Was a very under appreciated console. And like the saturn ahead of its time.
Saturn was a dogs dinner - Originally designed to compete with the likes of the CD32, CDi and 3DO it was to be the ultimate 2D console with 3D capabilities in line with 3DO.
Then Playstation came out and Sega shat bricks. The resulting refit was rushed and made the system an absolute swine to program for. Worse, it was released only a year after the release of the x32 Megadrive/Genesis add on, which in turn was released not that long after the MegaCD drive.
By the time Dreamcast came out, despite it's brilliance, Sega had irritated it's customer and developer bases that much that it was all over but the singing.
The Saturn was a lot of things, ahead of it's time wasn't one of them.
