Should I track down Panzer Dragoon Saga or stick with my Saturn emulator?

[NoahNG]

I can't decide if I should finally track down a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Saturn, or if I should just stick with my emulator setup. The price is so steep now, but I remember renting it as a kid and that disc change felt like magic.

That one title, Panzer Dragoon Saga, has crept up in price more than anything else I chased retro wise. I remember the ritual of picking up the case, swapping discs, and feeling like I unlocked a secret door - now it is a bucket of cash.

I rented it as a kid and that disc swap felt magical, like the game itself was bending to your hands.

Is the real problem the nostalgia, or am I chasing a moment I can not recapture?

I stuck to the emulator for a while; it runs, but the magic isn't the same. I tweaked a CRT shader and used save states, and still felt the distance.

Lately I wandered into a dusty used store aisle and scanned Saturn titles, and the vibe reminded me the magic was as much the moment as the disc. Still, I keep circling back to whether chasing that moment is worth missing other games I could actually enjoy today.
