Exclusive Australian Sega Saturn Pad + Later EU/US Model

Found this while going through some old boxes! Two Sega Saturn controllers; I discovered recently that the top one looks to be an Australian exclusive variant released in 1995.
Note that it has the 'American' style D pad with a matte finish, but the overall form is closer to the later style below it.

I like the matte finish, but the later model has a much nicer D-Pad and I'm more used to the smaller XYZ buttons.

"Sega Saturn is the most powerful home gaming system ever built, and takes you beyond the limits of conventional gaming. "

I found my old Sega Saturn manual at home, who else has fond memories of this awesome console?

"Long, easy left, baby!" Sega Rally 2 (1998)

"Long, easy left, baby!"
Sega Rally 2 came out in 1998 on Sega's Model 3 arcade hardware. A stunning game with some white-knuckle arcade racing.
The arcade cabinet was notable for including a hand-brake, so you could really perfect those power-slides!
