History
The Saturn
was the first competitor to the Jag and came out at around the same time
as the Playstation. Technically there was little to distinguish the three
consoles other than that the Sega and Playstation were CD Rom rather than
the cartridge consoles which gave them a bit of an advantage over the
Jag, who's cart size was the same as the SNES. After the Jags demise,
the Saturn was the only competition to the Playstation and despite a brief
and impressive struggle lost out to that horrible Sony machine, mainly
due to its being difficult to program (apparently). Despite this some
great games were released for it including Virtua Fighter 2, still arguably
the best 3D beat em up of its generation.
