There's a bunch more that aren't in that thread too. Mostly Model 2 games like House of the Dead, Rail Chase 2, and Sega Ski Super G. Check the videos tab on my channel page to see everything.

Lol. I am not sure what was I thinking. I now realize that you had your channel on your footnote the entire time. Maybe it's because I am new to forum websites, I guess. It seems that I still should have known that it was ok to post your channel on this website, if it was right there. Anyway, the game itself kind of interests me for two reasons. One is that it looks as if it could have had more of a chance in becoming a more popular game. I guess it was just not as popular because it was released late on the Dreamcast. The other reason is that it kind of reminds me of the game Blue Stinger. This is most likely due to the fact of its overall futuristic Dreamcast feel.

Ah. I stated earlier in the thread that I did not own a Saturn. I suppose if I ever buy a Saturn, then I can get this game. Until then, I will have to stick with the other rare Sega games that I was interested in earlier in this thread.  For those of you who do not know what I said earlier in the thread, I want Genesis and Dreamcast games only. Any other gaming suggestions with these two consoles would be great...

Does it matter how long the game is when I said that the hours are subjective? Even if I played it for 30 hours and completed everything in the world, I still don't believe it's worth the money, and like I said before, no game, SEGA or otherwise, is worth that price.

PDS was a cheapie, payed 100 bucks for it. Besides I think your wrong money is there to burn. For the right game, 45 record or film reel...

I was looking at old articles I wrote for The Saturn Junkyard and 4 years ago I was bitching about PDS being too expensive at $150. Now it's $300. Fuck!

I went ahead and purchased Panzer Dragoon Azel. I figure (1) it was only $28 and (2) I own a Japanese Saturn so why not.

I might play along with a PDS playthrough. Watch a cutscene, get the gist of where to go, then play Azel until I get stuck or encounter another cutscene, then return to the playthrough of PDS to catch up on whats going on.

Does PDS stand for Panzer Dragoon Saga? If it does, then I doubt I will be able to play it. Seems as if everyone wants to mention Saturn games. I guess I should just buy a Saturn.

Saturn probably has the most quality rare titles, SEGA CD probably comes in second but it's far easier to play emulated SEGA CD games.

SSF has been in development for around 10 years now, and since multi-core CPUs started becoming common in PCs, Saturn emulation is now pretty damn great.

As mentioned Saturn has a slew of 'rare' titles because it was a flop in the west but big in Japan. It meant a lot of limited production games and under-appreciated titles that fell through the cracks. It helped that it was a powerhouse at the time and got a lot of really top quality arcade ports.
