I hate these kind of thread titles. PSN meaning PS3, PS4, Vita?
Is the Saturn version any good? I'm curious why that version was only released in North America.
I've never played the PlayStation version so I can't compare but I seem to recall a topic on GameFAQs discussing it and most seemed to agree that the Saturn version was a bit superior because of how it handled 2D games better than the PlayStation. After checking out some videos of both I can't tell a difference, personally.
I found the game talked about on Hardcoregaming101 and there's a quote about it:
"The PS1 release was an inferior port of the Saturn version, so most people didn't get to play Herc's as we intended."
It's on down the page or just find the word Herc's to get to it quicker.
Oh, and the game came out in North American on the PlayStation.
Yes, it did. I believe sixteen-bit was referring to the Saturn version, and the fact that it wasn't released outside of North America.
oh is it? I have a copy.Oh wow. That's a pretty rare and expensive game

Yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry if unclear.
This is relevant to my interest. You'll find it in the encyclopedia under "under-appreciated gem".
Holy shit, I loved the demo for this game on one of the PlayStation Jampacks but never got around to buying it. Will rectify that this week!
Nothing, they look identical as far as I can tell. The Playstation version even has better looking FMVs.The PlayStation game seemed pretty competent at the time, but that quote ("most people didn't get to play Herc's as we intended") implies that there were major differences. I'm curious what was compromised on PlayStation.
