BuddyBuddies Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Any chance that just the Tiny Toon Adventures cartridge will be made available again? Would someone like B&C Computervision be allowed to produce more of the cartridges? I'm not really interested in the early beta versions of the other games on the CD. All I'm interested in is Tiny Toons on a cartridge. Something in the $40 to $50 range would be perfect. This will be discussed more in the coming months, but there is a good chance it will see another run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liamx2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hi all I'm new to the Jag scene Big tiny toon fan as well and want to know a few things if that's okay 1) is it still possible to get one of these packages with the tiny toon game ? 2) what Jag console will I need in the sense of Pal , Ntsc , is it even region locked at all ? Always wanted a Jag when I was little but never got around to getting it as a kid , I had my Mega drive , Snes , Saturn , ps1 back then , Still use them all to this day.

This thread is four years old. Given there were 100 released, we can safely bet there is no way to get one aside from paying hundreds/thousands at an auction.

ovalbugmann Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Try eBay, check it often for this, there has been two of these preservation packs with Tiny Toons in it sold in about the past two months. Good luck, and bid high - very high Edited February 19, 2015 by ovalbugmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogamer73 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I don't see why more cartridges can't be made. There's cartridges to Cyber Golf, Space War 2000, and other unfinished Jaguar games listed on ebay. I'd personally love to check this game out, and there's many others who would also be interested.

Atariboy2600 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Oh man if only I still have my Jaguar unit, I lost the system and all my games from a fire some years ago but Im still a Tiny Toon fan and still making fanart works: Here's some 2014 and 2015 pics I drew on vector art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willard Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) as it says in the announcement, there was an initial run of 100 but there's a possibility of a second run. intention was to leave the window open so that prices wouldn't get out of hand and so that most people who wanted the package would get it. It was in stock for like 3 months after it was made available, so it's not like there were a lot of people who missed a narrow window or pre-order and were left without. As the game is no longer lost, other releases are being worked on. People who want this will probably get another chance. I don't think it's the kind of game that newcomers to the Jag scene are probably going to want to pick up first, it's really for fans of the Jaguar who have built up a decent collection, learned a bit about the history of the system, and who were left wondering what happened to the game. there isn't much to it, and it's more of historical relevance than for playability. There is only one complete level, an unpopulated level, and some other random backdrops. I suppose it's fortunate that what exists does amount to a pretty solid demo though so that you can clearly see why one of the Jaguar's flagship games was canned.

Rick Dangerous Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) intention was to leave the window open so that prices wouldn't get out of hand and so that most people who wanted the package would get it. That window has definitely come and gone. People are scalping these on epay big-time. I wasn't around when this was released and I think I've gotten to the point in my Jag collection where I think i'd appreciate something like this for a reasonable price, and I think there is enough interest out there to warrant a second run (And Aircars KA!). I'd enjoy one level, just like I enjoyed four on phase zero or just running around the world interacting with a handful of people in BIWN. Keeping my fingers crossed you are able to do another run someday Edited February 20, 2015 by travistouchdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serblander Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 ...People are scalping these on epay big-time... ...and I think there is enough interest out there to warrant a second run (And Aircars KA!). I'd enjoy one level, just like I enjoyed four on phase zero... ...or just running around the world interacting with a handful of people in BIWN. 1) Are people scalping Tiny Toons Adventures? I haven't seen any BIN's myself - only auctions (2-3) in the last year IIRC, where they got bid up HIGH due to people getting into bidding wars. The last one i was watching (which i still have on my Watch List) is #62 of 100 and it sold for US $265.00 with 9 bids from 4 different bidders. 2) I would LOVE to get and try the KA Aircars! I missed out on that one but did pick-up Aircars '94 (some years after i sold my original Sealed ICD Aircars which i never tried) 3) That reminds me: i still need to get Phase Zero! 4) I always loved BI/WN - the concept was fantastic and if they had finished and released it back in the day (before GTA)...! Personally i only really explored Rev 19 as that was the first one i got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felyx Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Why only 100? just to make sure to make easy money with almost unplayable games protos? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willard Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Why only 100? just to make sure to make easy money with almost unplayable games protos? it would have made more money if we kept it in stock and if you re-read that was just the initial batch, we haven't released another because we don't have the immediate interest with other stuff going on and the fact that it has been released. it is easy to recover your costs when the drives you buy actually contain protos, it is expensive mistakes when they don't and we've made those too and perhaps contrary to what some people might think, they were numbered not to increase their rarity but because prior to this release sales numbers on jaguar items were practically nonexistent. that's why we initially made it clear that it would not be the only print. This was one of the first times sales were disclosed on a release that was not initially announced as limited to a specific number (like the IS1 beta / AVP beta / Extremist Packs) and the amount of time it took to sell them were disclosed.

I missed out on that one but did pick-up Aircars '94 (some years after i sold my original Sealed ICD Aircars which i never tried) Picking up ICD Aircars soon, but would love the opportunity to buy KA aircars instead. As I understand it the interface is cleaned up a bit and the explosions are more explosiony!! 3) That reminds me: i still need to get Phase Zero! Yes you should, very fun!! 4) I always loved BI/WN - the concept was fantastic and if they had finished and released it back in the day (before GTA)...!

Felyx Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 My previous post was related to facs: I don't have a single example of Jaguar item which is not object of speculation as soon as it is sold out. So far the only way to avoid that is to keep the items available otherwise everything pop up on eBay some days with mention "very rare" Some are doing it: Matthias Domin, Songbird for example are offering their games on the long term and it is possible for everyone to purchase them at sane price. This is why I asked why Preservation pack and other protos compilations are released in very few in number and time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willard Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) I agree, but the price has just recently begun to climb. For a long time they were $100-$120 tops. This is honestly the first time that people have been very vocal about demand. As travis said,even if we keep them in stock, we've all seen the B&C aircars being sold for 2-4x their value, songbird and telegames releases being scalped for more than you can buy them from the source for. We're not a business and try to take care of demand for a reasonable period of time, and hope that people can wait a little longer for the next run. Admittedly we have been a little slow. We're still announcing discoveries from years ago, have been putting off a really tedious project that's weighs on me even when I try and forget about it Our first priority is to make sure everything is released (almost there). I'm in the midst of learning to program (has kind of taken place of the Atari interests lately), just lot of different factors.

There are several people on epay trying to sell stuff Carl has for sale for 2x and 3x it's already premium price...It isn't just the Jaguar market that is inflicted with this insanity - you see exactly the same BS happening with the Intellivision, Colecovision, and other consoles. I picked up a Vectrex recently (incredible machine, BTW). There are guys auctioning homebrew carts for very high prices, when you can get a re-release from Packrat Games for $20 a pop. I've seen guys in Vectrex forums freely admit that they have bought re-release carts from Packrat, then immediately sell off their original release for hundreds. If you just want to play the game and don't do a bit of Googling, you can really get burned.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete5125 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Gameplayers from the 90's are now in their 30's to 40's with some disposable income so buying a $100 game or a couple $40 games isn't the end of the world. Going back to what has been said, Jag prices are going through the roof ever since AVGN did his youtube video, it is cool on one end to have a collection that has increased substantially in price. I got into Jag when it was originally released years ago and now could sell it and make a substantial return on investment. The problem is most of the games where Jagexclusives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Looks like a so-so game currently. Interesting, but never $100 interesting for a game with one fully working level. But I hope you Tiny Toons fans out there get a copy all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I think it's safe to say at this point that this isn't getting a re release. Strictly a scalper item, which is lucky for those who shelled out $100 for this one level demo in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Bump. There's a (sealed?) copy on eBay. The price is ridiculous, but that's the norm now with Jaguar stuff. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Atari-Jaguar-64-Bit-Beta-Preservation-Pack-92-100-brand-new-sealed-/301987674225?hash=item464fde3871:g:ZqwAAOSwubRXNvjhI'd consider the cartridge if it were a ~$40 B&C release, but as interesting and nicely produced as this preservation pack is, it's not 350 Euro interesting.
