Retro and current gen gaming chat, with Trev and Stu, its the Console Shockcast! This week, Trev and Stu try to leap (in a quantum way) into the minds of Sega's decision-makers during the Saturn era.



We try to work out what we could have done differently to change the fate of the 32-bit machine, and give it a fighting chance against the mighty PlayStation!
