Agree with KevinMos3. The pattern on 'Jaguar' doesn't seem to work. I'd be interested in the mocked up single colour version.

I'm going from some pretty feint memory here but I recall the game was initially titled 'Ultra VorteX' and had this title during its alpha/beta stages. It became 'Vortek' some time before release but after it had appeared in lists of upcoming games; the fact the two get used interchangeably is understandable. I do have the beta ROM somewhere - alas, I can't find it at the moment to check the title screen - but if the above is correct: Ultra VorteK - Release Ultra VorteX - Beta

Very promising.

Succinct.

Thanks for sharing. I wasn't aware the source had been released. Was it part of a JS2 extremist pack? Interesting to see the grenade launcher text, judging by the alpha it would have been an alt-fire for the Pulse Rifle. I wonder if it was ever implemented in one of the unreleased builds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=102&v=47uPhE3c0zM

A definite shame. I think Beej or Ken Rose mentioned a code - a sequence of button presses that could be entered in-game - to play all the FMV; but it's not certain which build it was in. (or if the code actually existed... Foggy memories and all that.)

You can unlock "Smells Like Teen Spirit"? Christ I didn't know that!

Having not played the game in 20 odd years it was nice to see it again, especially now that I can appreciate the inclusion of the psychoactive mushrooms.

Did you own the TRF prototypes and other assets? If so, have you sold those too?

Downfall is fun and addictive; two qualities missing from most games in the Jag's library. As for the backstory, I hear it's being adapted into a film. It should be better than the proposed Tetris movie - which will no doubt focus on 3D effects over narrative - but let's just wait and see.

I voted "Yes". Next up, Should polls be banned for at least a month?

From memory, I'd have to say Highlander and Blue Lightening. I mean I remember Highlander still being hard even using the cheat that gave you a rubber chicken as a weapon.

This pops up occasionally. There's a pretty good guide here. Between them the documents have pretty much all the known content - there's rumoured to be a video unlock code, but this has never been found or confirmed - but it's possible things have been missed. EDIT: I'm still looking forward to the documentary about it, Stillborn (?).

Excellent work,really it's spamtastic.

Wait. There are still newsagents? We have shops that sell booze to the 'unfortunate' but I didn't realise they still sold magazines (excluding ones with "Wives" in the title) and newspapers . Secondly, some of these poor newsagents stock Retro Gamer? F*** me! Maybe that explains the booze part...
