Check out my review of #BurningRangers on the #Sega #Saturn as part of my Top 100 Saturn games review Odyssey. This innovative action game was brilliant at the time, but doesn't look too hot today

Saturn REVIEWS: Burning Rangers

Burning Rangers is the kind of game that is difficult to dislike, even if it gives you every reason to do so. With dated 3D polygonal graph...

This is a reblog of a Saturn review you suggested years ago :)

I am hoping to repost all my Dtoid blogs to my own personal blog. It surprises me how fast I used to write new blogs. These days, I am lucky if I write one new blog a month.

Check out my review of #Astal on the #Sega #Saturn as part of my Top 100 Saturn games review Odyssey. This action-platformer looks nice, but it was a poor game to launch the Saturn instead of #Sonic

Saturn REVIEWS: Astal

As one of the earlier games on the Saturn, Astal was probably not designed with that console in mind; the fact that it escaped the trapping...

Check out my review of #Shining the Holy Ark on the #Sega #Saturn as part of my Top 100 Saturn games review Odyssey. This first-person RPG is probably Camelot Software's weakest Shining game

Other than the fact that it is part of the illustrious Shining series, and one of the few RPGs on the Saturn, I don't think that there is a...

The Advance sequel is not as good, but it was a decent attempt given the console.

It’s a horrifying experience that the West is complicit in recreating today.

Except, there may be no such masterpiece describing the horrors of Gaza in the future since the society may be fully destroyed.

I think Skyfeed is worth a try.

If anyone from the community is willing to take the feed and pay for it, I would support that as well.

Thank you for your service and keeping the community alive in some way
