Quality Sega Saturn Game list *update*
Scott H
No really, use the link, it's much easier to find stuff. But I've provided
the list below as well. Specifically, I'm interested to see if there are
any games in the "rest of the Saturn list" section that were notable and
should be in the main list, or if there are games in the main list that
shouldn't be there. This list is intended to be the end-all quality title
list for the Saturn, including imports. Please help me make it accurate.
Thanks,
Scott H
