I was quite surprised at the amount of games that Pioneer released on the Saturn. Could it have something to do with them being sort of partners in the days of the Mega CD? Who knows but it's nice to see Pioneer's titles on the Saturn even if they didn't develop most of them.

El hazard is unfortunately pretty slow pasted which will put most gamers off right away. The intro alone takes a good 10 minutes to go through and you can't even skip it ! In fact you can't skip any of the sections making you sit through every single part. This can be really annoying if you can read faster than the characters speak since you have to wait for them to finish all the time before you can view the next section. The game will probably appeal to fans of El hazard only since like most games licensed from an anime this isn't too hot. There are far better adventures out there on the Saturn.

This limited 1st print comes in a very nice card sleeve (shown above) complete with an art book that contains sketches and info on characters found within the game. Not only that but the actual case cover has two faces that can also be seen below.
