Saturn version. PC version is principly my primary experience with the game. Not to say I didn't enjoy those, (they were no Genesis version by any means), but I have friends who sing nothing but praise to those stages, and every day I grow more curious.

They are fantastic. I could possibly try to record some videos of them at some point when I actually have all the equipment handy and I can be arsed.

EDIT: Or I could try with emulating again. Haven't bothered with Saturn emu in a while. Hm...

I had a friend that got a Saturn one Christmas. She also got Sonic 3D Blast, which I really didn't think was too great. But as soon as we hit those special stages, holy shit they were the coolest thing that I had seen in a Sonic game. Then I see the PC version in a bargin bin, and think "Eh, why not." Get to the special stage, and the first thought that pops into my mind was the equivalent of "what the fuck is this shit." Bastards.

I don't think that Saturn emus have improved in quality or in terms of what games they can play. Just a handful of titles that're actually playable, and everything else either being glitched to all hell or just flat out doesn't run. Shame.

Just out of curiosity, who was it that made the Saturn stages?

Last time I tried <i>Sonic 3D</i> in SSF, it ran pefectly, down to the special stages. Should be fine.

From Mobygames:

Special Stage Development
Game Designers (SOJ): Takashi Iizuka, Daisuke Mori
Programmers (SOJ): Tetsu Katano, Yasuhiro Takahashi, Atsutomo Nakagawa, Kazuhiko Hattori
Artists (SOJ): Kazuyuki Hoshino, Yuji Uekawa, Nobuhiko Honda, Shinichi Higashi, You Nishiyama, Sachiko Kawamura


So the only good part of S3DB (besides the music) was made in Japan after all. I bet that did a LOT to resolve the SegaSonic conspiracy theories... :roll:
