Sega Saturn With LCD Screen, GPS, Karaoke?

Posted by simoniker on Monday June 23, 2003 @06:03PM from the enticing-but-not-that-enticing dept.

Thanks to InsertCredit for pointing to a feature on the NFG Games site discussing the HiSaturn Navi, a rare and bizarre Japanese incarnation of the Sega Saturn from 1995, which included an add-on LCD screen, a car adaptor, GPS navigation software, karaoke compatibility, and lots more. The unit even has some strange car safety features courtesy of a sensor attached to the handbrake cable - "Game playing was prohibited while the car was in motion - without the handbrake sensor installed and the handbrake applied the screen would shut off after a game started to load." Still, at $2000 (with screen) when launched, and $1200 even now for second-hand models, it's only a toy for the truly insane Sega fan.

Nonsense, any type of insane person could probably enjoy this.

  I thought all sega fans were insane? (before anyone rips my head off, I love sega, and don't make any claims at sanity, either.)

There's maybe 7-8 RPGs, I think all of them are OK: Panzer dragoon saga which costs $150+, albert odyssey, magic knight rayearth, shining force, shining wisdom, dragon force, shining the holy ark, couple of others.
