I finally got a batch of NA games shipped to myself in Saudi. I was slowly accumulating them at a drop shipping site, and had them all sent out to myself recently.
(empty label is Astal)
I focused on purchasing the more expensive games first, and I made sure to get everything below Pricecharting prices, not taking anything unless I got a good deal for it. I remember when Panzer Saga was selling for $1400 CIB, but I got one for MUCH lower than that -- half price, almost -- or about 20% lower than most of the recent purchases. Mercifully, the most expensive purchases are done now, and I probably won't be buying any more Saturn games for a while, unless I stumble across some in the wild at a decent price.
Most of the manuals for the games are pretty bare bones, black and white, low quality, but the Working Designs manuals are incredible. They even have some "Translator's notes" at the end of the manuals, which gives some insight into the translation process and other tweaks and changes they made to the games, including performance, control, animations, and gameplay. They're hella charming, and extremely personable:
(If you're going to read anything, read at least the first and last paragraph)
(The description for Calrdina = lmao)
Can't wait to start playing these. I'll probably start with Panzer Dragoon I and II, then maybe switch it up with Astal or Three Dirty Dwarves. But the one I'm most looking forward to playing is Deep Fear. It's such an unknown for me compared to the other games.
