RE: Dreamcast? (Was Re: [MLUG] Expo presentation)

Holy Christ, someone remembers the Saturn!  I almost bought a used Saturn
from Slacker's the other day...  I still might.  Has anyone ever played
Virtual ON: Cyber Troopers on the Saturn?  It's SOOOO amazing...  There
are quite a few other Saturn games (Virtua Fighter, Virtua Cop to name a
few) that are unrivaled except by later Sega games.  I love Sega...
