Gunstar Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I recently aquired a beta image of Rayman, but also have several other alpha/beta images for various games, both released and unreleased and I just started wondering what others are floating around out there...obviously there were probably Alpha/beta roms at least at some point for all the released jag games, but how many of those and "lost' titles are in the hands of Jag fans? Off the top of my head I know so far that these are out there, some have been released publicly, some not: BI/WN PhaseZero SpaceWar 2K Rayman Thea Realm Fighters Fight for Life Doom AvP I-war Robisons's Requiem Barkley BB F1 (WTR) Native What others are known to exist by users hear?

Gunstar Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 A beta of Rayman huh? What's different about it? Tempest Not sure yet as I haven't loaded it inot my flashrom to try yet. I was told by the person who gave it to me that there is no beginning animation sequence, it just starts out on a level, and that the "fairy" you get your poers from doesn't say anything, but that's all i know so far.

atarifan49 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 An alpha of Tinytoons was just recently sent out. And I mean alpha. Neat to look at but lacks significant amount of gameplay. Requires a dev system (Alpine or Flash) to use. Fits on a 2Meg cart. But with what little it has, it doesn't justify the cost of wasting the chips on.

Tempest Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Wow! If anyone is willing to give me information on what is different about those Jag protos (or let me borrow the images) I'll start my Jaguar proto page. I didn't think there were so many betas out there. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunstar Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 I have an Iron Soldier [a1] image from '94 it says on the file, that I found on my HD (forget where I got that one). Not sure if it's an alpha or beta as I haven't tried it yet. Just mentioning it too, since no one else has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 OK, almost 15 years later...Is there an up-to-date list of these and also how many are "out in the wild" at this point? I see some are now sold as ROM cartridges. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Wow, necropost with a necrouser! The best kind! Welcome back Justclaws. Yeh I was reading this message thinking "what? They don't know the difference of the alpha of Rayman? That is common knowled.... ah... 2003.. got it." There have been a few posts, one where a prototype of Asteriods 2000 was found. My experience with the Jaguar in recent times is a good one to report for someone coming out of suspended animation... 1) The Jaguar has a good development system thanks to the Reboot folks and other effects. A lot of fan made games being made. 2) A lot of mythical alpha roms have been found and as you have seen, released for collectors. 3) Games ported from the Atari ST with Cyrano Jones. Has doubled the game count. 4) Doom wads being ported for new maps thanks to Saturn. 5) Recently discovered that some Atari 2600 games actually play on the Jaguar (Virtual VCS). Hopefully we can find that updated list, but the Jaguar I believe has become a lot less "what if" to "here is what the Jaguar does". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagChris Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 It's funny how some people complain about others starting new threads about old topics instead of using the search function. Then will complain about necrobumps. <Huge eye roll emoji here> 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
