The kids had no idea how any of these machines worked. The gaming industry was entering its awkward teenage years and it was going to be a glorious, pimply mess.

To that complexity, add a much steeper learning curve, greater emphasis on integrated software development tools, and the various challenges in using technology that was both cutting-edge and inadequate. This is especially true in Gen-5, as home videogame hardware designs became immensely complex and complicated, featuring multiple specialized processors and experimental designs that varied greatly from one platform to the next. They might as well be run by little animals who live inside the casing and make wisecracks like The Flintstones. One of the great unspoken truths is that the average person has no idea how computers work. The system was almost immediately dismissed as second-rate by consumers and the gaming press, and once that reputation had settled, it was impossible to shake. Now the second meaning is more profound: Nobody Knows What’s Inside the Box. This is especially true when it comes to SEGA Saturn, the Generation Five console cruelly smothered with a toxic reputation for poor performance and inferior technology compared to Sony and Nintendo. They are not interested in technology, but what that technology can do for them. They only care about playing great videogames. They don’t care about technical specs or hardware designs. People don’t buy computers and videogame hardware just to admire the box. First, Software is King, Queen and the Jack of Hearts. It is absolutely everything in this business, the alpha and omega, the beginning and world without end, amen. There are two meanings in that statement. I’m paraphrasing a little, but the quote went something like this: “A games console is nothing more than a box you need to play Mario.” That may be the greatest and most profound statement ever said about videogames.
When writing these articles, I am constantly reminded of a famous phrase once spoken by Hiroshi Yamauchi, the former god-emperor of Nintendo. This episode will include many of the most popular games in the Saturn library – the ones that most gamers think of whenever they remember SEGA’s fifth-generation console – but will also showcase a number of third-party and import titles that you may have missed the first time around. Once again, we will be taking a look at a variety of titles that were released in North America, Europe and Japan that demonstrate the console’s under-appreciated powers.
