Gunstar, don't get me wrong, I have heard. I have been trying to figure out the fourth level. Like, how do you kill that computer core with the barriers that hover around it? Any hints to the fourth level would be appreciated. How many levels have you seen or played at this point Gunstar? Nice to know it clears back up after the fourth level.

You know, I like Collin Street Thift, but yeh the place is messy and in the past they seemed to have little more and old Apple stuff. May have to check this out soon. And there is ALWAYS Trader's Village in Grand Prarie every weekend, and First Saturday in Dallas once a month. A gamer could go broke in Dallas. Oh wait, I am.

Kewl!

Some games have a learning curve. Once you get good at them, or get the right set of cheat codes, they are great! Got Defender 2000 and Protector. You know what, never really cared for Defender style games. LOL! But then I never cared for Tempest until I got Tempest 2000. Defender 2000... good in class ic mode, the rest is eye candy that you nearly have to play by Radar. It is true that Protector is more playable. I guess that is a fine distinction... are they hard games, or do they just suck? Used to think Skyhammer sucked. But then I got the hang of it, and it was fun. I play Bubsy, a game commonly believed to be a sucky game, almost every day and love it. But I've been at Bubsy for nearly five years now. Just play for fun. Need to finish the last three levels.

For audio these days I have some nice Harmon Cardin Speakers I picked up from First Saturday here in Dallas for cheap. Listing to a CD through them now as we speak.

Yeh the one off of Abrams... awesome place I have found. Hey, you a Jaguar gamer as well? We should get together an game sometime.

Well, finally got Soul Star working. It was fun for like the first three stages, and yeh, gets flakey after that. But what fun! If you have the complete copy of this and are reading this, please get this wrapped up and released somehow. Man what a lot of fun!! Love the music on it. Anyone know where I can get the music from that if anyone ripped it yet? This also proves one think I didn't think was likely.. that the CD bypasses between Protector SE and Battlesphere Gold are not created equal. Hmm! Who would have thunked.

Thift Town is perhaps the coolest charity store I had ever been to in Dallas. People drop off stuff, and they make no bones of selling them. Everything!! So I picked up my 6 switch Atari 2600 in the box from there, saw a portable Commodore 64, and now this vga converter. So think of whatever charity store they have in your area that has no quams carrying electronics. The JAM!! works quite good. Was watching the JagAds on a VGA monitor last night. I'll keep an eye out for more of these.

So who has tried a JAM!! box or something like it on the Jaguar and what did you think of it? I was at a Thrift Town and saw a device that had Audio and S-Video in and VGA out and I thought "Hmmmm...." worth a gamble for $2.99. So took it home, made an educated guess on the power supply (which it didn't come with) and was elated to see the HUGE Atari Fuji and startup Bubsy music as it was displaying on my VGA monitor. Had to adjust the edges a bit, but was pretty sharp. Bigger screen if nothing else. What did you think of the Jag on the VGA screen? I'd have to say that in some cases... awesome, and in other cases, a little too much detail. But what was your experience and what VGA converter did you use? Little blurb on JAM! http://www.streettech.com/archives_hardware/jam.html

Ah yes. Well, I have taken the advice of a earlier message here, and it was a good enough reason to get Protector SE, which I have been hedging towards for some time now. We'll see how this goes.

http://www.geocities.com/doctor_clu/cybermorph.html The above talks about my love for Cybermorph, and how I loved hearing Skylar's voice that whole week till I picked up Bubsy. (Are you starting to see why I liked Bubsy? It was kinda the first game I got that I considered fun on the Jag.)

Either it scrolled off the data base or... "Invalid Item The item you requested (3060017272) is invalid, still pending, or no longer in our database. Please check the number and try again. If this message persists, the item has either not started and is not yet available for viewing, or has expired and is no longer available."

As it stands Gorf 2000 will probably be released in like 2012 at the rate they are going. You really want to wait around that much longer for Sinistar 2000?

Game question for Skyhammer... what conditions are needed to take over a area of enemy space? In some cases I destroy the node and then the region is mine. But in other times I destroy time after time and it just rebuilds. Thanks! Doctor Clu

To me, the best products of Songbird are... well Skyhammer, I own this one, and though it took a while, I am finally addicted to it. Protector SE has been said to be the most fun game for the Jag. I'll see since I just ordered it. And the Jag-Ads CD sounds like a nice addition. Good stuff! Next stop for me will be Hyperforce! Soccer Kid... glad it's out there. Might one day...

There was a US JagFest? I haven'tr seen any word around about it, and I read here and JI2 faithfully. Where else is this "Tour" going to hit? Doctor Clu

Well, in 1986 I was hitting BBS's with my upgraded Atari 400. Now if you want, I can tell you about all the internet surfing I have done on the Atari 800 and Atari ST/TT from 1999 to current. Take care! Doctor Clu

My favorite games... Tempest 2000 Doom Pitfall: Mayan Adventure Battlesphere Skyhammer Bubsy

Ok, I need help with my copy of Soul Star... I have a good working base and CD unit. I use Battlesphere Gold to use as the CD Bypass. Other CD bypass games work. This copy of Soul Star worked on the machine of the person I got it from. However, when I try loading this game on my setup, all it does is load for several seconds (close to ten) and then I get a black screen. I'll sometimes see some static horizontal lines for a flicker, but a black screen. Is it possible that certain Jaguar models don't work with Soul Star? Can someone with Battlesphere Gold try that bypass and see if they can get their copy of Soul Star to work. Thanks! Doctor Clu

I'd buy... what's the price? $150? Sounds good. (Or whatever the price comes out to be.)

I believe someone said once that Double Dragon 5 was a port from the Sega 32 or Genesis? Am I correct in that? I also hear of ports from the Amiga, and a few others. To matter the fact, I would love to learn what it took to "port" these from various systems, and what systems have been ported from. Emulation is nice, but the Jag "Dunna have the power cap'tain!" So we need programs changed to work in the Jag. I hear of a lot of games that were pulled from other 68k systems for example. Were these simply ported over, using primarily the 68K, and then told how to display visdeo and changed so the Jag controller would work? Been wondering this for the early Arcade games that used the 68K progrocessor, and there were a few. Wondering what it would take for a little mini-mame that would run those that were run on the 68K. (I think Joust sadly was run on a 68030.) Anyway, thoughts?

Well, I will have to check out this games magazine. Last issue I picked up that talked about the Jag was GameFan magazine when they talked about Battlesphere and Hyperforce. Honestly, when you consider the gaming power of current systems, the fact that the Jag is still mentioned at all is remarkable. I wonder honestly why that is? I mean the Jag is a awesome system and all, but even the SNES and Sega Genesis are unfindable at GameStops these days (I know since I was trying to collect and play the other Bubsy titles). What would possess a magazine to feature the "ill fated" Jaguar in this day and age?

For those few that have Soulstar, have you been able to load it with the Battlesphere Gold CD bypass? Basically BS Gold is the only bypass I have to try, so I would love to know if anyone else has gotten it to work. Thanks! Doctor Clu
