Definitely Kasumi Ninja - from the funny voice samples to ridiculous character design. Plus, it's still somewhat playable. I kind of wish they'd have took Kasumi's characters and add them to Ultra Vortex

He was recently at the ejagfest in Germany, which could explain the delay. Don't worry, he'll get back to you.

My first console was the NES, followed by the Mega Drive. I bought a VCS when it was heavily discounted sometime in the early 90's. So the VCS nostalgia is limited for me, but I do appreciate a few games. There are a lot of YouTubers who do have a soft spot for the 2600, much more than the later Atari consoles. What I don't like however is reviewers not putting any effort in actually doing some basic research. Even tough I owned a few Nintendo consoles, I don't understand why some people glorify this company. This is a company which never listened to its fans other than requests for the next Mario or Zelda game. Region lock in 3DS? Thanks!

Atari 2600 Blair Witch Project (Hack) PC Invaders (Hack) Jaguar Alice's Mom's Rescue Ausweichmanöver Impulse X Cartridge Lynx Alpine Games + Bonus Cartridge Maybe I'll buy some more Atari 2600 homebrew in the future. I reviewed some homebrew games in my magazine, they're awesome!

Not many games, because I always owned a console (first NES, then Mega Drive)

True, but the Wii was essentially an enhanced GC, thus adding backward compatibility didn't increase the price much. PS1 and PS2 are only one generation apart. GC and PS1 games were also still on the store shelves. PS3 was powerful enough to emulate PS1 in software. PS2 backwards compatibility contributed to the high price tage of the PS3 so it was removed in later models. DS and GBA were just one generation apart, so old games didn't look too outdated There is at least a two generation gap between the Jaguar and the 2600. Atari was already being ridiculed for putting out too many games that looked like 16 bit titles. Launching a VCS adaptor together with the Jag would've diminished the Jag's reputation as a next-gen console even more. Releasing a software emulator with dozens of games included would've been ok and apparently Atari was thinking about that.

Of course the Gameboy has a homebrew community, although with hundreds of released games commercially there's plenty to play even without ever considering homebrew. There are also screen mods to add a backlight. But then there's also the Gameboy Advance SP which has a much better display and which is way more portable than both the Lynx and the original Gameboy. It was about the games, price and battery life. The Lynx didn't outsell the Gameboy in any country. There were lots of quality games on the Lynx, but the Gameboy had the franchises which were popular at that time. That's something that would've made sense later (Atari was working on a VCS emulator). But people new to the Jaguar wanted to play next-gen games, not ancient 8 bit ones.

Bah! Sorry for the bad photo quality...

The first game I bought was by Llamasoft (AMC on the C64). When he did his Space Invaders hack (Beast Invaders), I asked him if he could send me the rom, which he promptly did. His mobile games are also really good. Any chance for Revenge of the Mutant Camels on Jaguar? Not as good as Llamatron, but still a fun game on the ST/E

I got mine on Friday. Great piece of hardware and so many games to try out. Thanks for the quick shipping!

At least in Germany some vendors who were more in the Atari ST market started selling various Atari hardware (2600, 7800, Lynx, Jaguar, XL, Portfolio) when Atari emptied their warehouse. They were sold via mail order and at local Atari fairs for bargain prices.

Payment sent! Can't wait!
