  What about the Sega Katana?  It should have a lot of what you want in a 
system.  No DVD drive, but it should have a 12X drive (which, given the usual 
console video of the PSX, is very good), which negates the problem more or 
less.
  And the Katana will undoubtedly have the best hardware as well.  It should 
perform with better performance than Model 3 arcade machines, which is 
certainly good.
 DM>  Yeah, you're right. Panzer did look good. I just forgot about it.
 DM>  I liked that fisrt racer that came out for it too. saturn rally?
  I think you mean Sega Rally, and that wasn't the first racer for the system 
(didn't it come out in 1996?).  I couldn't tell you what the first racer 
actually was, but I know SR wasn't it.

  Ah, but Samurai Shodown 64 probably won't "cheat" and keep you facing your 
opponent!
  There are plenty of original features, if you'd care to look.  Virtual On, 
for example; you have near-total freedom of movement, and it focuses more on 
projecticle combat.  Bushido Blade was basically the first fighting 
"simulator," as one blow could end the fight and the game was largely 
defensive.  That's not a little difference, that's a big one.
