I was too; I never believed it wasn’t capable. Tru is proving it’s a capable processor/chip!

Iam sure, that the more Tru learns about the Jaguar, the better MK will improve on its way to completion. 

Also, remember it runs on Jagstudio, proving the potential of those software tools

I don’t (and never will) agree with it. I always believed MK would be a killer app on the Jaguar. I’m glad it’s happening!

I did not agree with discarding the Jaguar Object Processor, being not capable enough. 

 

And of course, I appreciate and support the effort to bring MK to the Jag!

It happened during an argument a very long time ago, so I can’t honestly remember who said it. I believe the argument was about the Jaguar’s Object Processor, and how it wasn’t strong enough (or too buggy) to pull off a good port of Mortal Kombat.

I dont think a lot of people would agree to that

Why open a new thread anytime there is an update? Just an Observation hehe 😅

[MORTAL KOMBAT Atari Jaguar Pre-Alpha AVAILABLE NOW!]

It's an early alpha and it's Mortal Kombat on the Jaguar! This alone is a major achievement.

 

However, getting rid of the many issues will take another huge effort by the programmer. Keeping fingers crossed. 

 

What makes me worry the most is performance. The Object Processor already waves the white flag, tearing apart the screen top when there is an uppercut move. 

 

Also, the jump kicks and mid air rolls are noticably choppy compared to other versions. There is no AI yet, so lets hope it does not choke up everything. 

 

Still alot of work.

And people said it couldn’t be done. 
 

I can’t wait to play the finished game.

Really, who said that?

[Jumping At Shadows - WIP Platform Game from Reboot-Games]

Wrapping up the maps, added beautiful background art by Szadi.

 

Work on boxart started, soon there will be the first Test ROM of the complete game!

 

 

 

 

[Announcing - Jumping at Shadows: Moth-Line]

Nice! 🙂

[Galaxy Drifter?]

Always great to see new devs joining Lynx. Lets see. So far its a title screen and I am not so convinced about the choice of game.

Could Jaguar do Cursed Castilla?

Looks like a Genesis game, regarding the sprite/color style, but it runs on modern hardware and possibly it is much more sophisticated than it looks at first glance. 

I haven't played it much. A similar game is very possible on Jaguar though, built from scratch, but a 1:1 port is very unlikely.

Oh of course, I was mainly referring to the style, I wanna see shmups on the 7800 that are on the same level as R-Type, Gradius, Thunder Force, and other really well known, and hard core shmups.

same level is unlikely, R Type and Thunder Force are 16 bit shmups that require more capable hardware, e.g. Atari Lynx.

I doubt you would see this kind of graphics/sprites on a 7800!

Actually, Switch and Steamdeck are bigger devices.

It would be really cool having that gmae on the Jaguar too. Really decent Rastan Saga-like Game to boot

It would need some serious downgrades to run on Jaguar.

Xeno Crisis looks really tame compared to this:

 

 

 

 

Iam amazed how the Genesis is pushed with the latest shmup indie games!

Good scores! Very happy this game gets some recognition. Now bring on Rocketeer Caravan Edition!😅

[Xeno Crisis, and games like it on the Jaguar.]

Still hoping it gets greenlighted.

[Kickstarter project promises Atari Jaguar release of crowdsourced game, but later goes back on that promise]

With prerendered screens, totally possible. However he might run into ROM Limits.

agradeneu, what controller are you using?

Are you using 50Hz or 60Hz?

Congrats on 126K that is a monster score.

Thanks, 60 Hz, Standard Controller

I agree w/agradeneu, it's easy to get frustrated and want to reset, but keep at it. It took me awhile to get into the zone and do well. IMO once you get good the timer is your enemy, not the # of lives. 

Yeah, I usually play some full runs to warm up, eventually I improved my score.

So for Cannon Fodder, can you only get a score for one round/battle at a time, or can you build a cumulative score across multiple battles?  Trying to figure out the best way to score this for the HSC.  Thanks for input all. 

Cumulative score after game over (all soldiers lost).

Its basicially kills vs losses. 

 

The game invites for score farming, so lets see what happens

 I reached level 5.2. - the game gets brutally hard.
