Well, I like the new logo....

Doom should still be playable on that. What kind of VGA card do you have in it?

Yup, you get the best performance and storage capacity with those. I certainly understand the nostalgia for the old HD sounds, but having such a modern convenience on older hardware makes you never want to go back to mechanical media ever again, on any platform.

It'll play fine on a higher clocked 386DX, sure, but good luck getting it to load with 1 MB of RAM. The game would never load for me with anything less than 4MB, and no memory manager utilities or boot disks would change that. That said, Wolf3D is certainly playable on a 386SX with 1MB, provided you're freeing up enough RAM for it.

If he's able to run Doom at all then I highly doubt it's a 386 SX with only 1 MB of RAM. The game required a 486 and 4 MB at minimum, IIRC. Outside of that, I'll second those recommendations.

This is exactly why I sold mine also, and I don't miss it. A repro JagCD makes no sense nowadays with the proliferation of the GD. I think it's best that developers and publishers move on to taking advantage of the added conveniences we have now. CD releases on the Jag were pointless 10 years ago once making carts became easier for everyone, and it's even more pointless now.

A very simple but surprisingly fun game. Definitely helps make the top tier worth it!

Same here. I sold my JagCD a while back, and the VLM is the ONLY thing I miss from it.

I don't think I'll be able to resist this release. Oh, my poor bank account...

Maybe Atari can be somehow convinced to remake them.

Time is the fire in which we burn....in the toxicity of the Jaguar's fumes.

Music may have been a shortcoming for Atari on the console side, but most definitely not on the computer side.

Same here, I wondered a bit about its movie playing capabilities myself back in the day. Would love to see what kind of video quality the DC is capable of.

True enough, but the Atari name had little to do with their pre-bubble-burst success. Most of their big hitters were still published under Hasbro Interactive, with the Atari name mainly just used for their retro-themed games, none of which were huge sellers. Take it from someone who was there at the time, the Atari name had little value during Hasbro's ownership.

No it wasn't, otherwise they wouldn't have needed to offload all of Hasbro Interactive to Infogrames just three years after purchasing Atari. Like zzip said, Hasbro did very little with the Atari name while it was under their stewarship, with the most notable thing from that era being that they opened up the Jaguar thanks to a bunch of us overwhelming their customer support department.
