Kabillions of others if we include translation hacks.

IIRC, you manually rotate the camera.

You rotate with the shoulder buttons. Forgot to mention Legend of Oasis if you enjoy Action-RPGs.

Do you have a Pro Action Replay or region switch?

I was thinking about buying a Pro Action Replay to play the import Saturn games.

Good, pretty much all the good fighters need a 1 or 4 meg ram cart, the PAR will cover you on everything but KOF 95 and one other game that is escaping my memory.

Astal is neat little platformer with beautiful graphics and an awesome soundtrack. It has anime cut scenes and some big, detailed bosses. It's kind of short though.

And, more specifically, does anybody know if that Capcom Dungeons and Dragons Collection beat 'em up game, for the Saturn, is English friendly?

---

It's very English-friendly, IIRC, it's just very wallet-UNfriendly. Damn thing is way too expensive, but that seems to be the case with most Saturn imports for some reason.

Interesting. American Super Double Dragon was such a disappointment.

Only interesting part of that game was the punching bags and medicine balls you could knock back and forth.

I played through Return of Double Dragon today, and it was good fun. The best improvements were the fact that the hurricane kick hits multiple times so that it's actually useful, and it has a real Double Dragon last stage, instead of simply ending. Also, I forgot that the music in this game is pretty damn good. The game is not as good as some of the genre's 16 bit contemporaries. I'd rank it higher than Golden Axe or Streets of Rage 1, but nowhere near as good as Final Fight or SOR 2.

Guys I'd like some strat or srpg games for the genny/snes, what's recommended?
