You'd think after doing GAB for like 12 years I'd know that 5 / 6 = 0.83, but even though I do know the answer I'm never confident enough in it to not use a calculator.

Games for this topic:

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Super S: Various Emotion
Bust-A-Move 3
Crimewave
Sankyo Fever: Jikki Simulation S Vol 3
Shinobi Legions
Vandal Hearts

A few games we've seen before on other platforms, but I'm looking forward to trying out Crimewave and Shinobi Legions.

If there had to be a topic where no one else played the imports, I'm not sad it was this one.

Games for this topic:

Delta Force: Urban Warfare
Disney's 101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure
GT Senshuken Max Rev
King of Fighters 98
Pinball Fantasies Deluxe
Sensible Soccer

I probably mentioned this when we covered the SNES version, but I have some fondness for Pinball Fantasies, as it was one of my first gameboy games, so I'll be interested to see what they did with the PS1 version.

Virtual On: Cyber Troopers - GGGGGGAG - 94% (8)
Zoop - AAB - 33% (3)

Well, it took 79 topics, but we've finally found the last game on the Saturn ratings list, it's Zoop. There are no games that come after it alphabetically that can take its place at the bottom of the low ratings list. It also currently occupies this spot on the PS1 list, but there are still games that come after it alphabetically left for PS1 that could take its place.

Games for this topic:

BattleSport
Dead or Alive
Dodonpachi
Panzer Dragoon 2 Zwei
Trash It
Voice Fantasia S

It's a topic for big sequels this time, though I'm also looking forward to trying out the original Dead or Alive. Even Voice Fantasia seems like kind of an interesting game.

Rival Schools - GGGGGAG - 93% (7) (1 SR)
Wonder 3 - AGA - 67% (3)

The ratings between the two topics last week were oddly similar, with many games getting the same or very comparable scores. The battle between Rival Schools and Virtual On was interesting to see.

Games for this topic:

Ayrton Senna Kart Duel Special
Blockids
Lagnacure
Odo Odo Oddity
Soul of the Samurai
Ultimate 8 Ball

This is an eclectic topic, but it looks like an interesting one. If you've been noticing that there's more Japanese RPGs lately, it's because I recently went back through the list of JRPGs for PS1 and added some more that I hadn't allowed the first time, as with the improvements in automatic translation it's getting easier to play them.
