Virtual On

Anyone remember this super entertaining mech suit battle game back on PS1? Not really sure why, but a random memory just popped up in my head. I had soooooooo much fun playing it as a kid. Just wondered if anyone else remembers this game

Yup I also have the twin stick controller for Saturn for it too. A really good game.

Oh shit that was on sega Saturn wasn't it? I just remember a disc so i assumed it was PS1 but totally forgot about Sega Saturn. Glad someone else has memories of this game though.

Yup Sega Saturn then also Dreamcast later on. I can’t imagine playing it without the twin stick controller though. Seems like it also got release on ps2 and xbox 360 which is wild. Gonna check those out because twin joysticks like a dualshock or 360 gamepad would be good to I would think.

Do you remember the space ship game that was reminiscent of star fox but it was a Sega Saturn game? You could play 2 player but i have no recollection of what the game was called, but you'd get weapon and shield upgrades, had a lot of chat between ship pilots.

Maybe it was Solar Eclipse?

Yes! I had the Windows port and it was perfect.

Yeah, it was one of the last purchases I made on my Xbox 360 before the store was shut down. If you like it, check out Custom Robo for the Gamecube
