    Just found the original game on level 4. It was fun. Wish I could just play that for a while.

    Play it as much as you would like.

      

    To play the original Atari 2600 version of this classic game, select Info on the title screen and press C 26 times followed by Down.

    Super Burnout, Power Drive Rally, World Tour Racing. Those are the good racing games from the original retail run. Now we have some additional good racing games by way of ST ports. Checkered Flag... I had it when it was current and it was crap then as it is crap now. I mean... I bought it from the store with my own money (as I did all of my Jag purchases) so I really really really tried. I put plenty of time into it. I just never enjoyed any of that time. Luckily I had purchased Super Burnout before CF so when I was done being frustrated with CF I could slap Super Burnout in and have fun again.

    Thanks for the nice words guys.

    Don't forget this one is updated for the reBOOTed cart :)

    I hope the update might include a slight delay between dying and respawning. Dying while holding down is often punished with double or triple death. I think that's my only complaint. The game is a blast but definitely harder than it looks.

    I am enjoying this game. There are two things that are really annoying though.

     

    1) Fireballs are the worst. Ok they keep going until they hit a wall and they hit all enemies they pass by. Great. The problem is enemies are usually up in your face and you can't attack again while the fireball is still on screen. Terrible weapon. Throwing knives are excellent.

    2) I wish there was a way to jump off a ladder.

    I got Katsumi Ninja with an eBay bundle as well, but it gets so little love on here and YouTube reviews that I hadn't started it up until last night.  I actually had a pretty good time.  Was literally laughing out loud a couple of times.  A true testament to 90's MK knockoff fighting games.

     

    Hint: try jump kicks!

    The Jaguar was the first console that I bought with my own money as a teenager and so it was the first console that went into my room instead of the rec room (common area). I did not get Ultra Vortek at the time but I did get Kasumi Ninja and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. For the time the first-person 3D interface for picking fighters was cool to me. People poke at it now but it worked as intended for the target audience. The backgrounds looked good at the time as well. Obviously it wasn't as good as MK but I still wanted to learn all of the moves and finishers. I enjoyed it for what it was.

     

    Today I would rather play Ultra Vortek. I have Primal Rage but I can't get combos to work on the Jag even if my life depended on it. It seems broken.

    Two things that help

     

    1) If you have full health when you fall into the hole at the beginning you can break some bricks to the left and recover your health. There is one heart along the way to the fall to recover your health before falling. If the last enemy before the hole hurts you at all you will lose your first life when you fall.

    2) Memorize where the spike traps are. They eat up a lot of health and there's no way to know that they are outside of stepping on them. At least there is no indication that I can tell.

    Well, there must be some reason.  I would think if some money could be made and or the community would be made a better place by its presence, then why not.  If it were my IP then I would at least want it out there for others to enjoy.  I'd really prefer not to go pirate but the prices for originals are very prohibitive.

    Clearly you weren't here when Thunderbird was a regular. Neither of the pros that you listed matter to him.

    Bah! I had high hopes for this one on Virtual Jaguar, but the game seems to crash every time I reach the third lap. It was fun up until then!!! Maybe I'll try it on my other computer that has a lot more power and memory.

     

    EDIT: I gave this a try putting it on my fast 8gb computer, but it does the exact same thing over there. Hit the third lap and the program suddenly closes.

    Give the Phoenix Emulator a try. I just tried it out (Linux version in my case) and it worked perfectly. Here is the english translation if you need it: https://www.ngemu.com/threads/phoenix-project-3do-emulator-translated-into-english.191753/

    I gave this a few tries. I didn't get a time worth submitting as I was all over the place. I am definitely going to have to practice a bit. It was quite some time ago but I remember that my wife got me this one sealed. It was one of the few games I still needed to complete my collection. It was not cheap. As I play it now though I'm just glad she didn't pay today's prices because... Mario Kart this isn't.
