Blam! Machinehead (Core) (Sega Saturn (EU Version))

Delivers solid gaming nourishment, although it won't impress your mates with its flashiness or originality.

Sonic 3D (Sega) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

I'm speechless... Amazing animation, massive depth, the game idea is cool... Huge levels, and a gob-smacking marriage of speed and detail!

Fighting Vipers (Sega) (Sega Saturn (EU Version))

Stunning replays and a huge array of modes... All the features came as a great surprise, and by any valid console comparison, the graphics and sound are awesome.

Saturn Bomberman (Hudson) (Sega Saturn (EU Version))

The best version of Bomberman there has even been... The epitome of all things miniature and cute.

Actua Golf (Sega) (Sega Saturn (EU Version))

The leader in its field. Actua outdrives everything on the Saturn range.

Sega Worldwide Soccer (Sega) (Sega Saturn (EU Version))

Strength and beauty combine in the best football game you're likely to see before the end of this season.

Pinocchio (Sega) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

Another of Disney's average platform romps... The only people likely to find this appealing are junior gamers who are fond of the film.

Destruction Derby (Psygnosis) (Sega Saturn (JP Version))

An immaculate conversion might have made this a contender. But compared to other racers, it's just an also-ran.

Real Bout (SNK) (Sega Saturn (JP Version))

An unreconstructed SNK game of the old school. Defenders would argue that a lot of the features that make their way into Capcom beat-'em-ups are developed in SNK's games first.

Impact Racing (JVC) (Sega Saturn (EU Version))

A compelling mix of game genres, Impact Racing is a top notch novelty racer.

World Series Baseball II (Sega) (Sega Saturn (EU Version))

The best baseball game yet... Flawed but fun.

Three Dirty Dwarves (US Gold) (Sega Saturn (EU Version))

Three Dirty Dwarves thinks it's so funny, but there's little to smile about when you're trying to get to grips with the damn thing.

Exhumed (Sega) (Sega Saturn (EU Version))

An essential purchase. The most sophisticated and impressive Doom-style game on the Saturn this year.

Bust-A-Move 2 (Acclaim) (Sega Saturn (EU Version))

Don't be fooled by the relatively simple appearance... This is, without doubt, the most addictive and compelling puzzler the Saturn has yet seen.

Alien Trilogy (Acclaim) (Sega Saturn (US Version))

Impressive and atmospheric... the lighting effects seen here contribute to a genuinely creepy atmosphere.

Virtua Fighter Kids (Sega) (Sega Saturn (EU Version))

A reworking of Virtua Fighter 2... and the most advanced beat-'em-up the Saturn has ever seen.

Keio Flying Squadron (JVC) (Sega Saturn (EU Version))

A frantic, fun and completely bizarre platformer... Junior gamers will go for its colourful mix of game-styles and manga madness.
