evisu

I e-mailed the producers, but didn´t got any response (as expected). I agree with CJ. It´s a pity, that in a small community like Jag-collectors some people take the chance to buy copies only to make money of it ... but that´s life :/

Tried this today the first time ... wow, really fun to play. And the Voxelgraphics are amazing! Thanks for sharing this. Amd yes .. a cart release would be great

And that´s exactly what I am afraid of. IF the start is successful, the console will be sold in retail stores as well and I can still buy one. So long i keep the money ... edit: What´s about a Atari Jaguar Mini Classic Console with 20 pre-installed games*? THAT would be great! *Cybermorph, Dino Dudes, Raiden, Iron Soldier 1+2, AvP, Atari Karts, Rayman, Battlesphere, Mutant Penguins, T2k, D2k, Breakout2k, Missile Command 3d, Fight for Life, Kasumi Ninja, Protector, Towers II, Checkered Flag, Doom

Was really thinking about to preorder ... but nay ... it´s a great looking console, but just for playing old VCS games and an updated version of T2K I´m not willing to pay that money.

Life´s too short

Know what you mean ... but honestly: I would prefer much more to play Heretic on the Jag than Supercross 3D or BlackOut. But yeah ... if I really want to play it, I just start DosBox.

MI2 was on 12 disks ... MI1 on just 4.

Jesus...sounds like a sad song :/

So ... almost 2 years later and no update ... project is officially dead?

Ok, got it ... seem to be a little bit more complicated.

Does the CD ROM have any additional chips or hardware to support the console? Why I am asking is ... if the CD add on is simply a CD drive ... would it be possible to convert an old external PC double speed CD ROM into a Jag CD ROM? Of course a adapter cable (cartridge slot to CD ROM) would be needed ... but if this would be possible, it could be a chance for everybody to play CD games.

I paid 150€, if I remember correctly ... but this was back in 2010 maybe, 4 years before I sold my third Jag-collection (and the CD). I remember, I was absolutely disappointed. Not only by the games ... but this part feels cheap. The button to open the lid, the feeling if you push it in the cartridge slot ... For hardcore Jag fans and collectors the CD might be a useful addition. If you´re a Hover Strike Fan, you get some additional levels in Unconquered Land, you get the better Iron Soldier 2, RPG fans can have Robinsons Requiem, shooter fans get (fingers crossed) Soulstar and Battlemorph.But well ... yeah .. that´s it. The rest are more collector items than good games. There´s no need for an average player to spend this money. Better buy some good carts. And I believe, we are on the top with the prices ... I can´t imagine that the prices for Jag CD´s are going that much higher ... but on the other hand I believe too, that the prices will stay high and flat for a while.

Just voted ... would be happy to pay 40Pounds (or even more) to see Soulstar on Jag.

1. how many jag cd's were made and sold / around 20.000 as far as I know 2. best / worst selling games / Best selling: Blue Lightning and Vid Grid most probably ... because was for free in the box 3. best / worst games on the system / Best maybe IS2 / Worst quite sure Highlander 4. key stats on the console / --- 5. key trivia and fun facts / There´s no fun fact about this add-on. 6. reasons why it was delayed, reasons why it wasn't successful / Maybe because the Jag itself wasn´t so successful ... 7. personal views / stories on the Jag CD / Had one years ago. But exept a few homebrews and Battlemorph (IS2 is available on cart as well) there´s no reason to have one. And for the homebrews you can use a Skunkboard. (Of course, collectors really NEED a Jag-CD.) 8. views on current ebay prices, what may happen in the future? / The prices at ebay will never stop increasing. In approximately 2 or 3 years the last working Jag-CD will break the 1mUSD mark. Followed by the ProPad for 725.000USD and the Chocolate CD for 716.000USD.

Tell me more about "the cool factor of owning one genuine Atari Jag Pro" ...

Nice interview, thanks for sharing.

I tried now for the first time the Native Demo (used Skunkboard) and I am really impressed. This title had the fair chance to become the best Jag-Shooter. Yes, there´s no music so far, yes, the collision detection with the bonus objects doesn´t work ... but bloody hell! This graphic would suit a Neo Geo well, never expected, that the Jag is able to go so far! What a pity, that the work on this game have never been finished.

Yeah ... I know. But that´s what I mean ... HDMI output on the console itself would be much nicer. So you have another box on your desk.

Talking about Jaguar-mods ... what make me wonder is, that nobody (?) came up so far with a HDMI-mod. I mean ... NES, Mega Drive, even the VCS have been modded. Should be possible (not for me!) to implement the technical stuff from a RGB-HDMI converter into the Jag-body, isn´t? And much more ... in the time of 3d-printers ... should be possible (and again ... not for me :/ ) to make a improved Jag case with a integrated dust cover for the cartridge connector.

Ahhh ... so maybe two games on one cartridge? International Karate+ Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters?

It´s so funny .... I was thinking today. "Hmmm ... could a 68010 or 68020 make the Jag faster?" Seems, I am only 13 years to late for the idea itself.

Sorry ... need an extra hint :/

Hmmm ... something with "Worlds"?

Beginners mistake :/ Sorry, you´re absolutely right. Thanks in advance for your effort to bring this item (hopefully) to the community and sorry for my (stupid) question

I´m to lazy to read 56 pages of text .. so, is there a a pre-order list, where I can put my name on?
