Does the original version of Soukyugurentai play on a white Saturn without any issues?
Yes.

Soukyugurentai was the reason I modded my Saturn. When I used the ST Key, I always got this grid on my screen when I played. Really messed things up. Modding it cleared all that up. Unfortunately all the english text turned to Jap text.

It is a bit better than Layer Section, but not by a whole lot. I think it's looks kinda give it the upper hand. Both are great games.

Yeah, and everyone knows what a heartless hard-nose I am.
Actually, I don't think I've been here long enough to know that XD

Never been able to get my hands on a copy, saddly. :(

Anyone know if there was a Stateside port? :|

I recall that the Playstation version did get a USA release as Terra Diver. I don't believe the Saturn one came out over here, and no clue on the ST-V version.

Nope, none of Souky's console ports ever left Japan, though I think its original arcade version appeared overseas.

I saw only the PSX version and it looked nowhere near as good as RayForce.

If Terra Driver's not a 'Souky' US port, then WHAT THE HELL IS IT?! :?

It's the name Soukyuugurentai was given when it got an arcade release in North America. No console port was ever released under that name.

Okay, that makes sense, though I never saw a Terra Driver cab in ANY arcade I went to. :(
What a shame.

Thanks for clearing that up :D
