Here is all my research into this subject http://dmoz.org/Games/Video_Games/Console_...oper_Resources/ There is a lot more out there I am sure but this is a good start.

The only game that really comes close to pushing the Jag is Battlesphere. A lot of games look like they push the Jag because there frame rates drop horribly but its just poor programming. I really like Battlemorph for the Jag CD - it has great gameplay and great graphics for its time - I don't know how much it pushes the Jag though. Many Jaguar developers decided to use the 68000 Genesis like processor for a bunch of quick ports which is really sad because it land mines the Jaguar library with these games that are no better than a genesis version.

Thats a good question - I know there are PAL and NTSC Jaguars but are there PAL and NTSC versions of the Jaguar CD? I know that the Jaguar CD I have works with NTSC Jaguars but I have no idea if it works with a PAL one. No the CD unit does not have a box - its just the unit, power supply, and game - though the game has its cd case, overlay and its docs.

I am too lazy for eBay - i will keep this stuff posted until its gone Jag CD + Blue Lightning 60 bucks - Cost to Ship Actual (around 10). Jaguar + Controller + Cybermorph with Overlays and Instructions, Also Jaguar Box but no egg crate - RF Connection 50 bucks - Cost to Ship Actual (around 7). You can get the CD and The Jaguar Package for 100 bucks together. actual shipping around (13). I also have Rayman Mint Condition sealed plastic only opened at top to test - 25$ Doom 2 copies 15$ a piece Kasumi Ninja 10$ Zool 2 (box not in great shape) 5$ Cannon Fodder 10$ 1 S-Video Cable 15$

Someone is selling a development system on the JII board http://www.atarihq.com/interactive/messages/37794.html Jaguar Interactive II does not archive messages and the message will scroll off soon so here is the email address and message from the JII board eXtreme-Rush [email protected] here is the message Im sad to say that i have to part with my jaggy stuff. its been fun over the past few years playing these games and using the devkit, but i have car problems and i need to fix them and i need some cash. As of now im selling the devkit for $350. that includes the stub jag + alpine and controller and hookups. E-mail me about the games if your interested. Im posting this here first before i put the stuff on ebay. e-mail me if you have any questions. I would like to sell the games in a bundle rather than individually.

Nope - no one I know sells Flash Carts. They are very rare and very highly sought after items.

You take the Defender 2000 cartridge and insert it into the Jaguar cartridge slot, power the game up and have a play. There is no interface cable for the cart slot necessary to play normal games. You could not play Roms unless you had what is called a Flash Cart - and then I think you need some kind of burner - both are very rare and very expensive.

Battlesphere would not work on a CD. The CD and cartridge systems are programmed different. In order to get Battlesphere on CD the whole game would have to be rewritten.

No, Battlesphere plays just fine without JUGS. There is a bug at a super high level where you need JUGS to fix it, but I doubt you will ever get there. All the other games that are available for purchase work without JUGS.

Yup, the only version that is on an Atari System is a true statement. The Jaguar CD was the only Atari system that was capable of doing Dragons Lair, since it was the only one with a CD Rom drive.

I believe Dragons Lair was put out for just about any system that had a CD rom drive. The Jaguar version is not the only version of the game for sure.

You can buy Space War 2000 from B&C I believe.

Oh yeah, the elusive Atari Karts - I still do not have that one. I have had chances but I did not want to pay 60 plus dollars for it. Might end up having to.

Now that was a blast from the past!

That is a display disk. Its black with the eyes but does not have anything on it. I have seen a couple on eBay and I think one of the online stores sells it but I checked Best Electronics and Go Atari and could not find it. It does not have any demo on it.

Check out this thread at JII http://www.atarihq.com/interactive/messages/37792.html

Don't believe so. They did have some kiosks that were in places like Incredible Universe that were cool but they just played regular Jaguar cartridges.

I don't know if this helps but here is the Jaguar Technical Reference http://www.geocities.com/glenn_b18/jaguar/jagtrm.htm And here is a list of links to a bunch of developer resources, and I believe the programming manual is also available online but I don't have a link to it http://dmoz.org/Games/Video_Games/Console_...oper_Resources/

Did any prototypes ever get made of that Tin Head game?

Albert, the admin of this forum actually bought the prototype T'bird sold on eBay a while back.

I have a rotary controller but its not sealed off or anything, the wires are all exposed. If you find someone that can build one for you maybe that person could fix mine.

I really can tell a difference between the regular and Pro controllers - the buttons feel a lot different and the Pro Controller is just more comfortable for me. Believe it or not, the most comfortable controller I have ever used is the Logitech NUON game pad. It has a problem with the analog stick not giving full motion (I dont care for analog anyway), but it just feels awesome in my hands - I could play for days.

I like the Pro Controller. It has a better feel to it than the regular Jaguar controller. I have never had a problem with the Jaguar controller and have found the large size fit my hands comfortably.

I like Protector better than Defender 2K. I actually never liked the 2K mode and wished the plus mode would have been more like StarGate. The only part of Defender 2K that I liked was the classic port of Defender which I thought was well done. Don't get me wrong, I love Yak games like Tempest 2K but for some reason the Defender 2K just did not do it for me. I like Protector better probably because its more like the classic Defender.
