@Zenszulu Ok here's why I said what I said and this has 0 to do with faqs and the internet. Back in the 90's when malls actually existed there was Lynhaven mall in VA Beach, there was a store in there with a Japanese Saturn with an 8 meg cart being used and lo and behold there was symphony in all it's glory.. They even had another Saturn next to it playing samurai showdown 3. Above the symphony unit was a sign that said coming to playstation and then next to the unit was a gaming mag that had an article all about it.. Talk about a brilliant display.. So that's why memory may be a bit different..
The one thing that tees me off is when people get history wrong. Symphony was on the Saturn first in Japan. Then ported to the PS1. The reason was fan outcry was Soo big that Konami did it. But they had to submit it to Sony 1st because Sony was very paranoid about the performance of a PS1 on side scrolling titles. So what Konami did in a feat of technical genius was instead of using sprites, the game used flat polygons with the sprite images overlaid on top. Once Sony saw the awesome job Konami did, they approved the game. That's why the Saturn version is the best.. Because of it's unique hardware it had no trouble juggling sprites and polygons simultaneously.
