As unremarkable as that might sound, Burning Rangers was a major technical milestone for the Saturn, both in terms of its state-of-the-art visuals and its robust soundtrack and sound effects.

Though it didn't offer up too much challenge and there were an abundance of glitches to deal with, the core gameplay loop proved thoroughly engaging and a welcome divergence from typical shooter romps.

Like Panzer Dragoon Saga, it's never found its way off the Saturn, and as a result copies can go for literally hundreds of pounds on eBay.
