I've been using Sega Saturn for about ten years and while it is not one of the most popular older video game consoles, it was one of the first to require CDs rather than game cartridges. Sega Saturn is extremely easy to use and navigate through and most of the games are easy to play and figure out. The console is smartly designed and while it is certainly not up to the standard of today's consoles, it runs pretty fast for the time period it came out of and the graphics are pretty good. Since the games are CDs on the Sega Saturn, it would be easy to scratch and break the games, but fortunately for users it is not also quite easy to download games and put them on CDs to play on the system. For this reason, the Sega Saturn has a bit of longevity for those users who have stuck by it all these years. I definitely wouldn't recommend this if you are looking for a new console, but if you are after the classic games and game play that come with Sega Saturn. You can play all types of games on Sega Saturn, including classic Sonic the Hedgehog games to all types of sporting games and beyond. The price of these is very reasonable if you can find them used, as this is definitely not that popular of a system. If you are looking for a system that is CD based and that is easy to download and play old games, the Sega Saturn is for you. However, beyond this I would probably recommend looking into a newer gaming console as this is really no match for modern gaming. All in all, the Sega Saturn is a unique system that will probably fade out further and further as the world of electronic gaming gets better and better.
