Well I said yes, and even in 2016 it's still a great game. Plus the arcade games are great (it was the first time I'd ever played Space Harrier, believe it or not). Honestly I might just start the game again fresh just to experience it again, and I very very rarely replay story driven games.

Both games for £70.00, I foolishly sold my old copies years ago to help my brother raise a bit of money. Completed the first and only got half way through on the second.
Cant wait to experience again from scratch. By today's standards this once revolutionary game does look outdated, no doubt about it.
On the other hand I still believe it has the power to immerse gamers into the experience.
Sega may have been naive & arrogant in it's conjuration, yet it's awesome they invested so much into a game that to this day feels as if it was for the benefit of the players.
It makes me wonder why Sega went ahead with the sequel. Sega essentially produced an iconic series, at the detriment to their own financial health.
Guess the risk taking element was one of the few bold tactics to sway consumers away from the lurking shadow of the Playstation 2.
That's not a terrible price for both games. Hell Shenmue 2 usually goes for almost that by itself (because America only got it on the Xbox).
Also the budget that's usually thrown around was really for both games, since they were developed in tandem. Originally the story of 1 and 2 was going to be on the first game on the Saturn, if you can believe that (which might be why you play a Saturn at home, now that I think about it). So I think they were already knee deep in development for 2 when the first game came out and the DC was dying.
