    Definitely YES!

     

    I got to play Total Carnage on the Jag a while back, at Carl's booth (think it was CGE2K3, when I helped with Jagfest) and the gameplay was rock solid.

     

    Total Carnage would be a welcome addition to my Jag collection.

     

    BTW, whatever happened to Mad Bodies?

    Well, after talking to Curt Vendel at the America's Game eXpo in Dallas, I know that the Flashback 2 is going to have a couple more versions coming out soon. Think tiny controllers that can fit on a keychain, but can hook up to a TV and play real games...... :D

     

    That, and the new Atari Fossil watches that were on display out at the show, are the things I'm most looking forward to. Asteroids playing on the face of a watch.  :lust:

    Yeah, it was great being able to speak to Curt today. I was glad to be able to meet him in person, and hear about Flashback 2's different versions.

    Flashback 2 should be a huge item for this holiday season coming soon!!

     

    I couldn't keep my eyes off those watches either! :D

    I've noticed a couple of odd quirks to the game. The bat took a key away from me and dropped a dead dragon in it's place, and I was trapped inside the dragon! And a couple of times, the bat will just stop and sit in the same place holding on to some object until I walk into the frame with another item.

    The bat has acually helped me kill a dragon twice! When I had the sword, the bat had a dragon, and flew into my sword!

    :D

    2D Platform.

     

    Although I am a SHMUP fan, I would enjoy a new platform game on the Jag. Something that would be fun for kids to play along with their family.

    But, now that I think of it, how many children have actually seen a Jaguar, much less play one? :?

     

    Change my vote to a 2D shooter!

    Anyhow, I went to the local Super Wal-Mart (central Virginia today) and saw 4 Flashback 2.0 systems in the electronic toys section, but up on the top shelf, with no sticker on any  of the shelving units.

     

    Yep. FB2 is not set into Walmarts "modular" yet, so look on the very top shelf (called a riser), or ask someone for help. They may even have them available in the backroom.

    Locally, Flashback 1 is being moved to the clearance isle, so FB2 can be placed in it's spot (FB1 is now $15)

    I bought a FB2 two days ago, and enjoy it very much. The design, game selection, and I love the controllers. In fact, it's been awhile since I could say that I "lost track of time" when enjoying a game (BTW it was Adventure 2.) :)

     

    Things to watch out for:

    1.) Price. I paid $25 for mine at Wal-Mart two days ago. Since then, they have went up to $30.

    2.) Controllers. The sticks come unscrewed easily. I sill love the "feel" of them though.

    You want retro? Check out Brad's Atari Lynx collection. There were also two Lynx's here, hooked together for some head to head action.

     

    The Lynx collection was very popular this year! I was glad to see so many gamers interested in the Lynx. When they would get 2 games comlynxed together, casual gamers would find out how much fun a Lynx can be!

    The only small problem was that I couldn't find anyone else at the show that had a 3rd, 4th, or more, Lynx for some real fun. Maybe this is something that should be planned either before, or after the show.

    The most popular Lynx games were Warbirds, Slime World, Battlezone 2000, and Alpine games.

    (someone put that plastic Batman bag on my Lynx T-Shirt, just as you took the picture, darn it :) )

    Brad Prillwitz always has killer stuff to show off. This picture of these flat panel monitors don't really convey just how beautiful they are in real life! I played some two-player space game (I forgot the name of it) on the Jaguar on these babies and learned that in space, there is no mercy. After getting shot in the back several times, I moved on.

    This picture has Rayman on the right side, along with an arcade joystick controller, that I purchased from the Goat store. Several people liked the control, but commented that it should be in a bigger case. And the controllers got all over the Jagfest issue. I hope that everyone could see it!

     

    The most popular Jaguar games were Tempest 2000(with the Rotary controller), Battlesphere/Gold(linked), Breakout 2000(lot of younger gamers were checking this one out!), ProtectorSE, Rayman, Spacewar 2000, and Skyhammer.

     

    Flack, I'm not very good at playing Battlesphere either, because it's not the same playing solo. Also, I should have made some type of control display, so everyone would know how to play Battlesphere. Plenty of gamers got to try it out though!

    :D

    Who is bringing Lynx stuff and who wants to play some multiplayer? I've never gotten to play any multiplayer so I'm really looking forward to it!

     

    Tell me what your name tag is gonna say so I can look for you.

    My name tag will have Brad P (purenergy) on it.

    I can get from Tulsa to Dallas easily in 4.5 hours. I know, because I did it once almost 10 years ago in an old '92 Escort Wagon! It can be done in less than 5 hours.

    Yep, that's about right. If you are coming up highway 75, be careful of the local law when you cross the Red river into Oklahoma. They have been stopping drivers in Calera, with a speed limit of 55, for a few miles. Once you pass the Choctaw Casino, you can put the pedal to the metal.
