Sega Saturn Derby Stallion Edition

   The Sega Saturn came out without much attention during its time.  I was a big Sega fan while I was growing up.  I had the Master System and Genesis consoles while others have the NES and SNES.  I remember being at Kay-Bee Toys around Christmas time one year and saw the Sega Saturn box on the shelf.  I was surprised Sega had another console out as I haven't heard that it was coming out.  I was still on the Genesis and the Sega CD at that point.  Back then, its usually TV commercials, magazines or word of mouth from friends that you get your information from.  I don't remember hearing anything from any of those sources.  Although the Saturn didn't do well in the US, it did better in Japan.  It does have a cult following and is growing now that retro gaming is popular and we start to appreciate the console more and more.  For the import version of the console, there were around 7 or 8 different versions of the console.  One of the rare ones was the Derby Stallion Edition.  This thing looks awesome with the translucent green design.  There's one other translucent design for the Saturn and that's the "This is Cool" console.  That one is a translucent gray.  I love these see through designs on consoles and hand helds.  I got this one off Ebay a couple years ago.  It's in pristine condition with the box, manual and stickers.  I don't remember exactly but I think I sold off my Neo Geo AES to get this.
