  1. I had always wanted a Jaguar when it was around, but my parents wouldn't let me have one as the man who worked in Electronics Boutique said they were "Rubbish and had no games"... So I ended up with a SNES back in those days (not a bad thing at all really). When I was making the move to the next gen I was desperate for a Sega Saturn, but EB man struck again (for some reason my Mam really trusted this guy) and they bought me a Playstation instead. I mean logically he wasn't wrong to steer her away from both those machines ;'-D. After still being denied the chance to buy a Jag and a load of games for about £50 in GAME I ended up buying one direct from Telegames in the early 2000's with the money I saved from my first paper round. Took me AGES to save up, but I think I paid £169.99 for the Jag, 4 controllers, White Men Can't Jump, Team Tap, Theme Park, Kasumi Ninja, Tempest 2000, Sensible Soccer & Iron Soldier. I think I even recall my parents might have had to send a cheque for it, as I didn't have a bank account. I bought a CD about 5 years ago for £550 boxed with a few games, but none of the rare ones. Contemplated selling the CD a few times when I've been skint, but just can't bring myself to separate the toilet seat from the Jag.

  2. Thanks Gaz, mine arrived a few days ago. Just got around to playing them today... I've never played either of these before, so they were a nice surprise. Can't believe how quickly the difficulty ramps up on Escape!!! Everything (including the actual building itself!) wanted to kill me ;'-D.

  3. When it was Christmas time at my old job we used to have extra members of staff in, so we used to be able to go for breaks together... I had my spare TV and Jag in the break room, so we used to always play Brutal Sports of a lunchtime. I always thought I had the advantage from years of playing it, but my friend Lucas (who never played it) would literally just obliterate my team with button mashing and win! I had to change my technique and I think we basically ended up turning it into a scrolling beat 'em up, as all we did was kill each other. Frame rate is choppy, but it doesn't matter so much when the gameplay is so much fun.
