"The #SEGA Saturn cant do transparencies" Yes it can! Kinda! Saturn has 2 chips - VDP1 (sprites, polygons) and VDP2 (backgrounds, transparencies). Devs had to use VDP2 in clever ways for that effect. Thats why some games use both mesh and transparencies at the same time!

The #SEGA Saturn was the target platform for the original Tomb Raider. The game primarily used VDP1 to render the graphics of the game, so it was only using 1/2 of the Saturn's capabilities. I wonder how much better it would have ran/looked with VDP2's help!

I really love the water effects in #TombRaider for the #SEGA Saturn! Also the Saturn version also has refractive water surfaces! I think the PS1 version lacked that effect. The Saturn graphical capabilities is so fascinating!

I'll forever love the aesthetics of 2D sprites in low polygon 32bit/64bit 3D worlds of the 5th generation of consoles! There is something so charming about them. #SEGA Saturn #Playstation #Nintendo64

I love the visuals of #SEGA Saturn's JPN exclusive Ninpen Manmaru! You're a ninja penguin in training and you gotta get through increasingly challenging platforming levels. 3D platformers are rare for the Saturn! This is a joy to play!

When I heard Daytona USA was coming to the Sega Saturn, I sold all my other consoles and saved up for it. Finally got the Saturn and Daytona running at home—total mind-blow 🤯. Sure, it wasn’t quite arcade-perfect, but just being able to play it at home was enough. By the time Dreamcast came around, the port was almost flawless. Fun fact: Saturn was almost done as a 2D machine, but after seeing PlayStation’s 3D power, Sega tweaked it late—3D performance ended up a bit lacking. Irony is, the same Sega that pioneered 3D with Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighter thought consoles weren’t ready yet.

Back in the 1990s, Korea was geographically close to Japan, so cheap second-hand game consoles and games were often illegally imported from there. Because of this, consoles like the Hyundai Comboy and Samsung Game Boy series were officially released in Korea, but they were expensive, so they didn’t sell particularly well. Still, up through the 16-bit era, Korean systems used the Japanese regional code, which meant Japanese games could be played on officially released Korean consoles. That compatibility helped sales to some extent. The Samsung Saturn, however, was a different story. Samsung chose to use the American regional code instead, which meant Japanese Saturn games would not work on the system. From Samsung’s perspective, this decision was meant to prevent people from using illegally imported Japanese games. But in the end, it backfired. Not many games were officially released for the Korean market, and users also couldn’t play the huge library of Japanese games. People who bought the Samsung Saturn without knowing this often ended up disappointed because there simply weren’t enough games to play. The Samsung Saturn had a rather sad story behind it.

Introducing Tapkit Tapkit is a Mac app that lets your agents use your iPhone. Tell it to do anything and it can use your phone to do it. We've been iterating on Tapkit over the last few months with our earliest users and finally feel like it's ready for general use. Today it is easy to use, supports any agent, and can even use multiple iPhones at the same time. There are so many great things that we can do with this new primitive, but I didn't want to wait any longer to share it with you. Try it now:

AFTER BURNER II (Sega, 1987) 🎧🔊 When this music starts to blast, you better learn to glue on terrain and use the afterburners! Because you're close to landing and they can't let you do so. A fantastic experience with possibly the most brutal sense of speed on a videogame, in a loud moving cabinet back then. Also highly playable on emulation with analog control support. So advanced that it only got matching versions on home systems for Sega 32X and Sega Ages compilation on Saturn, many years later.

Perry Saturn sat down with Chris Van Vliet and finally put the Moppy era in context. That whole “fell in love with a mop” thing wasn’t some random comedy idea. Saturn says it was punishment for the Mike Bell incident. “Pat Patterson thought I should marry a plunger, so that’s what he pitched, and somehow the plunger got turned into the mop. And the whole idea was I did that because I got hit in the head, which is what happened with Mike Bell, and this was my punishment. And I can prove it was a punishment because they never gave me any direction.” Vince wanted him to promise it would never happen again. Saturn wouldn’t lie. “Vince told me, ‘Okay, Perry, you have to tell me right now that you’re never going to do that again.’ I go, ‘Vince, I didn’t do it on purpose this time, so I can’t tell you that because I didn’t mean to do it.’” Paul Heyman had to sell it to him because they figured he’d quit. “I go, ‘Paul E, I’m not going to do that. I’m going to look like a f*cking idiot.’ He goes, ‘Perry, you have no choice.’” Saturn still owns it. He says he was wrong that night. No excuses. Perry Saturn #InsightWithCVV

** SEGA GENESIS / MEGADRIVE Software Scaling + Rotation *** Sega Megadrive can't scale backgrounds and rotate sprites in software at the same time ?? - hold my beer !! After Scaling I've been tinkering with Rotating sprites in software and I think it looks pretty sweet ! In the video 4 * 32x32 sprites are rotated through 64 steps at 30 FPS in software, it could be 60 FPS and more rotating objects if we were not doing the scaling at the same time but even blast processing has its limits ;-) Rotation at 30 FPS is far smoother than you typcially see in even in pre-rendered rotations anyhow ( a 64 frame 32x32 rotation is 32kb - not small ). Challenges were make it fast : very fast as this needs to work at pixel level, not double pixel like scaling. The megadrives packed pixel format (2 pixels per byte) makes that a little bit tricky . When I started the algorithm was 3x slower than now. Make it sensible : has to be usable in game , had to present a rom size reduction over pre-rendered animation. Make it flexible : so we can rotate frames in the background using up idle cycles (end of frame) and store those frames to vram for very heavy cpu scenes, so we can still have very smooth rotation with very heavy cpu demands still. Thanks to my team Carsten666 for the GFX and CYBERDEOUS - Crouzet Laurent for the marvelous tune. #SegaGenesis #SegaMegadrive #SGDK
