Panzer Dragoon Saga is the third game in the Panzer Dragoon series. Rather then being an action shooting game like the first two, this one is a huge 4 CD RPG! It's an awesome game, though if you prefer action games to RPG you'll probably prefer the first two Panzer games. Last I checked it was also very hard to get ahold of because it was released after most stores had stopped even carrying the Sega Saturn game console. I think you might be able to order it directly from Sega's website at www.sega.com. Or try a more video game oriented store like Electronics Botique or Funcoland. Ask them to special order it if they don't have it in stock. I got my copy by going down to special order it and they happened to have a copy in a drawer that someone else had never picked up.

Dragon forms - captured with Snappy!

First off, there's 8 different dragon forms in Panzer Dragoon Saga. In each form, except the 1st and 7th, you can dynamically morph the dragon towards one of 4 strengths, Agility or Spirituality, and Attack or Defense. Increasing Attack decreases defense, while increasing agility decreases spirituality. You can have 0 to 200 in each ability, and for every combination of abilities your dragon looks different, so I couldn't capture every possible form. What I did capture is the dragon with maximums in each of the 4 abilities (ie dragon with 200 agility and 100 attack/defense), plus one capture of the dragon's balanced state, with approx 100 for each ability. So there are 5 captures for each form, plus 2 or 3 captures of the dragon in various game environments. I captured forms 2 through 7. That's a lot of captures! I did them with Snappy because I didn't have the digital video capture at the time.

Short cuts of the dragon flying through various game areas. At the end an example of dynamically morphing the dragon towards one of 4 different strengths is shown. The dragon shown is the dragon's "true form" (kind of a secret to getting it - this dragon form is the same form they used in the original Panzer Dragoon, I believe) and most of the areas shown are advanced stages, so don't view this if you don't want to see what happens later in the game.
