I just got me my first jaguar setup and I am very pleased - two systems! Accidental over eager ebay bidding led to getting two systems - dang!
I am a big gamer (and retro fan) from my early days as a kid from a Sinclair Spectrum to my present day 360 and lots of machines inbetween. I never had a Jaguar - my first memories of the Jaguar are at a big now defunct rental store in the UK - Rumblelows. I remember they had a demo machine to try out and Jaguar games in my local store but of course - I was only a teenager and didn't have the money to buy the system - I had a Megadrive at the time instead and remember one time getting FIFA 95 when they had the Jaguar right next to the Sega stuff with lots of kids fighting over the controllers.
I am big fan of the Commodore Amiga, and had one as a kid - I enjoyed great games like Cannon Fodder, Syndicate, Flashback and hey - many others than I can buy on the Jaguar! So to increase my retro collection, I just had to get a Jaguar to play on my big lounge TV and get these great games.
First impressions are good - the machine is bigger than I imagined and remembered - it is a lot longer! However it feels substantial, secure and well made (Made in the USA!). The joypad is comfortable on the ahnds but I am finding it hard to control in Cannon Fodder using the dpad - but I am going to try another controller tonight as I have 3.
I am not sure what other games to try out - I am surprised at how expensive Alien vs Predator still is - if it was the most popular title then surely there must be lots of copies? Ah well if I find one for the right price I may have a go. I would like to get Zool 2 as well, but thanks to ebay I have a lot of games to try out with my system while I see what to get next.
I have already read lots in this forum and look forward to contributing to other threads, thanks for reading!
