RAGE BUCKS
Earn "RAGE BUCKS" with every software purchase between 9 September, 1996
and 31 December, 1996.
RAGE BUCKS are simple to earn and track. You earn ONE RAGE BUCK for each
piece of software you purchase from the rage between 9 September, 1996
and
31 December, 1996. Some titles will be marked DOUBLE RAGE BUCKS, meaning
you would earn TWO RAGE BUCKS for that particular title.
A RAGE BUCK is equivalent to $1 credit towards any software purchase at
the
rage. You can elect to use your RAGE BUCKS at any time, or save up for a
big score at the end of the year! (You cannot, however, use a RAGE BUCK
on
the same purchase that you just earned the RAGE BUCK from.)
There is no need to sign-up or pay any fee. All software purchases from
9
September, 1996 thru 31 December, 1996 are automatically eligible.
If you have any additional questions, please email us.

I've never seen or heard of this "Portable Saturn" system ever! When did it
come out? Please leave more details for all to learn.
Thanks,

I **** think **** this is this car navigation system that runs on the
Saturn that I saw awhile back in some Japanese magazine. Maybe it runs
Saturn games too? I dunno.....
James Arguello
Yeah. Its a small Saturn which you attach an LCD display to your Saturn
and play games on a car, or plane, etc. Just think SFA2 on the road! This
is COOL! But pricey.

The Hitachi MMP-1000NV Saturn model is the Saturn fanatic's dream machine.
The unit can be used in the home and connected to your television like a
regular Saturn or taken with you in a car for play on those long trips in
the back seat. Imagine getting through a round of Fighting Vipers as
scenery of woody outdoors or as masses of New Yorkers pass you by. Why
look out the window when you can look at a Saturn video game? When going
on a trip, the Hitachi Saturn can be outfitted with an active matrix LCD
screen for bright colors and excellent resolution.
The Hitachi can also be used as a GPS tracker for your car trips.
Software is included for the main provinces in Japan while more detailed
territory discs can be purchased separately from Navisoft for the
different areas such as Hokkaido or Chubu in Japan that you might be
travelling to. Of course, this function is moot here in the States but
since the Hitachi is portable and you might go to Japan one day, its a
little something extra that you get when you purchase the Hi-Saturn.
The other parts of the Hi Saturn that are included are a video-CD decoder
which will allow you to run MPEG-1 movies on the Saturn, a Photo-CD card
which will let you view picture discs on your Saturn, a TV tuner so that
you can watch some television if you get tired of playing your two games
and a standard Saturn black controller, to match the color of the unit
itself.
National Console Support has the Portable Saturn for a retail price of
$1499.
=== end ===
It's a Saturn with: TV output, MPEG-1 decoder, GPS unit, TV tuner,
and a Photo-CD decoder. Sounds pretty cool. Sounds pretty darn
expensive.
I find it interesting that Sega has allowed Hitachi to make it.

well, sega did allow JVC to make a JVC version of the Sega CD... so it's not
entirely unheard of. I think it had some minor enhancements over the sega version.

I've only seen one picture of this system. It was in an ad for Hitachi
technologies (covering other technologies as well; HDTV, PC, etc.) that
was in September's Scientific American (I think.) It was really obscure.
It didn't mention the Saturn much. I hadn't heard about it before then.
It looked very much like a Saturn with a little LCD screen that flips up
from the top. (I could be remembering it wrong.... I haven't looked at it
in awhile. But it definitely was a portable Saturn.)
Does anyone have any more info on this? Is it coming out in America?

I know The Rage is importing it also, I'm not sure about GameX or
anywhere else. But for $1400 I think I'm going to wait till next year to
buy it. Hopefully it'll drop below $1000 or maybe even $500 (God I wish)
