First time Jaguar owner!

[First time Jaguar owner!]

I recommend Wolfenstein 3d, I-War, Iron Soldier and Checkered Flag. Yeah that's right, Checkered Flag!

[New Console]

YES!!! Even if's not financially possible for Atari to do so and they have to use government money!

[Checkered Flag controls]

Do people find Checkered Flag's controls THAT bad? I've had no problems with them!

[Jagaur games that get a bad rep, maybe not so bad?]

Out of the 'bad' games I have...

 

I was able to enjoy Kasumi Ninja enough to at least beat it on easy. I like Club Drive due to it's kinda surreal style. I think Checkered Flag is awesome and have no trouble at all with the controls, although I can see why most people would have a hard time. Cybermorph is kinda 50/50 with people I think but I really enjoy it.

[Just got I-War.]

I love this game. One of my favourites on the Jaguar. The only thing I don't like is that there's no way of strafing left and right so it's hard to dodge enemies. Apart from that and the sever slowdown on the later levels, I-War is awesome. I think the graphics are great, it's challenging but not too difficult, the bonus stages add some good variety. It's just fantastic in so many ways!

[Opinion of the Atari Jaguar.]

The Jaguar is awesome. Some really unique games and excellent ports of games like Doom and Wolfenstein. It's one of my favourite consoles and it always will be! Also, I wouldn't have passed on that offer.

[S-Video]

lol

[Games I should be looking for?]

Checkered Flag and Club Drive belong in everyone's Jaguar collection!

[Favorite FPS on the Jag?]

Doom!

 

Wolfenstein is great too and I prefer it over the PC version.

 

AvP just bores me though.

[Jag wont play on new Philips LCD tv]

By a CRT

[HEADS UP]

I don't think I could ever sell any of my stuff. Whether it's my Jaguar collection, Saturn collection, etc, I just couldn't!

[Checkered Flag controls better in 1st person mode?]

I find it pretty responsive on camera 4. Not great but it's playable. I found the first person view made it even worse.

[Ultra Vortek]

I wouldn't pay £15 for a loose Jaguar cart. The least I'd expect for that price is half decent boxed cart without the manual and inner case.

 

Still, as long as you end up liking the game and think it's money well spent then that's all the matters.

[It's 1990, your designing a game system, what would you do?]

I don't have much knowledge of specs so I was just throwing out numbers pretty much. Make what you want with them. lol

[It's 1990, your designing a game system, what would you do?]

CPU- Custom built based on the Motorola 6800 range.

 

24bit data bus

 

GPU- Ability to produce 150 64x64 sprites on screen, 16 bit colour, 10,000 flat shaded polygons on screen, 320x240 max resolution.

 

Sound processor capable of 8 channel sound, digitised voice reproduction, synthesiser.

 

2MB RAM

 

RF, Composite, S-Video, RGB output.

 

Two controller inputs.

 

8MB RAM cartridge storage.

 

Whether it'll be sold at a loss, I don't know. But if I have the money I'll throw in blast processing too. lol

[What is your favourite game format?]

Carts for me. They look great, they're more durable and load faster than CDs, though CDs are technically superior. I wish a console was released that used LaserDiscs. lol

[Most/least consistent consoles ever]

Good - Saturn, Master System

Bad - PS2, SNES

[Trevor McFur Zool 2 Doom Videos. :^)]

Nice job, but you should set the recording volume lower ; the sound is saturated.

 

Yeah, I've just been panicking the last 5 minutes thinking my speakers were broken. lol Cool videos though. That's actually the first footage I've seen of Trevor McFur. I've never actually looked it up before.

[Textures on I-WAR?]

It would be cool if the "no texture" feature worked.. And, hell, it would be cool if there was even an option to turn off the shading.. Imagine I-War running at 60fps!

 

It would be a major boost to those later levels that seem to run at around 10 fps. lol That's something I like about PC games. The ability to change resolution, texture detail, model detail, lighting and shadows.

[Textures on I-WAR?]

Oh right. That clears things up a bit. I didn't realise the textures were 'on' even though there are a few in the game. I thought a feature like that would have placed textures everywhere, though I guess the game would be unplayable then. lol

[Textures on I-WAR?]

I was looking up codes for various Jaguar games and saw this 'bonus options' code for I-WAR. It says there is an option to turn textures on or off but that it doesn't work on the retail version. Can anyone explain this? I only know of a retail version of I-WAR, is there another version?

[I-War on the Nintendo DS]

Wow, it does! It looks pretty cool too. Kinda how I'd imagine an I-War sequel to be. If I ever get a DS this will be on my list. Great find.

[How Do You Open Your Jaguar Boxes Without Destroying Them?]

Like a woman. Just put a finger in and pull back the flaps.

[Jaguar Bashing]

Yep and also they scored 32X Doom higher than Jag Doom!

 

WTF? That's crazy!

[Jaguar Bashing]

assumption that the Jaguar is a 16-32 bit system.

That's would be the ST. (hence the name)

 

 

Though by that logic, pretty much any 68000 based system was 16/32-bit -68008 is an odd case though. (the Neo Geo was not 24-bit though... that makes no logical sense, it's not like it has a custom VDP using a 24-bit bus or something)

 

I know, right?
