I've not heard much about Touge King though, I'll definitely check that one one.<br /><br />I've had Outrun for the Saturn for many years and I've heard about that 60fps mode but I could never get it to work :(<br /><br />Thanks for the info about Daytona too. I really like the CCE game but I've not played CE before. I guess that's another one to track down :)RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-47491730074023953732014-07-02T19:49:13.753+01:002014-07-02T19:49:13.753+01:00Hi Simon,

That's one of my favourite Saturn games. I think it's called Power Slave in the US.<br /><br />I don't know much about Megarace. What do you play it on? Sega CD? I see it's available for the 3DO, maybe I'll get that version :)RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-87126436697067706112011-05-11T00:58:32.978+01:002011-05-11T00:58:32.978+01:00I've got a few Japanese gems, but the majority...I've got a few Japanese gems, but the majority of the US releases are still keeping me fairly sated :D. Such a fabulous console. I too am a big Wipeout fan. With the exceptions of Mario Kart 64 & Megarace, it's really the only racing game I play. Sooner or later I want to get 2097 just to get some 2-player action going >:D.Retronickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793362605476387506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-767733588279926442011-05-10T20:47:56.522+01:002011-05-10T20:47:56.522+01:00Oh I see, I thought you mean the second Wipeout ga...Oh I see, I thought you mean the second Wipeout game wasn't released at all. I still think 2097 is the best game in the series but I've never been a huge Wipeout fan anyway! :P<br /><br />It's a real shame about the Saturn. It didn't do well here either. Every Saturn collector collects Japanese titles, that's where most of the good ones are :)RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-88551555689550785842011-05-10T20:42:56.519+01:002011-05-10T20:42:56.519+01:00Yeah, the Saturn didn't do very well over here...Yeah, the Saturn didn't do very well over here at all. There were a ton of titles that just never saw our shores and sadly, the second Wipeout was one of them. The Playstation version made it over here, but I probably won't buy it because I'm a bit of a curmudgeon over the whole 32-bit era :-\. Though if I made an exception Wipeout XL would be it.Retronickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793362605476387506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-34936137369373885422011-05-10T09:23:05.795+01:002011-05-10T09:23:05.795+01:00Well, they didn't *have* to be Saturn exclusiv...Well, they didn't *have* to be Saturn exclusives, I just thought it best not to include certain titles. I didn't consider retro titles either (ironically). The Saturn version of the great OutRun, for example, was the first arcade-perfect version.<br /><br />I get your point though. Of the non-retro titles, it was only Wipeout I didn't want to include really, just because of *how* synonymous it is with the PlayStation. I'm very surprised to hear it wasn't released in the US - it was a phenomenon over here!RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-57627927266949989662011-05-10T04:43:55.617+01:002011-05-10T04:43:55.617+01:00True.

I suppose my argument was that your list didn't explicitly state exclusives, but I do concede the point that it is a franchise synonymous with the Playstation brand. I can accept Scorcher over Cyber Speedway at least XD. All this Wipeout talk is makin' me want to watch Hackers :D,Retronickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793362605476387506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-15738720276816084452011-05-09T22:25:38.047+01:002011-05-09T22:25:38.047+01:00The first two Wipeout games were released on the S...The first two Wipeout games were released on the Saturn, yes (the second one rather belatedly though), I just meant they're synonymous with the PS1 - you think Wipeout, you think PlayStation...
