Elansar Jaguar

[+orpheuswaking]

yikes. is the game that bad? I did have a chance to play it for a bit about ten years ago at MGC show, and I know I didn't care for the game play, but I'm not sure how far along the game was in development at the time...I figured it would have gotten better, but maybe that was the final i played and the release was just delayed for years and years?

 

I wasn't about to get into a game bashing debate on Mad Bodies... Some people loved it and some people hated it. I didn't care for it and sold it. However the release itself was very well put together and came in a great case with a foam insert and nice artwork.

I'm ok with the clam shells not being the same size as my other Jaguar boxes, as long as they are the same height as my DVD cases I have all my Jag CD's in now, so they fit nicely on the shelf with the CD games, with all boxed games on another shelf above or below. Jaguar owners don't have them all uniform anyway, from cartridge box, to large CD box, to several CD games coming only in the carboard folder or jewel case. But all official releases had some sort of box or case, except ICD Aircars with it's box insert only. Even Cybermorph boxes are for sale if you want a box for it (pack-in version).

 

I guess I'm just used to this

Boxes of every size

I wasn't going to mention this just yet as it's not 100% finalised, but our carts released through RGCD are going to look like these C64 releases of theirs:

 

 

They are going to be RGCD standard releases and I'm really pleased about that personally. As you can see with Kobayashi Maru in the middle of those, they use of the Universal Videogame Box which is maybe a few mm different to a DVD box and there should be no problem matching a box design to the way we've been doing CD releases with them (ie very much based on the original Atari Jaguar boxes).

 

Hopefully anyone else releasing on cart through RGCD in future will do likewise. Then we can work on that ratio of C64 to Jaguar and rather than the 20:1 above we'll be closer to parity one day ;0)

For me it would be a good solution with the RGCD Cases.

I think that is a good way for homebrews cases for the Jaguar

I really like these boxes. I could easily see putting all of your games into these. I think we should close this poll and start a new one including the option for this case and another for 'I could care less, just give me a good quality game'. I think you will see much different results.

I won't be linking this thread when my copy of it hits eBay shortly! Personally I still hate the plastic cases, but then I'm not planning having much jag stuff left, so it won't really matter

[Orion_]

the RGCD box are nice, I think I will go this way

[Guitari]

Is this poll Proportional representation or First past the post? Currently 45% want what 55% don't! But it could (unlikely) swing the other way!

[sh3-rg]

There's also the equivalent Yaro poll, and stop spinning those 5 crazies who say it's too expensive don't come into the equation as they're not interested at all and want something for nothing

[Guitari]

taking out the 5 crazies makes it a sure fire thing for no box!! all other things aside... But I want a box dammit

And it looks like it'll have one \o/

It might be too much hassle to organise, but any chance of a one off, limited run without boxes for those who can't afford the higher priced box offering?

Oh yes, cool!

I don't think a price has been announced...

[OBO]

Yep, these RGCD boxes look very nice.

[Gunstar]

Well,

Well, I've seen cases that look like those RGCD cart cases before, and the ones I've come across are too narrow for a Jaguar cartridge with the curved handle, they won't close properly. I hope it isn't the case with the RGCD cases, and that would be ok, though I'd prefer the slightly thicker, and identically sized to DVD black clam-shell cases like the one for KA Aircars that i showed in the link. That's what I had in mind. If the RGCD cases can properly fit Jaguar cartridges, then thy are barely accepable to me, better than no box/case at all, but that's it.

 

I remind all, that I do still prefer real boxes, and I'd also prefer clam-shell casing that is black and the same height as DVD cases, close to DVD height and clear is barely acceptable to me. (And centering the DVD case in the picture doesn't hide anything from me, I can tell it's a fair amount taller than those RGCD cases-standing upright on my shelves it will be an obvious difference)

Well you can not buy our cart games the same as you don't buy our CD games

Like it! I make music and put my music on CD..but I still have to make the CD booklet and covers..otherwise it's just a CD and therefore not complete

And then people download the mp3 regardless and don't keep it in any physical form.....

[averybluemonkey]

Yeah almost all the music I listen to are digital only releases these days, just because they don't have the funds to make a little booklet and some cover art doesn't make them any less of a musician.

Just noticed you have Elansar available on Android. Is this a scaled down version or the same as what will be?
