  1. Not knocking it at all, just genuinely curious. It's hard to tell from those smaller pics and it's not uncommon for Japanese sellers to re-bag items. If someone wants a DC to put an ODE in, this would be a much cheaper option than a US version.
  2. Have you tried using the volume buttons?
  3. There are some on YT: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=BIOFURY+3do
  4. I've always found it best to just email Telegames directly vs trying to order from their site. If Atari doesn't want those games published and Telegames is still doing it I definitely would not mention it on a forum owned by Atari.
  5. I personally haven't found the screen to be too small, but like I said, I do agree w/the rear buttons. How anyone w/adult hands is playing SF2 on the Capcom edition is beyond me. I can't see this replacing my EXP. I feel like the scanlines option should've been left off this lower res screen, they just don't work for me anyway. For someone just discovering the Evercade, I think $60 is a good entry point plus it's cheap enough to purchase a couple extra carts. The EXP will be the go to for people more into the library.
  6. Sounds no different than people who complain that Best isn't Amazon. If people don't want to order from Telegames for whatever reason that's on them.
  7. Yes, Telegames is still in business. Look at Jag prices today compared to 5 years ago, there's your answer on if there's demand for old Jag games.
  8. That's good to know, Atari Gamer has been my go-to site for Lynx cart info, especially in terms of variants.
  9. Yeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you here. Their first video back in July mentioned Evercade compatibility. It was also mentioned on the landing page on their original website:
  10. Keep the fumes in. Safer that way.
  11. https://www.best-electronics-ca.com/lynx.htm
  12. Well the original announcement in 2020 stated 500 copies available so people have had a couple years to get a copy: https://songbird-productions.com/2020/12/22/its-the-most-wonderful-time-of-the-year-part-3/ The current listing says 250 copies, so again, plenty to go around as it hasn't sold out since Jan 2021.
  13. There's also what CJ said. IMO this topic is misleading as Songbird never stated OOP. Best Buy stated they will no longer be carrying physical video media, that doesn't mean all blu-rays are OOP. Although I still believe the IS2 and Breakout 2000 situation is due to Atari rather than supply chain.
  14. I'm not sure that "will not be available from Songbird" means OOP in terms of the Jag games. They are Telegames releases. Centipede on the Lynx, I completely understand though. ETA: I should probably clarify why I'm saying this. IS2 and Breakout 2000 are presumably still Atari IP. As is Centipede. Atari obviously put the kibosh on Songbird and AA selling certain games/using Atari logos. Does their reach extend to Telegames in the UK? That I don't know, but that is why I'm assuming that Songbird won't be selling those games.
  15. Nice, Protector SE is on sale, if you don't have that game you're missing out on one of the best releases IMO.
  16. What did you eat for dinner and at what time?
  17. Finding a sealed Rayman will be next to impossible, I completed a full set (that is no longer full) maybe 10 years ago and even back then sealed copies were nowhere to be found.
  18. I think the fact that they only released Taito games packaged into a handheld is a good sign they won't release carts. Same thing w/Capcom. The Taito Super Pocket is a good deal at $60. The only problem I could see would be attempting to play carts that use the shoulder buttons as I can't imagine a good way to use those without my hands cramping up. But as is for the included games, it's a great little handheld.
  19. Why would they have used a prop cart? It wouldn't be an accurate representation of the product the customer would receive. Imagine thinking it's a nice, sleek handheld and when you get it there's a void in the back where a cart should be. Was any handheld in history ever advertised with a prop cart to fill space?
  20. Jag forum gonna Jag forum. 1. Yes, in order to save the Jag they should've released a console that combined a cart console few bought with a CD add-on with a handful of games even fewer people wanted let alone purchased. Brilliant! 2. Of course, the well known Scrapyard Dog franchise could've bested Sonic and Mario or at least been fierce competition. It seemed like in the early 90's all anyone talked about on the playground was Scrapyard Dog and come 1994 we didn't have a 64-bit version. Atari really screwed up there. 3. Agreed, smooth running texture mapped games were the Jag's strong point, I don't know why there weren't more of those. 4. Nintendo was well known in the 90's for allowing competitors to release their flagship titles on their own hardware, so it's hard to understand why they couldn't come to an agreement with Atari for Mario 64. Just like how many licks it takes to get the the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop, we'll never know why this didn't happen. I'm sure the fact the Jag was discontinued by the time the N64 came out had nothing to do with it. I heard Excitebike 3DO was close to release too. 5. Yeah, why didn't developers spend 10s if not 100s of thousands of dollars trying to port PS1 and N64 games to the Jag. It's like they didn't even care enough to try and see what happened. Laziness. 6. What better way to sell a next-gen 64-bit console than to offer 15+ year old games on it. Now there's what would've saved the Jag! So to summarize, releasing a JagDuo that played Mario 64, Daytona, Tomb Raider, Combat, Pac-Man and Sonic & Knuckles would've saved the Jag. Simple as that.
  21. I'm sure that new screen looks amazing, but for how much I use my Deck I'm OK with the OG screen. The improved battery life is nice, I can see someone who uses their deck a lot wanting the new model.
  22. What other games has he released? Or is his first project going to be a Mortal Kombat port on the Jag? Which seems 100% reasonable and very likely to be released if that's the case.
