System specs
Saturn was my fav all time - but I did state that it was only because I imported all my games - the Japanese version of games were FAR SUPERIOR to the US counterparts. They never released the 4 meg RAM cart in the US like they did in Japan. This added an additional 4 MegabYtes of RAM to the system giving it far more memory than any other console out at the time. That's why it was the only system able to faithfully replicate many of the arcade games out back then. I imported 2-3 games a week and ended up on a first name basis with the UPS delivery guy. My roommate, after seeing the games I was getting, quickly jumped on the bandwagon and started ordering imports too so it was almost everyday that we got a new Japanese Saturn game. Were it not for the JP games then the Saturn would be near the bottom of my console list. I can only think of a few great US games - Guardian Heroes, Shining *everything*, Panzer Dragoon I, II, and Saga, Virtua Fighter 2, and Nights into Dreams.
