Saturn Classic Enriched:

The Sega Saturn classic game Radiant Silvergun has been given a significant fan-made update that brings its features closer to modern ports. Developed by Alex “trap15” Marshall, the patch took a year to produce and introduces elements from other versions like a Ikaruga-style chain scoring system for a more streamlined gaming experience.

Features Added:

  • Chain Scoring System: Inspired by Ikaruga's system, this feature is implemented in Xbox 360 ports and other recent releases of the game. It adds depth to gameplay with a scoring mechanism that encourages continuous enemy eliminations.

  • Special Scoring Mode: A mix of original and Ikaruga-based systems.

  • Two-Button Playstyle: Originally exclusive to the arcade version on Sega's ST-V Titan board, this mode simplifies the control scheme with only three weapons available.

Additional Enhancements:

In addition to these features, players now have the ability to access the Option+ menu immediately upon starting the game. This update makes the Saturn version of Radiant Silvergun one of the most feature-rich on the market compared to other ports, with one notable exception: it lacks the HD visuals seen in other versions.

Accessing the Patch:

The patch is available for download here, allowing fans to experience these enhancements firsthand and enjoy a more complete version of this Sega classic.


What are your thoughts on fan-made updates like this? Do you think they help in preserving classic games, or do they potentially diminish the original experience for some players?
