Saturn Netlink Modem - 28k can still work even today











JerryTerrifying Info :



The only thing you need to Netlink is a Saturn, the modem (netlink cart), copy of a compatible game and an analog phone line and of course a buddy with the exact same set up. When you have the Netlink inserted the game will go to the netlink menu and you set up games from there. You do not need an ISP as it does NOT connect to the internet. The modem dials the second players modem and established a direct connection between the two saturns. That's why you can play Virftual On and Duke Nukem 3D with no lag on a 28.8kbps modem.



You each need a copy of a Netlink compatible game. There are only five of them.



Duke Nukem 3D

Saturn Bomberman

Virtual On Netlink Edition

Sega Rally Netlink Edition

Dayton USA CCE Netlink Edition ( which I believe is the rarest North American Saturn game )



When you start a game it launches the netlink menu. One player dials the other. Enter the number like you're calling that person. So if they're in your area code it would just be XXX XXXX but if they're outside your area code it would be 1 XXX XXX XXXX I think. I've never actually made the out call as I don't have unlimited long distance.



* You do NOT need a service provider. The Netlink does NOT connect to the internet. You need an analog phone line and that's it.



Watch a great video by Jerry in video section, he explains it all.
