Well, I enjoyed it, but it _was_ a rough year. Those _launch_ games
weren't particularly impressive, especially against the then 3-D
"powerhouse" that was the PlayStation. Having Virtua Fighter go against
the PSX's texture mapped special effects ladden Toshiden -- and VF not
even able to get it right with the clipping and graphics glitches --
and the slow down, jagged, pop-up ridden Daytona against the smooth
looking Ridge Racer was just begging for disappointment.
Of course, Sega made up for it a few months later with the Virtua
Fighter 2, Sega Rally, and Virtua Cop releases, but it was already too
little too late. :^( Sure, I loved those games and enjoyed them to
death, but it'd be difficult to say that the botched launch didn't make
me wonder about the future of my Saturn.
