Virtua Fighter Remix (1996) for Windows 95.

You know what kills me? When the Saturn launched, I was drooling over this game.

The pack-in Virtua Fighter? Absolute trash. Even the 32X version lapped it. But SEGA salvaged their pride with Virtua Fighter Remix—the one that finally showed off what Saturn was capable of.

And yet…the Windows 95 version was even better. Practically arcade perfect. Running at 480p. On DirectX 3, no less. That’s not just impressive, it’s a flex.

Saturn still had one ace: the gamepad. But here’s the kicker—on PC, you could use an analog joystick. For a mid-90s fighting game, that’s wild.

Can’t believe I missed this port entirely. Never even saw it on shelves. And now it feels like the lost Holy Grail of ‘90s PC gaming.
