Sega ST-V Arcade board games

[elbarto]

Anyone know where I can find a complete list of the games made for this arcade system?

How many games were made for it that weren't released on the Saturn?

Currently bidding on one, hopefully I'll end up with it

if you could wade through the bullshit, Chris Mullins has a system faq listing all games. He's not really accurate though.

Well, I didn't win it..

Been digging up some more info though. Is it right that there are two boards, US and Japanese, and that the carts aren't universal?

If so, I probably want a Japanese board don't I?

there's another thread in here where Rev Quixo answered a lot of q's. He knows a lot more than me, but I guess the answer is that yes, there are two boards, and you can't play Japanese games on the US board, or maybe not most. Anyhow, the US games are sucky, so I would suggest getting a japanese motherboard.

There are both boards with Japanese and US Bios in them...just like the MVS.

However unlike the MVS most games are territorially locked out from working on both boards. Going for the Japanese board is indeed your best bet, but keep in mind that the games will be in Japanese.

As far as a game list is concerned look at <a href="http://www.system16.com" target="_blank">www.system16.com</a> in the Sega Titan ST-V section. That list is farly accurate, but I think Dynamite Baseball, NBA Action, and Virtual Mahjong are nonexistant (even though they list em)

As far as what games weren't ported over to Saturn...well beyond the obscure quiz and mahjong games (and they are probably there too), I can't think of any. The STV and the Saturn are afterall basically the same hardware.

I think I need to write an FAQ or something on this.
