You can keep 'Graphics King' games - I prefer to buy 'Gameplay King' games - and no, I dont just buy Nintendo games.

'Auf Wiedesen Pet' on BBC Micro - not sure if that rancid piece of software could even be called a game. Same applies also for craptastic arcade game on laser disc Dragons Lair - that or Mega CD 'Night Trap'.

Looking back in retrospect at the software catalogue for Saturn & PS1, I reckon there are now more good 'retro' games (ones that really stand the test of time) on the Saturn. Obviously this is mostly because of the huge amount of 2D games that were created for it (after all Saturns '3D' was way to complex to program compared to its poweful 2D, and only a few games really pushed the machine polygonally - VF2, Last Bronx & Sega Rally are among the few.

Timeless 'retro'2D Saturn games that stand the test of time include:

Guardian Heroes, Dalkstalkers, Vampire Hunter,The many Capcom V's games, Street Fighter Alpha's & SFII Collection, Capcom Arcade Collection Vo.1-4, Gradius Collection, Layer section,

Samurai shodown collection, Metal Slug & King of Fighters Series -the Saturn versions were the definitive 32bit console versions as not many could afford those 16bit Neo-Geo cartprices.

IMO these '2D' games have aged much better and are now much more playable than many polygonal '3D' games of that era, andSaturn had morehigher qualityversions than the PS1.

What do you think?

PS2 shifts more polys than DC and its GPU is faster - hence it is more 'powerful' when programmed properly. Consider this, these improved tech specs didn't automatically make its games look or play any better than any other format, most games that were out on launch were abysmal, Fantavision was one of the highlights for god sake! - but like always its down to the Developers/Programmers to show what power is under the hood and by mid 2003 PS2 games were graphically much better. Again, not sure what Shenmue 1/2 would have turned out like on PS2? no real game similar enough to Judge...suppose PS2 Yakuza is a vaguely similar style of game by the same company on theoretically 'superior hardware' - but in comparison terms IMO it can't compete presentation wise. That tech info about the GD Rom capacity @ approx 1GB is correct, miss the CUBE & DC's zippy load times - have to install games these days to get anything like those speeds, DVD drives & BluRay are still to slow.
