Getting Started
Set up your Sega Saturn system as described in its instruction manual. Plug a Control Pad or 3D Control Pad (sold separately) into Control Port 1. Note that Shining Force III is for one player only. Place the Shining Force III disc label side up in the well of the CD tray and close the cover. Turn on the TV or monitor and the Sega Saturn. The Sega Saturn logo appears onscreen. If nothing appears, turn the system off and ensure it is set up correctly before turning it on again. Disc Care and Safety
Your Sega Saturn CD contains a security code that allows the disc to be read. Keep the disc clean and handle it carefully. If your Sega Saturn system has trouble reading the disc, remove it and wipe it carefully, starting from the center and moving straight out toward the edge. Quick Actions
Press A+B+C+Start at any time to quit a game in progress without saving.
