Have you worked on a Sega Saturn homebrew game or translation patch in the last year or so? Then by all means, enter it into the SegaXtreme Homebrew Competition! It's a celebration of the Saturn's enduring community:

It lives, it works, it’s time for some good old fashioned SEGA Rally Championship!

One thing I really love about this game are the save points. I get overwhelmed with these visual novels after just a few minutes. Not unlike real interactions. And the game frequently gives you an out from your social obligations. So considerate
And when it does, it has these unique, charming illustrations and a really beautiful pixel art UI:

One Sega Saturn listed as ”not working” purchased. Let’s see what I need to do to get it working.

I think 2025 will be the year I finally buy a SEGA Saturn.

The Saturn homebrew scene has been busy over the summer! A visual novel, a 3D platformer, a port of Flashback, a normal mapping demo — find out what these talented developers have been up to in my story:

It plays most #SegaSaturn #games great!

Install #Rocknix on it!

I feel like #videoGames in the 5th console generation (#playstation, #segaSaturn, #n64) lost something that we had in the 3rd and 4th generations and not just 2D pixel art graphics. #Game developers were so busy trying to squeeze a playable single player polygon experience out of the underpowered hardware that they barely even tried to put two players on the screen at once. That's probably for the best considering what a hard time they had with 3D cameras.

Approves Saturn Emulator Yaba Sanshiro
— @retrorgb

“Finally, Yaba Sanshiro was released in the Apple App Store!” Miyamoto said on social media on Aug. 3. “You can play SEGA Saturn games on your iPhone or iPad or Mac. This version only includes basic features to facilitate approval. If there is demand, we will continue to expand it.”

Cotton 2 is hands-down one of my favorite side scrolling shooters . The graphics are dazzling and I love the magic tricks you can pull off, especially when you time trap and throw tactics - you can dominate like a boss ! I was lucky to pick this copy up with the original spine and large calendar cards which, by themselves, are gorgeous IMO. #retrogaming #SegaSaturn #Sega

Hey everyone. This is my #introduction post.

I'm a middle-aged guy on a quest to relive (and even experience for the first time) some #retrogaming gems of decades past.

ATM I'm collecting and gaming for the #NeoGeo MVS and #SegaSaturn systems, but I'll add other systems on my journey.

I do plan on streaming eventually, but right now I'm still working on getting a gaming space put together.

If you're interested in some pics and commentary on the games I collect, please follow!

Comics about anthropomorphic #Sega consoles you say

For those that recognize this crazy family from Japanese Gaming Mags of yesteryear, did you know that there were some #manga collections and even a #Dreamcast guide released as well
