Sega Saturn Games Retro Review – Elevator Action, Virtua Cop, and More

I'm Kinglink and last month I joined Retroachievements as an official developer, which means I can make achievement sets for pretty much whatever I want and there's minimal oversight. It's a great freedom for the developer and makes me feel like I'm part of a larger team or group, and that means I can try to develop interesting achievement sets.

But that's not the end, it opens up a lot of doors, and one of those doors is the ability to participate in what's known as DevJams. DevJams are a way to focus on a single system, especially systems that never had an official launch on the site, and try to work together to develop as many achievement sets for those games.

As this video comes out it's the Sega Saturn's turn, and honestly… I don't have much to say about the Saturn, well I can say one thing, I think I've only ever seen one or two Sega Saturns if that and I'm definitely sure I've never seen one actually set up or running. That's not super surprising, the console never sold well, like two million units in America. And the fifth generation was dominated by the PlayStation and even after that the N64 was everywhere, so I'm not surprised.

But I don't want this to be a discussion of the Sega Saturn, a console I've really never seen, this is more a discussion of the games, and I have two amazing titles to talk about, there are technically three games in this video though.
