    The compact flash is an interesting idea, from what I hear, but I would suspect that it would further distance the availability of newer games to casual Jag users. Although I suppose the only people playing their Jaguars nowadays ARE hardcore enthusiasts.

     

    If it were more versatile like a Cuttle Cart, that would be an interesting idea. But maybe it already is..

    Has anybody here ordered from Direct 4? I'm having difficulty interacting with them currently. Their mailbox is constantly full and my e-mails keep bouncing. I've won a few games from them on ebay and they say on their site that they offer a shipping discount for ordering more than one item. However, they're charging me per item and it adds up to $30 US for 3 games! I know they're located in the UK, but damn...

     

    So has anybody been granted a shipping discount for ordering more than one game on ebay or is there something I'm missing?

    Come on, the PSP is 16 years newer!

     

    They could have at least compared the Lynx 2....

     

    The complaints about the size have always boggled me. Compared to other "portables" of the time it wasn't really too much larger. The game gear was roughly the same size, the Nomad too. Gameboy and Turboexpress weren't THAT much smaller. I mean, who cares? If you're on a long trip in the back of the car and have a cig adapter hooked up, I'd rather have something a little more form fitting and comfortable.

    I think I speak for everybody when I say that if this game is as good as the movies, we're in for a treat!!!!

    I like the concept of this thread, but how about start from the beginning. Start a new thread listing 20 games. And then another listing another 20. Take the top 5 from those and put it into another 20. Widdle it down until you have the top 5 of all time. Then have the readers vote on which one of the five they like most. Tournament style...

    Good idea, but the only problem is that to get good results, I keep the voting going for 1 month before I decide whitch items that are moving futre to next voting. If I should do this with all lynx games, The big voting would take a couple of years...

     

    BTW, this voting ends in 3 days.

     

    Put all the threads up at once.. ;)

    I actually think the Jaguar is Atari's best attempt at a console system. True, I came into the Atari thing late in the game but at the time when the Saturn, 3DO and PSX were all creating noise the Jaguar always fascinated me. The marketing was at the same level as the Saturn or 3DO and technically and price-wise, it appeared like it could hold its own against the competition.

     

    What happened ultimately with the games and company is another story altogether but I think that has less to do w/ the system's potential and almost everything to do with the people running Atari.

     

    Agreed...

    Come on... how many reprints of the same game can we have? It's gotta be the most reproduced repackaged game of all time! It's time for something new! Bring on the feature length!!!!!! (and make a game out of it)

     

    From IMDB:

     

    "Don has returned to independent filmmaking with partner, Gary Goldman, establishing their new company Don Bluth Films, Inc. Based in Phoenix, Arizona they have begun preproduction work on "Dragon's Lair" the movie. Their web site www.donbluth.com will enable them to communicate directly with their audience. There are plans to expand the web site to include animation education and the sale of animation artwork. Don Bluth has been an active member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences since 1976."

    I understand the non-disclosure agreement and all that. But come on, Atari has been done for 10+ years and the 7800 has been done for 20+ years...

     

    And Greg's right. It could be anything since she was "working on an Atari 7800 game." But what were the games in the making then? Electrocop? Gauntlet? Anything else?
