If I remember right, Saturn BASIC was going to be a VERY limited system,
allowing the creation of 16-bit quality games on their 32-bit system,
using BASIC.  They just wanted to copycat the Yaroze, without being
serious about making future game designers/programmers.  They did have
one good idea, however; they were going to make it cheap, mass marketed
and sold in stores.
