These items landed on my desk today. A Saturn, ready for SHMUP ACTION and a copy of Samurai Aces, new, sealed and CIB.
Also got Halo 2 steelbook and Capcom vs SNK Millenium to fill the packet.

Get yourself Soukyugurentai. Not too expensive but still one of the saturns best. Not sure of the price of these but Salamander Collection, Batsugun, Silhouette Mirage, Thunderforce V, Battle Garegga, Layer Section/Galactic Attack, Darius Gaiden, Metal Black, anything Parodius, Game Tengoku.
If you really want to go bananas there's always the awesome version of Hyperduel on the saturn and Radiant Silvergun.
If you want to go all out and get the absolute daddy of saturn games and the one that no collection is complete without then you really must get Cho Aniki.

Exactly! The game is so amazing that it brings a smile to the face of anyone that plays it. Radiant Silvergun is widely regarded as the best shmup on the saturn by people that don't know games while the shmup experts will tell you that cho aniki is by far and away the bst thing on the system.

It works with the 4 MB Ram cart so it's missing none or at least very little animation frames and it pretty much arcade perfect. The PS1 port is good for the console but there's loads of frames of animation dropped and it runs at 30 frames per second unlike the saturn port that belts along at 60 frames per second. Also the PS1 uses polygons instead of sprite hit boxes to save memory and some experts find the hit boxes a little off because of this.

Get yourself a japanese PSN account because it's a treasure trove of shoot'em up goodness.

TBH if I can support deserving developers, I will. PS1 games are the equivalent of a fiver on Japanese PSN, so it's not really breaking the bank and hey I like to support these things.
Also, as a Mac user my emulation capabilities are limited - I'll emulate what I can't get my hands on officially, but it's a pain in the arse. I got my joystick working on MAME after a good few hours work and was delighted. One software update later and back to square one

I completely understand the support aspect. Things like Child of Eden need to be bought in their droves.
However with older games I dunno... the collector in me sees that as another fiver that could have gone towards the original release 0 -

Ah, if only physical copies were nice and affordable
There's a collector in me, but I can't always justify 100 euro to play a game when I can play it for a fiver or tenner!0 -
