Panzer Dragoon was ported to Windows and PlayStation 2, and was followed by Panzer Dragoon II Zwei (1996) and Panzer Dragoon Saga (1998) for Saturn and Panzer Dragoon Orta (2002) for Xbox, which includes the original Panzer Dragoon as a bonus feature. In particular, its art direction and post-apocalyptic universe gained acclaim. Electronic Gaming Monthly named it game of the month and the best Saturn game of the year, and named it the 140th-best game of all time in 2006. Panzer Dragoon received positive reviews in 1995 and in retrospective coverage. It was also the directorial debut of Yukio Futatsugi, who was 25 years old at the time of release. As one of six games available at the Sega Saturn's surprise North American launch, Panzer Dragoon was the first game created by Team Andromeda.
