  1. Check Etsy too, I see all kinds of weirdo repro things on there.
  2. This is the Jag forum, take your logical thinking elsewhere, sir!
  3. I'm glad it all worked out in the end.
  4. Why not just use bigpemu and save the $200? Also they'd have to find a source for the proper Jag fumes, that's going to add some cost.
  5. Well that explains why JNCO is back in business.
  6. There are people who keep a handheld gaming device in their pocket at all times?
  7. To be fair, the R-Zone has a better palette and smoother scrolling than the Spectrum. Well I guess so does the Supervision.
  8. Does Blast Processing change any of that? Game Sack was one of the few YT channels I could stomach and I have to agree here.
  9. Legitimate question, how are people eyeballing frame rates? How can one tell when a game is 57 FPS and when it hits 60?
  10. Covering up Atari Jaguar and Lynx logos with stickers containing their new logos is what it means. As active as Carl is on this forum, if he wanted to and/or could talk about it I imagine he would. I think we can all draw our own reasonable conclusion and whether or not this was of his own volition..
  11. That is fair, the Spectrum had its market, people who are color blind deserve to play games too.
  12. Does it matter? Is the game less fun if it doesn't? I really do not understand the fascination some people have with FPS. But I'm amazed by the people who can look at a YouTube video of an upcoming game and determine the exact FPS.
  13. I don't even know what's going on here. Both Icelandic heavy metal and the Spectrum are horrible IMO. Let's get back to talking about the Evercade instead of defending junk. So, how bout those Duke Nukem carts, eh?
  14. Nicely done, that's a pretty respectable selection of Jag carts. As Machine said, check out the games in the AA store and also what Songbird has, I'd recommend Protector SE which IMO is a better buy than Defender 2000.
  15. Correct, but generally speaking you will see many of the same games, movies, albums, etc on the various "best of" lists. Spectrum games are on "best of" lists as often as Police Academy 4 is on "greatest movies of all time" lists. I pointed out how Spectrum fans themselves in a Spectrum magazine considered Jetpac the 73rd best Spectrum game and here you are arguing it's one of the greatest games of all time. That honestly makes no sense to me and you can't say it's because people aren't exposed to the games, it was a ranking in a Spectrum magazine. Maybe I'm not understanding your argument here.
  16. I'm here to learn. What are 3 Spectrum games that are mentioned in the same breath as SMB3. Perhaps I've underestimated the Spectrum. Jet Set Willy doesn't even appear to have been thought of as a top 10 Spectrum game. In the final issue of Your Sinclair, the ZX Spectrum version was ranked number 32 on "The Your Sinclair Official Top 100 Games of All Time", and voted number 33 on "The Your Sinclair Readers' Top 100 Games of All Time." Jetpac did even worse: The ZX Spectrum version was voted number 73 in the Your Sinclair Readers' Top 100 Games of All Time in 1993. I guess the Spectrum has at least 73 of the greatest video games of all time, time to download an emulator and find what I've been missing out on.
  17. Did I miss the post where someone claimed the British invented the Spectrum's palette? If so, thanks for clarifying! ETA: AtariAge has to be one of the few places on the Internet where someone will use SMB3, generally considered one of the best video games of all time, as a means to defend the Spectrum. A computer that has exactly zero of the greatest games of all time. I don't understand why people get so defensive over that tiny box with rubber keys. There are plenty of systems and games I like that people crap on and somehow strangers on the Internet not liking things I like doesn't affect my enjoyment. If licensing a Spectrum emulator/BIOS (whatever the hold up is) and games is profitable for Blaze, they will do it. As one of the gaming industry's greats once said, "Simple as that".
  18. Did you try sending him a message and asking?
  19. That explains why I'm so often confused between EGA PC games and Spectrum games. It's the palette.
  20. The color palette wasn't meant for human eyes either.
  21. An MSX game is coming in 2 months though.
  22. This seems appropriate: https://misteraddons.com/collections/reflex/products/composite-to-rf-adapter
  23. A simple link to the Wiki would've sufficed. That said, let's hope they leave Spectrum games off the cart.
  24. There is the other side of the coin of explaining to people why you have a 30 year old TV with 15 retro consoles hooked up to it for that "authentic 1987 experience." Because that's more normal than having a 4k TV.
