SEGA SATURN IN THE MODERN MEDIA, A VERY OCCASIONAL SERIES
Apparently, there’s a new game around called Alpha Protocol. It’s technically “by” SEGA, as in it’ll be SEGA sending it out to the shops, then SEGA that processes all the returns nine months later, then SEGA that admits it wasn’t a particularly good idea in an interview in Edge magazine 18 months later and that it’s also refocusing efforts on the latest micro-trend instead.
But anyway. There’s a SEGA Saturn in it.
Play, which is where we find out about games nowadays due to having pretty much totally “lapsed,” says Alpha Protocol is subtitled “The Espionage RPG” which is about the least-thrilling description imaginable. Apart from, perhaps, “Squad-based Espionage Management RPG”.

Can you play anything on it?
If there’s a chance of playing Burning Rangers or Panzer Dragoon it might be worth picking up…Though in the unlikely event that it’s not just a static prop, like they have at Ikea, I’d suspect that blokey’d just have Die Hard Arcade or summat like that. Or just to nark people off at the wasted opportunity it’d be something like Revolution X

Oh God, I had that game.
As if anyone would want to save Aerosmith from terrorists. They can keep ’em.

Looks just like my living room, except I’ve still got the Dreamcast hooked up too. Who needs HD games and Blu-Ray films when you’ve got blue skies and arcade style gameplay?

God I can hardly fucking see it. You know I think I’m going to need bifocals soon. Yeah. Or my screen. The screen must have the contrast too high. You know what puzzles me is how if you LOWER contrast colours separate more. I know this next bit might be hard to believe, possibly considering the insight in one of the prior sentences, but I also dropped out of art when we I was supposed to do that at uni. I don’t think formal art education has any meaning whatsoever. I mean we have working cameras to provide illustration. It’s like learning sums, when obviously you can use a calculator now.
