For those of us that grew up with Sega, the Saturn is a classic that is tied to our formative years. But what is it like to start playing Saturn for the first time in 2024? That's what Jason Maddison is here to talk about! Join us as we get a fresh perspective on what the Saturn can mean to a whole new audience.

In this episode, we welcome two legends of the SEGA podcast & content creation scene. First, it’s our good friend and SEGA brother from another mother, Saturn Dave - co-founder of Sega Saturn, Shiro! Joining Dave, is another close friend, it’s the founder of the Dreamcast Junkyard, the Atari Jaguar connoisseur himself, Tom Charnock. We discuss the rising popularity of the Saroo ODE on Saturn, Dan’s recent trip to Japan, show our latest pick ups, and delve into our main topic; the transition from Saturn to Dreamcast, and how we filled that SEGA-less void.

Last month we took receipt of our SegaSaturn modem kits from our buddies at Sega Saturn, SHIRO! and have spend the last few weeks creating and uploading content showing the games in action and the connection method between our Saturns. In this show, we discuss the process of receiving the kits, delve into what’s in the kits, talk through the technology behind getting Saturn online, and address some of the more commonly asked questions around the process.

On this episode, we are delighted to be joined by Mel, better known in the community of course as Sega Lord X. SEGA left the console manufacturing business 23 years ago, but what legacy have the consoles they left us with made?

On this episode we welcome Tom Charnock back to the show, and this times it's Tom's choice of topic! He very kindly requested we have some Mega CD chat, and who were we to say no?

The Dreamcast is a console that just seems to endure as the years go on, attracting new fans and exciting old ones just as much as it did back in the day. But what is it about the Dreamcast that makes its legacy live on? What makes it so appealing even today? We discuss.

Saturn Dave from SegaSaturnShiro is back again on the SEGAGuys channel and this time he's accompanied by nonother than Mr Pandamonium himself! On this episode, Dan, James, Dave and Nick discuss the Western Saturn library. Is it underrated and why is it perceived so negatively, even today?
