ST-V
aka
TITAN
Sega ST-V (code named Titan from one of Saturn's satellites)
was a coin-op board based on the Saturn technology. Released at the
same time of the home system, was used by Sega to develop low-cost
coin-op games that could be easily converted on the Saturn. Basically
the board had only few differences from the home model: more memory
and games on cartridges instead of cds. The board did not became very
popular also because only a few mediocre games were produced for
it.
ST-V Board. At the upper corner note the cartridge. I assume it is
Jamma-compatible but I could be wrong!
GOLDEN AXE: THE DUEL
The first game available for Titan was a beat 'em up that featured
characters from a well known Sega saga: Golden Axe. Graphically was
extremely good but is wasn't very playable...
Select players screen: there are ten different characters to choose
from.

The game was later marketed for Saturn systems and received not-so-well critics from most magazines. Later games that used this board were: Athlete Kings and Winter Heat (both well converted for the Saturn).
