Sega Saturn Magazine collection update: COMPLETE ✅

Gaze upon the majesty of all 37 issues of the best video game magazine of all-time!

Now for a cover-to-cover read through 😃

Shoutout to collecting brother @asmackie for keeping an eye out for issues & sharing the journey 🙌

@UnpluggedRetro I can’t see Rocket Knight Adventures there. One of my favourite games on the system!

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

@MrTomFum I’d have me a Mark 3, Radiant Silvergun and the Naomi (even though I have no idea what I’d do with it 🤷‍♂️)

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

@swooper_d 30 years old, yet plays as beautifully today as it did back then. Special game, and the soundtrack is one my favourite elements! Can’t remember the last time a week went by without having it on!

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

@UnpluggedRetro Asterix is genuinely one of the best games on the system. Fantastic action platformer!

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

@UnpluggedRetro The F300 is actually a really decent stick! I bought one years ago as it got good reviews if you wanted something solid and competent without spending a fortune. Not used mine in a while but still have it somewhere!

Finally getting round to my customary read-along of Sega Saturn Magazine with the @SEGAGuys podcast after a busy couple of weeks made me late to the party!

Interesting issue this one, headlined by a port of one of PlayStation’s biggest hitters in Wipeout!

Love it! 💙

🆕️ @SEGAGuys podcast 🎙

The SEGAHolic and I journey back to 1996 and issue 5 of Sega Saturn Magazine where a host of PlayStation games are Saturn bound.
Was this the turning point in the console war?

@David_Jagneaux Nice! I'd love one of those! Works well with the AeroWings games apparently!

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

@David_Jagneaux I think Starlancer’s a really cool game. It’s unlike anything else on the system, and Dreamcast was the only console to ever get a port. Fun campaign and story too!

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

@JimmyCully Not sure why, but this one:

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

Happy Birthday @SEGA! 🥳🍾🎉

Thank you for the games, the consoles & the good times, and here’s to many more 🍻 💙

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

@AJC2424 Yeah that looks great!

Have you tried the Jurassic World Evolution games? I played the first all the way through and loved it, and my son is currently playing the third and having a great time. Highly recommended if you like a good park builder!

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

@Gaming_For_Ages Ah that’s super cool! Love it! 😃

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

@swooper_d @TheRetroMartin A gaggle of games!

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

The length of a game bares little to no relation to its quality or worth.

Half Life 2 is 15 hours.

Super Mario 64 is 12 hours.

Doom is 5 hrs.

Sega Rally is 3 minutes!

People moaning about this need to grow up 🤷‍♂️

[Breeder J @breeder_j]

$70 for a game you can beat in 18 hours is criminal

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

@PaulStubbs851 That’s a beautiful screen mate!

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

@stehoare @TheRedmenTV I did it with my boy just before the 24/25 season - fantastic experience!

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

@ResidentDante Really nice photography 👍. I enjoyed both Horizon games a lot. They’re great worlds to spend time in, and I think the moment-to-moment gameplay is excellent. I’m expecting the third game will be an early PS6 title and I’ll be there for it!

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

@TheC13233643 I’m optimistic! His Bournemouth team played the sort of high energy attacking football that’s far more Liverpool than what Slot was trying to do.
The big question mark is the step up in level - expectations, number of games, bigger players with bigger egos etc. We’ll see!

[Greg Mathews @GregMathews1]

I feel for Slot, but I think it’s the right decision.

He was dealt a really tough hand this season, but he didn’t produce enough with what he had, and the football was truly awful at times.

Forever grateful for the title, and wishing him all the best ❤️

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way.

He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.
