    Are there people here who had never heard of the jaguar when it was relevant but like it now?

    (This is my first forum post, sorry if it’s a bad or out of place question). 
     

    I was born around the time the N64 and PS1 where in there hay day, so I never had the chance to play or buy a jaguar when it was still relevant. 
     

    My first real gaming experience was when I got a Gameboy advance SP when I was around 13, but never really took interest in gaming (mostly because I really couldn’t afford it). 
     

    Because of that I did take interest in older games and consoles (as they where a lot cheaper than Xbox 360 and PS3 stuff at that time) which eventually let me to the jaguar.

     

    Now that I’m in my early 20s I love the jag, I’ve managed to get a jaguar cd for a decent price a while back and have around 25 games for it (5 for the cd 20 regular cartridges). 
     

    So I was wondering, am I alone in this or are there more people who took on an interest for the jag long after it went off the shelves. 
     

     

    Was the first console I purchased on my own with the money I had earned working on a ranch for the summer in the Texas heat. I was a rabid Alien and Predator fan in the early 90's so playing AVP in Incredible Universe was a huge sell for me.  Getting AVP with my new Jaguar as well as Hover Strike and Doom got me hooked on this system. That was until Christmas 1997 where I got an N64 from my parents and it went in its box.  I later donated the system to a local church.  

     

    2005 while finishing college and spending money on only myself, I had an itch to play the jaguar again and got a lot of items off ebay which included the system and a majority of the games which were new in box for a reasonable price. I purchased a lot of my items from eBay seller "sweetstuff4u"  which I found out later was getting a bad rap for reasons I am not aware of and purchased a brand new Jagaur CD from myatari.  Its one of my most treasured consoles and now that Im a little older and have less time to invest in long gameplay on my Xbox One X, I have reverted back to even older systems and enjoying the short but sweet gaming experiences they provide.  I may be one of the only ones that give my system a good wipe down with armor-all wipes before I cover with a dust cover on my gaming area.  

     

    SO long story short, when I became more aware of the gaming scene becoming a pre-teen, I had always been fascinated by the Jaguar.

    If you had read the posts above yours you would have noticed this was already discussed when this thread was originally started in 2014. Ikari Warriors goes for less than $100 more often than you might think. $100 is more for a CIB copy. Be patient and you will find a reasonable deal soon enough. $35 to a high of $60 should get you a nice loose copy even on ebay. If you read the ad you would see it mentions ordering reproduction LABELS and not the cartridges themselves specifically and does so very well, "cut and dry" as you put it. Looks like Albert has to spell it out even clearer to avoid confusion by folks like yourself. I hope you find a copy on the cheap sooner than later and really enjoy the game. If you end up paying a little more for it, I can attest to it being worth it. One of the better games from the retail released 7800 games.

    The past posts you were referring to talk about double dragon if that’s what you mean which isn’t a problem finding. When a listing states to provide a game binary and label art( with reproduction listed somewhere on the artwork for rare games) someone like myself does assume a game such as IKARI warriors would be an example of this.

     

    If that purchase listing is only for creators making their own games then I guess I completely misread the sales listing.
    Tried searching on the topic as to not trigger anyone. So much for good intentions.

    i Understand there are peeps out there trying to make a dishonest buck. But some games are extremely unattainable for someone like me that really just wants to play the game on the hardware. 
    thanks for the response Al. And I understand why you choose not to.

    Well I wasn’t looking for IKARI Warriors 5+ years ago and just want to play it on my system without putting down 100 bones. I saw this on the sale add in the store and figured there was nothing wrong for the inquiry.

    “If you order labels of rare Atari 7800 games, we will add the text "REPRODUCTION CARTRIDGE" in small type somewhere on the label. This is to help prevent people from reselling these cartridges on eBay (or elsewhere) as the "real thing" to unsuspecting bidders”

     

    Seems pretty cut and dry for me.

    Wait, I though Al/the AA store didn't do repros of commercial 7800 games?

     

    If I want a Commando, and can supply a Pokey, can/will he make it?

    I believe they will but list “repro” on it. If it’s possible to sacrifice a ball blazer for IKARI I’d love to

    Just wanted to give a shout out to Jesse at the ITC laboratory! Jesse did a fantastic job to my system and I highly recommend him for his skilled work and professionalism in keeping me updated and informed every step of the way. Thanks again sir??post-10462-0-89492500-1557027737_thumb.jpeg
