    Played this some more tonight, great fun. It's like a classy version of Fappy Bird. You should make a small CD run of this game!

     

    I'm not an old-hand at this forum, but I assume this is where a comment about a list should start? I'd like to be on the list for getting nachos, it's a one-man list and I'm about to go fill that order.

    The best place to get Jaguar games is on ebay. Search for the game you are looking for, then sort by "highest price first," then pick the top game and "buy it now." No reason to look elsewhere as all these games are priced reasonably and fairly, usually at or below actual market value.

     

    Welcome back to Jag :)

    I don't know.. that sounds like I might be taking advantage of the sorting system.

    Thank you both for the responses, I appreciate it. I don't know a whole lot about the skunkboard, other than it's pretty difficult to acquire now. And as for the CD unit, I may be getting one just a bit down the road and I don't mind purchasing homebrews to (at least somewhat) support their creation. = )

    Hello!

     

    I wanted to do a sort of introduction post here in the Jaguar section since I believe I've only posted here once. I haven't gotten used to the etiquette here yet, so, if intro posts are best kept in the Introduction area of the forums, I'll understand this bein' moved or ripped down.

     

    Sometime around the Jaguar's original lifespan, I remember being at an Incredible Universe and seeing Alien vs Predator playing on a Kiosk. For some reason, the overhead lighting in the corridors stands out as something that impressed me at the time. After getting a Jaguar of my own, I played (and did like) games such as Kasumi Ninja, Club Drive, Wolf 3D, DOOM & Alien vs Predator (of course.) I can't remember when I'd sold off my Jaguar and only a moment when I'd have the system again to play the Jaguar version of Wolf 3D about a good 9 or 10 years ago.

     

    Since then, I've been collecting various game stuff off and on and, as of last weekend, just did a pretty big trade with a friend for some of the Jaguar things he'd had stored away. I'd like to get back into experiencing some games I'd never played when I originally owned the system and am very interested in the homebrew games that have, and are, being released. I've got a few links I've been able to find, but, I was wondering, aside from the two homebrews I see available through AtariAge's store, are there any places the community might recommend to purchase homebrew games currently in stock, in either cart or CD format for the Jaguar?

     

    If anyone is interested I can post the photos of what I'd traded from my friend, but, for now, I'd just like to start with a good ol' greet and newbie question. = )

    Recently got back into the Atari Jaguar, and with Another World / Out of this World being one of my favorites, I had to send an email and I hope I'm not too late to join in. If so, I'll probably still keep an eye out for anyone selling off a copy that doesn't ask for both my arms and legs. (Maybe legs.. can still play if I got my arms at least.)

    Thank you for the replies. I'd been told the VCR trick somewhere and have yet to try it out, I think I will give that a shot before attempting other methods. I've been debating a system modded for S-Video but, to be honest, I'm a bit hesitant to install it myself. For someone who's not modded a system before, how difficult would you say it might be to get the mod working flawlessly?

    Some of those collections are very impressive, as for me, what I've got in the way of consoles is:

     

    Atari CX2600A

    Atari 5200 4-Port

    Atari Jaguar

    Nintendo DS - Electric Blue

    XBox 360 Premium

     

    Also, I know I've got a Vic-20 somewhere in storage with a few cartridges, I've been meaning to dig that up someday.

    Hello all, I've been browsing AtariAge for quite a while and have finally registered here at the forums. I was wondering if a few people might be able to give me their opinions on something I'm attempting to do.

    I've got a 42" Plasma Hitachi 1080i HDTV that I'd like to get an Atari console functioning with. The console model doesn't matter to me as long as it plays 2600 cartridges, as I'm a cartridge collector that would just like to be able to test and play my games without having to have multiple TVs to do so. I've tried the basic method of hooking up a switchbox to the cable input, but the image keeps flickering off as if the TV's resetting every three seconds or so. It's a new switchbox and the console seems to function normally with another non-HDTV I'd tested it on, so I'd assumed that wasn't the issue.

    However, I've read that modern TVs are having difficulties with these set-ups, and I've seen that other people are modding their systems to run A/V and S-Video. Is there a way to get any model 2600 or 7800 system to function in this way without modding with HDTVs? I'd prefer not altering my current console since it is a 2600 A Promo Console [Just noticed the engraving on the underside a bit ago as I'd not looked to see the model # before.]

    Any help would be appreciated, all I'm looking for is a safe method that's stable to play 2600 cartridges on this TV. Thank you.

     

    [Also, I'd noticed there's no photo for the 2600 Promo Console, if that is still the case and it's wanted, I could see if I could get some clear shots of mine.]
