+xucaen Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I just saw a review video of Battlesphere. That looks like a really great game. And it was released on cartridge! I hadn't come across this game before in my research. http://www.scatologic.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 It's a solid game for what it is. I'm personally not much a fan of space flight games in general so I couldn't really get into it, but fans of the genre might dig it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlynxalot Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I had the opportunity to play this game recently and it did not live up to the ideas I'd built up in my head about it. It was good, but I didn't feel that it was any better than other similar games of the era such as Stellar Assault on the 32x in terms of graphics or gameplay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing that you post this video, because I was watching it last night, as well as his other Jaguar reviews.

Actually, I had done my research a few years ago before I bought a Jaguar from Best and I had made a list of games along with notes based on reviews. I think I was looking at only "official" releases so that's probably why I missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leech Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 How many copies of Battlesphere Gold were made vs how many working Jaguars are there? Seriously need another run of the game so there aren't 1000 dollar copies being sold randomly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leech Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Seriously won't happen. Yeah, I know. Bunch of drama around it, etc. I just know there was a lot of us that just missed the original run and had no idea the Gold run was happening until it was over.

AdeptRapier Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Anyone know where I can read a copy of the manual? I cant afford a copy of the game but would love to read the manual at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously need another run of the game so there aren't 1000 dollar copies being sold randomly. Another run will never happen, the topic has been debated for the last 15 years. I'm pretty sure that less than 300 copies of BSG were made, original BS is probably even less. The question I have is....why is the Scatologic page still up after all these years? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+xucaen Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Well, after watching a couple of battlesphere review videos, it got me thinking - I wonder if it would be possible to port the Atari ST version of Star Raiders to the Jag. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OClv3JqRZAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Search is your friend. Yep, that thread shows that Star Raiders on the Jaguar is possible. I think it would be a fun game on the Jaguar. Now if you can get ahold of Battlesphere there is the built in game "Alone Against the Empires" which is a great Star Raiders tribute. As far as Battlesphere goes I believe if the game had been more widely released we would be singing the praises as an innovative game. Probably a 8 or 9 out of 10. But with so much hype, the cost of the game, I think that drives it into the sour grapes category. A shame as I've played the game for hours alone and against friends networked and it is quite fun.

+LS650 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Please don't. A little searching for BattleSphere here will tell you more than you could ever want to know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LianneJaguar64 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'd say that Colony Wars was more impressive than Battlesphere in terms of space combat games though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'd say that Colony Wars was more impressive than Battlesphere in terms of space combat games though The 1st 2 Colony Wars games are the best. Red Sun is technically impressive, but i never found it as much fun to play. PS1 is rather spoilt in this genre though... 3 Colony Wars games, Darklight Conflict,WC3 and 4, Star Trek Invasion, Blast Radius.. Something for everyone.

UHATEIT Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I enjoy space shooters. But I couldn't get into this one. Maybe it was the warping to different areas I couldn't get into. One space shooters I love is Solar Eclipse on the Sega Saturn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
