yeah i agree it's a bit odd. they upped the contrast and saturation on some textures as well, which is an artistic choice someone made, but i think this didn't turn out as nice as they imagined!

i think i prefer the music in the first game, but love both of them. The original Panzer Dragoon is the game that made me choose to buy a Saturn over the Playstation back in 1995!

good idea:) i can definitely do that on the retrofreak console.

i don't know if the US version has a different soundtrack, both of these are japanese releases.

i have seen that this game is available on mulitiple formats so there must be something to it for F1 fans?

hey - i have no idea if you can get this as a download (i don't download roms i only use stuff i have paid for). However If you can download it i imagine someone has maybe put it on archive.org - ?

@@retrospiritsgaiden2643 I have seen another video which has the patch of English. I didn’t own any of it but only download the Japanese one and tried to play patch it with English, but it didn’t work for me yet.

@@CubeHsiao sorry i can't help :( it's a pretty nice game.

@@retrospiritsgaiden2643 It’s okay! And thanks for your help anyway. It’s a very pretty game with pretty character’s! I used to play it in my childhood, but can never beat it for the reason of time(You have spend more time on your study and your parents…….In Taiwan………..)

yeah but i liked it! would always stick a coin in this one, as i remember it, it was a fairly easy arcade game so got plenty of playtime for 10p!

@@retrospiritsgaiden2643 well if you liked it that is obviously more important😀.

@@MrDirkles I'm all me me me.😄

it is a bit of a random old game! :)

tallies with my experience with this game, ignored in the arcade, love this version!

haha - yeah i had heard this game is a bit dull and double hard, although i remember lots of favourable reviews in magazines. I suppose playing as a dolphin is a novelty though and that's why people loved it back in the day?

@@retrospiritsgaiden2643 People were much more easily pleased then. My friend loved Ecco the dolphin and repeatedly phoned into work sick so he could stay at home and play it and before you ask, no he didn't get sick pay.

The ps2 graphics look good for the sandy level

@@ConnorlUvz some of the environments on the Ps2 have extra details which is a nice thing to have

that is handy!

the first Layer Section is pretty damned special.

haha thanks:) got some more coming that are at least 10% more rambley and incoherent!

Haha! they are so powerful it takes a Neo Geo to run Weezer!

agreed! nice game:)

all true:)

i quite like the music in this version TBH

@retrospiritsgaiden2643 the music is fine its the voice and sound that's horrible

@@damin9913 yeah those samples suck!

@@retrospiritsgaiden2643 the remastered edition fixed all that

from memory, that transparency technique cause issues with polygons and/or sprites behind the transparency getting clipped (it only works over background layers) so i think that would've been bad for gameplay purposes

some retro compilation have horrendous control lag - the Namco collection's Galaga is pretty much unplayable when docked.

the games felt OK to be honest. X multiply i actually found easier than the Saturn version (maybe region or dip switch related though) it didn't feel laggy to me, but i think i have a very high tolerance for lag (i find it difficult to notice unless its really bad). The arcade version of Image fight i find difficult and this one is no different but i don't think it was lag that got me, more a skill issue:)

@@retrospiritsgaiden2643 Glad to hear, thanks

apparently there will be 5 volumes of this at £20 + a pop. If it were a company other than Irem i wouldn't bother, and it took me a while to decide to get this one. All the games they are releasing could easily fit on one cart. I'm definitely a sucker for this stuff.

free stuff doesn't happen so much these days, but my main go to importers here in the UK were videogameimports.com and Genkivideogames.com - both are still going. I'm not sure which one of these sent me GO! GO!, but i have had a copy of Saturn Vitual On from each of them!

@@retrospiritsgaiden2643 I have used both of those importers!👌🏻I used to have some nice chats on the phone with a nice chap at videogameimports, think his name was Lee. Used that place a lot back in the day🤘🏻

yeah thats right, it is Lee at VGI, over the years i've bought a lot of stuff from there (most of my super famicom games come from that store). These days i buy a lot of switch stuff from Genki:)

@@retrospiritsgaiden2643 Cool. I’ve bought tons of stuff off VGI, mainly Saturn. Genki is cool, too. I’m getting my Japanese Switch Radiant Silvergun off them soon.

agreed!

True!

No more agree, and so underrated. It's on my top 5 on of the most interesting console ever.

i've seen that version on youtube, it looks a pretty decent game unfortunately i never owned a Jag (if i did i would've bought raiden for it!). IDK how accurate the Jag version is to the coin op, but it still looks like fun time.

I didn't like the game, I have no idea if it's well regarded or not (i'd never played it before this device) - sounds like you like it though? thats cool. theres loads of games i like that others don't and thats fine, it's just opinion not fact. what do you like about it?

@@retrospiritsgaiden2643 The exploration and the fun jumping and various other things.

ahh groovy. i like exploration in games too. It's been so long since i played Legend of Kage to remember the set up of the game. i may give it another go if theres exploring to do:)

haha!

i think this would've blown minds back in the day for sure

awesome! thanks!

The dither pattern on Playstation games is very visible on emulation, like you say on CRT not so much. i've always played my Saturn through RGB scart so i'm pretty used to seeing the net effect transparency even on CRT.

Actually that's only true if you use composite cables. Unlike Japan and US, both PS1 and Saturn back then came with RGB scart cables in Europe and Australia mainly to avoid standard mess (PAL/SECAM) that's why most people didn't see the blended dither pattern on the Saturn on their TVs back then.

@@MNaka-uf9yz yep this is true. the dither pattern i'm talking about on Psone is some weird shading thing i think, you see it most visibly in 2D games (but still visible in 3d) as a diamond-ish shaped pattern on any flat colours its very odd, but the Dreamcast also has it in a couple of games (Last Blade 2 for example) i'm guessing any connection up to s-video blends it all away. The transparency dither on Saturn was still noticeable with standard RF cables from hazy memory of 1995 playing Panzer Dragoon, it had an unusually clean RF signal compared to the previous gen stuff.

@@retrospiritsgaiden2643 I used the Saturn with an S-Video cable back when it was released and could clearly see the fake transparencies. I think it was more so composite and RF that the effect was more hidden.

@@Megageoe the fake transparencies don't really bother me if used on small things/sparingly, but on this game they go full screen with them...it's not pretty once you see it - you're always looking out for them :(

agree!

yeah its a pretty decent conversion and not a bad game - thanks for the kind words :)

That rings a bell for me, i think it's got something to do with the Deku tree, or the Owl turns up at several points through the story to bother you with it's nonsense...get a proper job Owl!

haha yeah totally! :)

i've haven't completed every Zelda game, but i think i've played most of them and actually i enjoy them quite a lot. there are a few outliers though - this one i found dull, Tears of the Kingdom i got bored with the building / fighting things aspect (after a fair few hours mind) and Majora's mask i just couldn't get on with the repetition. Theres many Zelda games i've been completed more than once, so i think i'm a bit of a sucker for them!

agreed!
