The launch of the SEGA Saturn has gone down in gaming history as one of biggest missteps the industry has ever seen. SEGA’s lack of promotion and short sighted hardware specification meant that the the Saturn was doomed failure even as it hit the shelves. As Sony’s Playstation changed the gaming industry with state of the art 3D visuals, SEGA’s 2D powerhouse was left looking like a system that was a generation behind.

Despite it’s short comings it has gone on to be a much loved system of the retro gaming community thanks to a large library of Japanese exclusive titles.
