I think it was a very good year for games. Sony Playstation was starting to rule but Sega and Nintendo would not go down without a fight... well one of them did...




That is Ice Cube. Unfortunately for Sega most gamers headed the opposite direction from Saturn...







Dragonforce has become a cult favorite. I wish i had it in my Saturn collection.




Saturn was actually a success in Japan, I think their biggest and only success in their home country




I think this game was actually pretty good. I dont remember seeing it on Sega or Playstation.




The start of the franchise.




What retrogaming looked like in 1996. Much like retrogaming in 2016! And these games were like all of 10 years old or so. I own this one, very worth it. Also on DOS CD-ROM.




SNES was a surprisingly longlived system. Capcom Marvel games were great in the arcade, not sure about this, the Saturn ones were great but I think they had to be imported.




But the future was here with N64! Great system, I never owned one though i even have a Gamecube. This is taken from this Toys R Us catalog which includes all systems, including GameBoy Pocket and also Tamagotchi! Aka the pet you could kill with its own poop.
