I tried google, but it failed me. Does anyone know what games work with the Saturn's mouse? I just got a box load of Saturn stuff (including 2 systems!) and it came with a Japanese mouse and Command and Conquer. I thought this would be awesome, playing C&C on the TV with a mouse, but it seems it doesn't work with it. So, what does?
On internet searching, it looks like Virtua Cop 2, Myst, and Simcity 2000 all work with it. If there isn't anything more compelling I may just sell the thing.
I think just the netlink. Warcraft 2 was rumored to support it but I doubt it. There is one for sale locally.

I have a much more detailed list, but I'm at work currently, will dig it out when I get home.
It also works with Sakura Wars.
I never would have guessed that so many games use the mouse.
Theres loads more but I have a horrible feeling the big list of ones I actually tested is on my old PC in my parents loft :(
That's my list, as is clear if you click the link. I only got to Hexen, I just was so bored by that point going through the lists and sites that I didn't continue... it has been quite a while, I really should do the rest. I don't think anyone else has done a complete list in the interim...Quote:

I believe the same thing's true on the Playstation, and the SNES... all three systems' mice were supported by many more games in Japan than the West. Maybe it's because PC gaming was less successful there than it was here?
So Duke Nukem 3D supports both a keyboard in one port and a mouse in the other at the same time? I don't have a keyboard but I have tried with just my saturn mouse and it did not work for looking around. Can someone confirm or better yet make a youtube video?Quote:
