Since it's the 30th anniversary of the Sega Saturn this week, I was looking up articles from back in the day.

First up this feature from Sega Pro 30 - April 1994 (UK)

This brings back memories of when my dad decided he was going to get me a console as a gift so he took my cousins to the game rental store and they played the 3do, jaguar and Sega CD side by side to evaluate which one was the best. They concluded the 3do had the most fun games so that's what I ended up with. Worth it for star control 2 with voices. And return fire was very fun as well.

While I do have a Jaguar (bought one about 17 years ago just to play Tempest 2000), and I have a Sega CD, although with very few games.
I never even seen a 3DO in real life.
I'm not even sure if they were ever sold in Belgium actually, as I never came across one in second hand shops either here.

Only ever got to play a NeoGeo AES one time in a random little shop back in the day.
Played Last Resort and I wanted one ever since.
Had to wait another decade for that to happen though.
