brought more of these gems over for more people to enjoy. I guess they were deemed too Japanese.

Someone uploaded the Deep Fear intro as well with its sinister music.

All Saturn fans should watch it:

Too bad the English voice acting isn’t up to the same standard as the music. The story in this game was actually kind of believable. Oh yeah, and there’s not just one, but two black guys who sacrifice their lives to save the white hero! OMG how racist!

Now if only they used Yu Suzuki’s Shenmue engine for the 3D models.

I still need to hunt down a few more Saturn gems. Not many games pushed the Saturn as much as Exhumed/Power Slave, Guardian Heroes, PD Saga and Radiant Silvergun.

Reminds me a lot of Cameron’s “The Abyss”.
Wasn’t there a PC version? Or am I just imagining things, because the name Deep Fear sounds awfully familiar.

I have my PAL copy of DEEP FEAR - it’s a truly wonderful game, and quite hard in places. Well worth tracking down on Ebay.

I love RS, definately my favourite vertical shooter. It’s not over rated at all, that’s just what suckers say when they pay rediculous eBay prices for it.

I just got it off bittorent, patched it to PAL and swap trick it with my copy of International shitty Victory Goal. Same with PDS. :anjou_sigh:
