Edge's Saturn Collectors Guide
Genki has always held Edge magazine in high esteem. Recently we may have lost touch a little, but its scoring system was always direct and accurate whilst others may have rode on the game's wave of hype and possible freebies. Credit was also due for making full use of the scoring system rather than just the top 30%. Covering the score up of a big release was essential to avoid any disappointment before even reading the review. A bit like watching Match of the Day without knowing the scores. The thrill of the Goldeneye N64 review, the perfect Mario 64 ten and amongst the cutting reviews came some fine guides to systems now out of circulation. The Edge Saturn Collectors Guide was a real bible and we have taken the liberty of identifying such titles on the site. Dodonpachi, Dracula X, Dungeons & Dragons, Guardian Heroes, Kingdom Grandprix, Metal Slug, Radiant Silvergun, Sengoku Blade, Strikers 1945 II, Thunderforce V... To name just a few that may or may not be in stock on the site. God bless the Saturn's tricky-to-programme-in-3D architecture for some sizzling 2D gameplay. Happy days.
