I just got a Sega Saturn (from Ebay), and i noticed that it had a cartridge slot, and this made me think that the Sega Saturn could play Genesis games. Can it play Genesis games?
Is Sega Saturn backwords compatible

that back cartridge slot was for the extra ram pack they was developed for the system....dont know if many (if any) games supported it though, or was it for extra memory i'm not sure but someone can correct me.
But, as stated before you can't play genesis games on it the closest thing you will get is to play sonic jam

its is a ram extention needed for alomost all of the awsome fighting games made by capcom for the system, and it will alow you to play imports as well or go online and play ppl but thats probly not an active system anymore
