'''ST-V''' ('''Sega Titan Video''') is an arcade system board released by [[Sega]] in 1995. Departing from their usual process of building custom arcade hardware, Sega's ST-V is essentially identical to the [[Sega Saturn]] home console system. The only difference is the media; ST-V used ROM-cartridges instead of CD-ROMs to store games. Being derived from the Saturn hardware, the ST-V was presumably named after the moon Titan, a satellite of Saturn.

The majority of ST-V titles were released only in Japan, but a notable exception was the port of ''Dynamite Deka'', which became ''[[Die Hard Arcade]]''. Games released for the ST-V include the arcade versions of ''[[Virtua Fighter Remix]]'', ''[[Radiant Silvergun]]'', ''[[Golden Axe: The Duel]]'', and ''[[Final Fight Revenge]]''. The shared hardware between Saturn and ST-V allowed for very "pure" ports for the Saturn console.

ST-V (Sega Titan Video) is an arcade system board released by Sega, in 1994 for Japan and 1995 worldwide. Departing from their usual process of building custom arcade hardware, Sega's ST-V is essentially identical to the Sega Saturn home console system. The only difference is the media; ST-V used ROM cartridges instead of CD-ROM discs to store games, with the exception of Sports Fishing 2. Being derived from the Saturn hardware, the ST-V was presumably named after the moon Titan, a satellite of Saturn.

The majority of ST-V titles were released only in Japan, but a notable exception was the port of Dynamite Deka, which became Die Hard Arcade. Games released for the ST-V include the arcade versions of Virtua Fighter Remix, Radiant Silvergun, Golden Axe: The Duel, and Final Fight Revenge. The shared hardware between Saturn and ST-V allowed for very "pure" ports for the Saturn console.
