Albert Odyssey: The Legend of Eldean - Part 1

It's time to check another console off the list, because I finally got my hands on a Sega Saturn. It's been a long time coming, I've always found myself fascinated by Sega's 5th generation offering. Even when it came out, something about it's look and lineup of games piqued my interest. The problem was, I was just a kid and there was absolutely no way I was ever going to be able to afford more than one console. At least I didn't think so. Being a SNES kid, I got an N64 on launch day, it was the first thing I ever bought with my own money. While it had some great games, it was also a wasteland for RPGs, which were quickly becoming my favorite genre. Believe me, when I first saw screenshots for Final Fantasy VII, I was incredibly upset I would never be able to play it. Again, so I thought. Thanks to a massive sale on top of a price drop, I was able to pick up a PlayStation in early 1997 for a surprisingly miniscule amount of money. But the Saturn still eluded me...
