Saroo is a HD Loader (Flash Cart) for the Sega Saturn. While its been in development since 2013, over the past 2 years it's seen some significant updates and is now available to purchase. Due to the open-source nature of the device it's by far the cheapest Sega Saturn Flash Cart (roughly between $55-$100 on AliExpress) on the market today and it is also the fastest in terms of performance - with most games loading in mere seconds. The price and performance are indeed incredible, but the Saroo is not perfect. It has its issues - and how is the compatibility? We discuss all this and more in today's episode.

It has been a long time since I last played it. I remember it being very boring and taking a quick look at a gameplay video of it on Youtube confirms this. The level design isn't anything really exciting and it seems the majority of the levels are just empty. Like there is hardly any enemies, so you're just going through the level with no real challenge or danger. I have played Metal Head a long time ago. I don't remember much about the gameplay but the graphics are pretty decent for the 32X.

While this might not have been considered a must have system seller I think the Jaguar should have had Hard/Race Drivin'. I'm not too familiar with the Jaguar hardware. Would it be possible to have a nearly arcade perfect port of Hard/Race Drivin' and Stun Runner? The Jaguar/3DO/32X seemed to have decent hardware for the time. I'd be really interested in seeing what each of the systems were really capable of when maxed out with proper programming.

Maybe an action RPG? I had Gemini make box art for a Sega Genesis game called "Tender Fox." Not too bad :olol:

I mean, I'd play it...
like ECCO, but with a fox instead of a dolphin.
