  1. Myself started with console plus IS1 plus Brutal sports and AvP. Remember to this day the initial happiness fireing up the system for the first time. Still enjoy it tremendiously.
  2. Resurgece cd together with ’master’ cartridge is to this day, I believe, the only combo delivering the multimedia experience the console sell-pitched itself to be. Excluding the image-sound-handheld control argument, that is. cudos to Carl for hard work and products served to this odd beast, the Jaguar. more in lime with the gaming experience than the production tech, I know, and I have planned to pick cart and cd for years, and one day will. For Aldo this reason, and wow what game it Seema to be! Hope you all do it. Strange killer app to strange killer console.
  3. Complete in that sense it is playable through all levels and a finnish. A poor game though. Two versions, in that one show one kind of game pannel the other another - where you can see ammo status and so on. sold first without box, then in a larger hardcase. good luck!
  4. I’m glad Jaguar wasnt released with a cd driver in it, because then none of them would work today and only few of us with nonflickery Jags would be able to enjoy the system. I have the cd addon in mind.
  5. ^ yes, good one. Nes being a complete game changer lasted for more years for sure maybe 8 to 10 years. ’Now’ the jump between Ps3, Ps4 and Ps5 is closer in time. Tech moving so fast. It is always about inovation the N64 controler being a very good example. When it comes to Jag… he he… inovation? Nice design on console, controller? Falcon one, cheap desition. Must say Jag only have charm ’today’ retrospective. I’m not surprised of that short lifespan here and now, or then (only came in contact with Jag at age of decline, when people waited for next gen or moved on to Pc and Win95). Still think atari were effective tho, cranking out apps and hardware in a shorter lifespan. Just me.
  6. What is the lifespan between the (all successful?) Nintendo systems? Nes - Snes - N64 - Gamecube - Wii - Wii u - switch ? Five years? ’86, ’91, ’96…. and so on??? Jag unsuccessful: two to three years depending how you count… what have we, 60 cranked out games? Not too bad, lol
  7. And N64 had the Nintendo factor while Jag had the…… 2600 factor.
  8. Jaguar just drowned in the competition back then when like ten systems tried to be successful at the same time. No matter how good or bad Jag was compared to the others. Two years, yes, a short time. Think N64 lasted between ’96 and 2000/2001, five years more or less. And N64 was pretty successful even tho being a cart system.
  9. Hi I got two, one 50/60 hz modded used only for carts, the second one with the cd addon and memory cart permanently plugged in. It has happened that I have linked them for Doom and Aircars in two player mode once or twice.
  10. This game will demand respect as in fear and terror. I beat first Level after Many tries on default difficulty but next levels i needed to go down to novice to beat, sorry, it’s the best ”trick” there is. I agree with other posters on details and strategies saving and using power when most needed. Music and graphics is unreal giving you a pleasant ride while dying. A must have game, for its high Level off frustration we all jagmaniacs love.
  11. Giana sisters Flood Lure of the temptress Wizard of wor 2000 Berserk 3D
  12. Jaguar is not best platform in any way, most of us know 2600 and PS4 are. And if you’d like to know the name of the best game it is called Giana sisters as it is played om any given platform.
  13. Jaguar has finally reached beyond embarassing ,bad failed system and is now cool and odd - perfect for late comer tech hipsters cashing in om the system, while being cool and different in their trend sensitive friends’ eyes. Now they are home from their IT offices working at home spending some easy earned cash on this old-new cool system. Its the way of things. And everyone know playing original carts and cds on original system is the shit, you should spend your ”i work at google” money on. One new game each day at least. Take a break from the computer to chill playing defender 2k on the fat screen tv, by rotationshastighet the Office chair 180 degrees. Peace out.
  14. Subforum or not, yeah i like that game, the animated series i got om dvd and Lost horizon is among my favorite bands, Im honest. I like all the games i got on jag cd. Maybe i can stand with it growing up with tons and tons of bad Amiga games and i Love the sucky jaguar era, its the way it is. I bought the system for brutal sports football and have enjoyed Every game i have added with a Few exeptions.
  15. Highlander rules!! Completed it first in immortal mode (code) then in mortal mode... What a day! It helps that you Love highlander animated series and also the epic track Highlander with the best band in the world called Lost horizon!! Never dubt the power of that exclusive exclusive game om jag cd. Get it and stab that sword towards legendry.
  16. Jag cd is elite today, battlemorph to the people! Songbird, look forward to campare the two versions in the future. Huge fan of the game. Will put it om my songbird to buy list.
  17. Modest collector... got two systems, for jag link play, and one cd addon, very happy about it !
  18. Maybe you already know this by now but the guide book is called ”Atari Jaguar Official Gamer's Guide” with guides to many games on the system. It’s a common item even today.
  19. Ultra vortek was programmed on a amiga 1200 I believe is mention in-game, at credits.... Amiga cd32 might have been the "amiga2" if the akiko chip was unique to the "closed system" video game console, and not inside the 1200 A computer is a "open system" a console a "closed system" but both are built as a computer on the inside. Yes, Jaguar was pretty much the next step from amiga 1200 with better graphics, great sound better capacity for 3d than amiga 1200, so why not... still a comparison between 32x and Jag is maybe more propper, both being "closed systems"/consoles. Whatever...
  20. Looks cool but seems that Saturn already beat the invasion!!! Haha
  21. Playing it right now, in my Jag CD-add on... Yes, you need to swap CDs from time to time but I still find it an entertaining experience.
  22. Yes, and you need to be two players inside the pleasure dome to collect every single piece of gold/gems together, to complete the game the "right way". A single player will not reach all the treasure by himself.
  23. I got Zero 5 like two months ago and have reached level 4 on novice, and beaten level 1 at default difficulty/normal level, a fun game and a graphix/sound wow! in the likes of Tempest and such, but to be honest I'd go for Protector SE (with Resurgence cd if you have Jag CD) since the difficulty curve seems great from YT videos and would probably give you much more fun for the dollar during x-mass holiday. It's action, but not as hard as the unrewarding Zero 5 action.
  24. Yes, love TUNE B, really helps keep the concentration at top! (The other two are kinda gloomy) Think this is more the *game* before 64-powah or other stuff, great puzzle, yes, in the vein of Zoop. Zoop is a bit too much action, and the speed curve is too fast for "hours of fun".... Loopz really gave us Jagumaniacs hours of puzzle fun!
