    The Official Playstation Thread

    in Classic Console Discussion

    Posted

    Hey lads, maybe someone can help me with my question. I try to remember the name of a game I read about more than 20yrs ago in a videogame magazine. It's a PS1 game, a kind of submarine simulator. No action, no shooting, no enemies at all. Just cruising around underwater, watching fishes, that's it. Iirc it was possible to build some coral reef or so. And somewhere was a old shipwreck. 

    Someone here with an idea what I'm talking about?

     

    Thanks in advance ...

    Asteroite pre-orders OPEN NOW

    in Atari Jaguar

    Posted

    Not much time to play, but I'm currently at 41%. Beaten the "green slime monster boss" this night with my very last piece of life energy left and no missiles. Stupidly enough saved then my game ?

    Left the save room to grind somewhere health and missiles, but no spiders around. One hit = Game Over. Took me one our, a beer and probably 30 Game Over screens to make my way back to an earlier save room without being hit by something (the one with the spider cave on the left side) to grind stuff. Ready now to go back (means forward).

    Asteroite pre-orders OPEN NOW

    in Atari Jaguar

    Posted

    Got my copy (v1.4) 2 days ago and had some time today for a first test (appr. 1h).

    This is an absolutely great game (so far). Grafx, Sound, control ... all on an awesome level for a homebrew production.

    Sure ... it's a Metroidvania clone, but I like the genre.

     

    Rooms for improvement:

    The map would benefit from a higher grade of details.

    Health restore at the save points would be useful (otherwise I have to look for spiders to grind health).

    Hi everyone!

     

    Odie_one and I are hammering out the final details so he can get everything packaged up and sent to me.  There will be over 60 copies of the game sent to the US!  As soon as I've made the full payment (which is going to be over $4,000 USD), I will then ask everyone to send me payment so I can assemble the games (the boxes will be shipped flat) and ship them as soon as they arrive.

     

     ..Al

    Respect Albert for taking the risk and for all the work in the background.

    Maybe it's a driver issue. I had that too with my win 10 notebook.

     

    Might want to try the zadiq drivers, we talked about it in this thread:

     

     

    That's it ... thanks a lot for the quick help.

    Bubsy - Your opinions

    in Atari Jaguar

    My opinion ... still the best platformer on the Jaguar, right after

     

    - Rayman

    - Another World

    - Flashback

    - Pitfall

    - Alice Moms Rescue

    - Asteroite (not even played it ... but is MUST be better than Bubsy)

    - Zool 2

    SkunkGUI

    in Atari Jaguar

    Posted

    Hey guys, struggling a bit. Just wanted to use my Skunk first time since appr 2 years. The Skunk seem to work as it should. Both banks are ok, the uploaded files from long ago working perfectly fine. Since I have two other notebooks than 2 years ago I installed SkunkGUI on my

     

    1.) Microsoft Surface Pro Notebook with Win10

    2.) MacBook Pro with OSX 10.13.6

     

    I used three different USB cables.

     

    I get the Windows Tone if I turn the Jaguar on ... so the Computer recognize the USB device ...

     

    BUT ... I fail to upload files to the banks.

     

    I mean, SkungGUI is no rocket science, it worked in the past.

     

    Select a file (it's in .jag format)

    Choose a bank

    Klick on GO

     

    For a split of a second the "Sending File to Skunkboard" window appears, but disappears then immediately.

     

    Resetting the Skunk or trying to get the serial number doesn't work either.

     

    Have I forgot something? Any additional files which need to be copied somewhere?

    Hi evisu, I am a collector. I buy games to look pretty on my shelves, and flash carts to play them. I only sell games that do not meet my requirements...I keep nearly everything. I have been on a binge attempting to acquire a full collection of brand new sealed retail jag games, and also aftermarket ones. This title is my next step in that goal. 

    Buy 2 copies ... one unsealed to look at and one unsealed to play with.

    What could have saved the Jag?

    in Atari Jaguar

    Posted

    The only thing what sells hardware, is great software.

    The Jaguar had not too much of them.

    Jag only software as Tempest 2k, Super Burnout, Iron Soldier, Mutant Penguins, Defender 2k, AvP was not enough and came quite late too.

    For Cannon Fodder, Zool 2, Dragon, Pitfall, Pinball Fantasy or Syndicate (and finally not even Rayman) you don't needed to buy a Jaguar.

    Club Drive, Supercross 3d, Crescent Galaxy (and imo even Hover Strike) was finally a impudence.

    I-War or Towers II to weird (or boring).

     

    Not even the better 3DO with such great titles as WC3, Super Wing Commander, Road Rash, Need for Speed, FIFA Soccer could had been rescued ... and they had EA Support!

     

    Don't get me wrong. I like the Jaguar since I got my first one in 1994. But I was a weird kid too.

    But in all fairness ... nothing could have saved this console.

     

    But the most of us know that anyway.

    What could have saved the Jag?

    in Atari Jaguar

    Posted

    There are just a few things what could have saved the Jaguar:

     

    1.) Pong 2000.

    2.) A Super-Lynx (like the Super Game-Boy) to play Lynx games on the Jaguar.

    3.) A Power-Claw (like the Power Glove) to play gems as Supercross 3D or Club Drive not in a better, but different way.

    4.) Club Drive 2 - more energy balls, more 5-polygon cats, lower frame rate.

    5.) A Super-Jaguar-128X add-on (like the 32X) to boost the 64-bit Jaguar onto the next level, including the commitment of some video game developers to port more 16-bit games (Lemmings?, Lost Vikings?) to the 128X. You can also put the CD-Add On on top of the 128X.

    6.) A "Professional Pack", containing a keyboard, mouse, ATARI TOS on cart and monochrome monitor to upgrade the toy to the first 64-bit home computer.

    7.) Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy 2.

    8.) A SNES adapter, to play SNES games on the Jaguar. Works better with the SNES joypad adapter to use the SNES joypad on the Jaguar too.

    9.) Combat 2000 (incl. the classic VCS2600 Combat game).

    10.) Genie of the lamp (no, not a video game ... talking about the REAL Genie).

    I would like a rom also as a companion for the GameDrive I just bought. Im already in for a physical copy through the group buy, but this would let me keep my actual cart unused.

    What is a game good for if it sits unused in a box?

    Hoping for 100$ value increase in the next 3 years?

     

    Come on guys ... it's just a game. The box in unsealed anyway. Use your cart, enjoy the game.

    For playing the ROM, simply use the Genesis, SNES, MS-DOS, Amiga version ...

    The Making Of AVP (Edge Magazine Feature)

    in Atari Jaguar

    Posted

    Thanks for sharing, whenever I would have loved to hear more insights (relationship and support from Atari, facing technical challenges (e.g. the low framerate) etc.).

    When it comes to the different visors of the Predator. Nice feature in theory, but imo they didn't made any difference in the gameplay. They were no hidden switches, secret ways, invisible items or so which could be seen with a certain visor or so.

     

    When I saw the pictures in the German videogame magazines back in the 90s, I was fascinated about the graphics. I bought the game as soon as I could afforded it and had hours of good fun. But the game was even for 1990s standards not perfect. The unavoidable acid puddles after killing Aliens were a pain in the a**, the maps didn't saved progress, turning around the own player took ages.

    Other details were simply great ... the use of the maintenance tunnels, the sound effects, the graphics itself.

    Gods and The Chaos Engine coming soon to the Atari Jaguar!

    No Gods and Chaos Engine this year, unfortunately.  But the artwork is going to be redone from scratch instead of reusing artwork from previous releases.  And I'm shooting to get both of these out in spring of 2022.  Tomorrow I will be adding two new Jaguar titles to the store, though.  :)

     

     ..Al

    Thanks for the update. I'm happy to wait for such great titles. With these two games and Asteroite on top, 2022 could become the best year for Jag-Fans since ages ...
