    Well! This thread has been an interesting read thus far, huh?

     

    A game I'd love to see on the Jaguar would be I.K.+. I think it'd be a solid fit!

     

    Historically speaking, as others have said, a faithful running port of Virtua Fighter 1 would have been cool as was definitely within reach re: gourad shaded polygons at 30fps+. (FFL, for all its horrible, horrible (horrible) flaws at least ran decently and involved texture mapping etc.)

     

    FWIW: Ultra Vortek 2 would have kicked ass...

    I've always had a Jaguar but don't and would never make myself exclusive to it, so to speak.

     

    Unsurprisingly, my main passion is the NeoGeo. I don't own every retro console. My set up comprises of:

     

    NeoGeo // PS2 // PS1 // DC // Saturn // MegaDrive // Jaguar // 3DO // GCN // N64

     

    I own a decent amount for each. Due to the expansive libraries available, it shouldn't surprise you that my PS2 & PS1 collections are the largest in number. Just, so much amazing stuff.

     

    I have 30 games (specifically) for the Jaguar now. I only have the stuff I legitimately like and enjoy playing. I offloaded a good many games (Carts) years ago just to trim down on stuff I didn't play or enjoy anymore.

     

    FYI: Fighting Games, Shmups, Run n Gun & Racing Games are my favourite genres (I like scrolling beat em ups too) which is why I gravitate towards Japanese consoles and developers, mainly for Arcade (style) games.

     

    I love the Jag & 3DO for the diversity it adds to my collection. It's cool to fire up Defender 2000 to divert after a few rounds of Mark of the Wolves and Alien Storm. Mix it up!!!

    A nortthern lass (oo er!) from (...from?) YouTube going by the name 'Octavius' reviewed this very unit. Well, more like a physical hands on. General gist I got is that reconstructive neck surgery is required if you spent some serious time with this on ye head!

     

    That's all I have to add. Here's a link to her video:

    I have 3x consoles: 1x New /Boxed (was 'sealed' but the seal unstuck with age), 1x 50hz console and 1x 60hz console (no reason, would prefer both at 60hz btw!).

     

    No JagCD as nothing compelling enough ever released to have me pull the trigger.

    What game is that??!!! You can tell I haven't been around for a while!

    If you have a friend in the States, get them to buy it for you, then ship it to you as a gift..?

    Yeah. It's a solid thought tbh. However, shipping alone is pretty expensive and would take the game up to $100 quite easily.

     

    I'm just a little more conscientious with my spending nowadays.

     

    I guess I'll hold out for some one in the UK looking to part with theirs. I've seen they sell for a reasonable £50ish on eBay when they come up. Probably my best solution.

     

    FYI, I'd rather pay/contribute directly but on the breadline nowadays! Sorry...

    Additional questions

    Thanks Guys! :thumbsup:

     

    So, I don't have an issue with paying $70 for this game. But, I'm going to have problems re: shipping cost, import tax and, the often overlooked but not forgotten, handling fee of doom!

     

    Thus, is there anywhere in the UK I can acquire this bad boy aside eBay?

     

    Thanks all!

    Well, glad you guys took my rant in a constructive light.  Reason I want the Jag version is simple: I LOVE the Jag with capital letters, but truth be told, it has so few actual, really good games, that anyone's Jag collection always desperately needs another great game one can add to it.

     

    Very true, I can play that game on other systems, but I'm at that point I just need more good games for my collection.  How many games do you guys consider worth having (and playing) on the Jag? 10, 12, maybe 15? 1 more great game is significant in such small collection.

     

    Also the Jag version has better graphics than most other versions. And last batch RGC ran was 2013, I think 7 years is too long in the tooth for another run. Albeit small, there is demand.  

     

    Just chiming in to agree really.

     

    Another World is a great addition to the Jag library and a worthy addition to everyones Jag collection. It's a timeless masterpiece.

     

    Shame it's so limited though...

    2. Ohh, I didn't know there was a variant, I'll have to look for it. What makes it different? I know there's a few other variants, like the 1mb and 2mb Cybermorph, and a "black" and "gray" cart Raidens. Also if they count, all the "Limited Edition" versions of most Telegames releases. I may start picking some up on the side just for fun, after I have at least one version of each release game.

     

    Well, personally, theres never been anything all that compelling on Jag CD for me to take the plunge re: outlay. I admit I wouldnt mind Battlemorph, IS2CD and Hover Strike UL though.

     

    And, re: Power Drive Rally...

    I imagine this would have been the original box art but, somehow, ended up with that US Ford Sierra art too...?

    A complete set is Checkered Flag, Club Drive, Trevor McFur, Super Cross 3D and Double Dragon.  That is the complete golden turd set

    Trevor McFur is of far better quality than the others on that list. I'd replace it with Evolution Dino Dudes.

    Don't forget Kasumi Ninja.

     

    I swear that cartridge reproduces itself, like a Tribble. 

     

    I like this COMPLETE Golden Turd Set.

     

    I agree that Trevor McFur has no place in it (it's better than those stated, especially with a rapid-fire pad) and I think Kasumi Ninja is a 'cut above' Golden Turd status too (see what I did there?).

     

    My COMPLETE Golden Turd 5 would be: Fight For Life (No.1, by far), Double Dragon V (dreadful), Bubsy (sorry DoctorClu!), Checkered Flag (music is great though!), and Supercross 3D.

     

    And, I've never had the pleasure, but would imagine, had I played them/wasted money buying them, Zoop, FlipOut, Troy Aikmen, Dino Dudes could have been right up there too!

     

    Oh, Club Drive was spared as it has some fun 2P modes. 1P 'game' is pretty pointless though...

    Nice collection. I used to own a great many Jag games but pared it down years ago by, simply, off loading some less desirable and less played items (Fight for Life, Double Dragon V, Supercross, Club Drive, Checkered Flag plus more). Being a NeoGeo guy I kept some fighters ppl will likely find questionable (Kasumi Ninja & Ultra Vortek) but they're all part of that Jaguar experience! I have a bit of a thing for Dragon too I'm afraid.

     

    I would consider, as others have said, the complete set to be the original retail releases really. You can be flexible with some of the Telegames stuff too I suppose?

     

    Some observations of the photo depicted:

     

    1. You have a Jag CD and presumably some games, but theyre not in the photo?

    2. Arguably, there are 2x variants of Power Drive Rally to consider. Personally, I favour the version you haven't got in the photo.

    3. What's game to the right of Iron Soldier? Do you have the Cart release of Iron Soldier 2? Not sure if it's considered part of the 'set', so to speak?

    Ive been out of the loop for bit (child rearing, she's 4 now... time flies!). Clearly, I have missed some bits but Last Strike looks fun and promising!

     

    I was going to chip in with 'needs rapid/auto fire' but spotted it in the options! If only Zero 5 and Raiden had implemented such options, eh?

     

    Glad to see the good work is still being done. Thanks guys!

     

    Erm, side note: Is Rebooteroids still available? Still produced/stocked etc? Would be cool to grab a NEW Jag game! Cheers.

    Hey everybody,i was watching a promo demo that atari made in 1993 for the jag,various games appeared but one in particular caught my eye...

    attachicon.gifAJPD.png

    does anybody have info about this one? it looks cool.

    oh and here's the promo tape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENUBFslCpi8&index=52&list=LLYnhP5JPQigOaH_elq1TsPw

     

    I don't think it's 'anything' tbh. Just a quick demo to demonstrate the Jags abilities to handle multiple layers of scrolling etc. Same with that Raiden demo before it. Just a super basic proof of concept...

    As the title implies, I'm wondering if they are still alive and kicking. Seeing how used product on eBay these days is getting a little out of hand, I'm thinking about ordering a NIB game or two from them, assuming their prices are up to date (last update on the Jag stuff shows October, 2015). Can anyone confirm? Worst case I can just shoot them an email, but I'd rather check here first.

     

    Yeah. They go by 'MyAtari' on eBay btw. Not sure which would be cheaper/easier for you: eBay or buying directly?

     

    I've imported from B&C in the past. Games arrived in perfect condition due to being really well packed. A massive 'deal' for me when it comes to buying 'boxed' games :)

    Regardless of how sh*t Club Drive may (or may not?) be, 2P Powerball collecting is great fun. Especially when trying to scramble up that ramp to get up on to the table, only for you both to overshoot the table and fall off, just to start the scramble all over again!

     

    Honestly, the premise is so simple, ANYONE can have fun with 2P Powerball...

    SO...

     

    I have to ask the question: is this likely to make it to Jag Cart in future? :)

     

    This is the one I voted for in the poll and the game I wouldn't even hesitate in buying!

     

    The game is immense. Even MORE immense when plugged into and played on your Jag!!
