My friend had one, it was a fine machine which seem to process hand animated graphics very well. It didn't have as much 3D acceleration guts as the PS which was a lack of vision from SEGA that perhaps cost them the battle. Like most consoles particulary of those earlier generatations it wasn't necessarily better or worse than a PS as far as the end user is concerned, the PS just scored better overll titles.
Knights, Gunstar Heroes, Virtual On and SF2 Alpha were all presented wonderfully on the Saturn and are the games I remember most fondly of that generation.
The Dreamcast... well that's an even sadder story... that was a gem of a machine. Oh well.
