Sega's Saturn sure had a load of
retro games released for it from Sega themselves, Konami, Irem, Capcom
and now Taito. To be honest, Taito's retro collection is in fact one of
the best bar Sega's with titles such as Darius II and Elevator Action
Returns (released by Ving) and now both Chase H.Q. and S.C.I. (Special
Criminal Investigation).
Chase H.Q. is really showing it's age these days
(written in 2003) and looks quite poor compared to Sega's Out
Run. I never remember it looking as bad as it does now.
So, let's forget about the looks for a minute
and let me tell you that the Saturn port is arcade perfect and still
great fun to play. Fans of the original arcade or home versions (not
Master System) (-_-) will never forget that "Let's Go Mr. Driver" at the
beginning of each round.
S.C.I. still looks half decent for it's age thanks to the advanced
scaling used in that game over Chase H.Q. I couldn't help but think that
the controls were a little dodgy on the Saturn pad. I mean shooting and
driving at the same time is not as easy as it sounds.
Overall this is a good retro pack and quite a rare one at that. Well
worth a purchase for any retro freak. |
