Holy sh!t I am now the proud owner of a Sega Saturn. The top door is broken but this sucker WORKS and thats the important thing. I found inside a well worn but playable copy of Christmas NiGHTS sampler. Pinch me Im goddamn dreaming here. Dear God I forgot how fun the original was and Im going to buy an analog controller and the game now. BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER

[CronoMST]

Nice! Good luck with the analog controller. I still have to use the d-pad, myself. Also, don't forget to put in a fresh battery!

[Innotech]

yeah I discovered the battery thing already.,
I cannot BELIEVE this console had a actual copy of Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams just sitting in it. This is like the holy grail 2 in one and I got it all for $40. Christmas niGHTS is so badass. I only ever got to see the original game.
PINCH ME I AM DREAMING!!!!!!!!!

[Nemoide]

Hooray! The Sega Saturn has some great games.
I recommend investing in an "Action Replay 4 in 1 Plus" cartridge. It is good for keeping backups and also lets you play import games. For some reason I think importing Saturn games is more fun than importing games from other countries and this can be a good hobby!

[Innotech]

also, the graphics held up far better than I expected. It looks very good even now. Its obviously old tech and similar to Need for Speed 2 level of graphics, but for 1997, that was fantastic. This is just a joyous day/night for me. Absolute Dream come true. In quite the literal sense.

[Saifer Dracondrali]

cripe, I still need one... so... ya plan on parting with it anytime soon?
*smacked upside head*

COOL - got mine a while ago now but the saturn is awesome!! Got House of the dead for it a few weeks ago which is pretty good! I also recommend virtual on and panzer dragoon.

[TRiPPY]

Enjoyyyyy! In the 12 years I've had mines it's only been repaired once, it's a sturdy reliable beast it is.

[Diogothedreamer]

Your very lucky to get such an incredible gift for your birthday buddy and Im sure you will get the full game once you experience that demo a few more times.

My saturn never gave me any problems too which is fantastic considering I had it for over a decade. In contrast I had to swap my dreamcast's laser and pwer supply once but it's all worth it.

I want to play christmas NiGHTS so badly, but I have NEVER seen it...

[DAiLiGHT]

Where'd ya get it? I WANT IT. But none of the game stores anywhere close to me sell systems older than the Gamecube, and even then half of them are like, "er.... I think we're out of those......"

[Rhapsody]

Awesome! I got a Sega Saturn and the original NiGHTS only after bribing my mom - I told her that if I passed my math exam, she would have to buy me the Saturn/NiGHTS. one month later (december 07) I got my wish! Only it doesn't save my scores because the battery is dead. I'm afraid to change the batteries, because it says on the back "WARNING. SYSTEM MAY EXPLODE IF BATTERIES ARE INCORRECTLY SET." My dad wants to change the batteries, but I say we should get it done by a professional. He won't let me pay fifteen dollars to get it changed.

Anyways, ignore me and my ranting on about batteries. Happy birthday and enjoy your Christmas NiGHTS!

dont worry too much about the battery. I opened the back panel and it appears to be a simple watch type battery (a bit bigger). Should be pretty easy to replace. I have to get mine replaced also.

well if you search Ebay there are usually some. In my case a friend of mine called me up and told me she had gotten a used Saturn into the small store she worked at. Around that time my trucks intake manifold went bad and $537 later I wasnt able to buy the Saturn. Luckily one of my friends who knew I had wanted one discovered that exact system at the shop and bought it for me. It was purely coincidental that it contained Christmas niGHTS. I really didnt bleieve it at first, that such a sought after demo was just sitting in the disc slot. Needless to say I was ecstatic and squeed quite loudly. IT was a spectacle.

Go to Yard Sales to find one. One block sale I went to around a year or two ago had a SEGA Saturn in at least three different garage sales.

[Pikmingirl]

Omg, I must look for one, I wish I can easly get it from Ebay but I can't buy things on the internet. Q~Q My parents don't trust the siiiiiiiiiiiiiiites. =(

[TRiPPY]

Get Guardian Heroes! Awesome game : D

[viperxmns]

Guardian Heroes yeah! I can vouch for that! It's like Streets of Rage but with monsters and swords! I seen it really expensive on eBay though, like how Saga is..

[ayamemaiden]

A game I highly recommend; ASTAL.
OMAIGAWD. I love it. ;_;

[Musashi_HUmar]

Congrats! You should probably replace the save battery with a new one.

[Coolmatt49]

I recommend getting NiGHTS into Dreams, I heard it was a pretty good game.

[Innotech]

I found out from my brother that the Ebay guy was legit, so the NID + analog controller is on its way!
Not long now until I can finally play this game like it was meant to be played.
Im probably going to replace the battery on Monday in preparation for the game.

by the way, my brithday is actually in May but this particular gift just couldnt wait My friends HAD to give it to me right away. They are really great, even appointed me the godfather of their child. Im grateful for my family, friends, Sega, NiGHTS, and you guys in this community. Yall rock.

[Innotech]

ITS IN!!! I got the call tonight from my mother the package arrived at her home. Going to pick up the game of my dreams tomorrow. After 11 some odd years I will finally be reunited with the game that started all of this. Holy sh!t Im excited!

Wow. Just...wow. Ill see you guys in a few days.
I have some niGHTS to play
