I wonder if it had sound/music. If it were a prototype in the early stages I wonder if the cart had that extra chip Pitfall 2 requires for music.

This is the original 1983 Vestron Video release. The new release has replaced the original poster artwork.

To me the best opening cinema is whichever is the shortest and allows me to skip past it with a press of a any button.

I know that. He was claiming it wasn't possible. All I'm saying is that it is. The person playing the game doesn't care HOW it was done.

Untrue. The CV can scroll smoothly, as long as you observe the system's limitations. Moon Patrol and Nova Blast are two examples of smooth horizontal scrolling. It doesn't seem to have as much of a limitation with vertical scrolling. C'mon now. Sure, with some creativity you can get limited, minimal smooth scrolling, but if you need to support sprites and a detailed, full screen scrolling background, compare CV Tutankham to Metroid, Ninja Gaiden, 1943, SMB, or Elevator Action. Or just compare Bump 'n Jump for both systems. Don't talk until you've actually played Moon Patrol or Nova Blast on the CV. Moon Patrol has smooth scrolling plus 2 or 3 layers of parallax in the background. Why would I choose a horrible example like Tutankham to compare to SMB? I've played Bump n Jump on both system. And....? What's so special about the NES version, other than it's complete lack of arcade accuracy?

Yeah, I know it's out on dvd. The DVD is shit, read the reviews. The transfer is way too dark. Starring Joe Don Baker (Cape Fear, Fletch, Tomorrow Never dies) and Jon Gries (LOST, Napolean Dynamite, '24') Topless girls playing Pac Man and other assorted teen sex comedy wackiness. Comes in the original box with original artwork. $9.99 shipped in USA

I'll buy it and use it to make Short Circuit 3, a low budget hard-core porn movie. Universal will buy the film from me for millions just to keep me from releasing it.

There was a game called that but it had nothing to do with the Jag version. I don't know how they got away with using the same name.

Baldies, Attack of the Mutant Penguins(as just 'Mutant Penguins') and Flip-Out were also released on the PC. There's also the Iron Soldier games on the PS and Nuon.

I felt it paled in comparison to DOOM, which was out at the same time.

The one auction I attended it was 300 tards all in bidding wars over common stuff like Ms. Pac Man, Galagas, Defenders, bidding it up to dealer prices and no one bidding on lesser known pieces. I mean good cond Carnivals, Kickmans, things like that going for $25 opening bids. Everyone just sat around saving their money for the Frogger/pac man/galaga auctions.

Untrue. The CV can scroll smoothly, as long as you observe the system's limitations. Moon Patrol and Nova Blast are two examples of smooth horizontal scrolling. It doesn't seem to have as much of a limitation with vertical scrolling. I'm not saying the NES isn't superior. Just that it isn't as superior as it seems when you compare games that only use the NES hardware as opposed to games that have the benefit of MMC and LSI(Konami) chips.

No. They only made around 250-260k AvP carts. There were about 350k Jags made, of which probably the last 50k were the ones liquidated online and through Kay Bee. But those Jags were liquidated long after Avp was released. AvP is a high value item because there's this internet hype surrounding it as some Jag must-have. Personally, I think the game blows. It certainly isn't rare, even by Jag standards. By the time they were being blown out at KayBee, Atari was out of business, sold to JTS.

As far as the NES being superior, peoples views of what the NES hardware can do is greatly skewed by all the co-processor chips they added to their carts over the years to expand the systems capabilities. If you look at the early NES games that just used the NES hardware, they aren't that impressive and don't look better than most CV games. The NES could only do 16 sprites before it started flickering like crazy, the CV can do 32 at once. The NES needed another add-on chip to handle more sprites, help with scrolling etc, etc..

Near the end when they were blowing out thousands Jag systems for $50 online and at Kaybee Toys, those people weren't buying AvP, it wasn't widely available then. It would've been mostly the early adopters. A lot of people probably sell it seperately because you can get a good amount for it.

Yeah ... I was *pumped* about that idea when it was discussed. I had just got my Lynx+4 games deal and was saving up for my Jaguar. The think was supposed to be a tricorder or something. Alas, didn't happen. The Lynx was quietly killed off, the feature wasn't in the released game and that was that. Still loved AvP though. Dated now, but pretty damn cool back then.The licensing must have been really expensive ... I was always surprised that Atari didn't make it a packin instead of Cybermorph for Christmas 1994, before the PSX came out. My gut feeling was that they couldn't really afford to do so. I read that they sold somewhere around 250k-265k AVP carts(according to Rebellion). You never saw many AVP carts being blown out with old stock because they had sold out at the original retail price. Atari would've been dumb to give away an expensive cart that was it's best seller. If you look at the number of Jags supposedly sold or manufactured, AVP sold at almost a 1 to 1 ratio.

It might just be that it's untested with PAL so he doesn't know if it'll work. Is the BIOS different on a PAL system? I don't see how just changing the BIOS would affect anything negatively.

War Games and Tarzan were both ported from the CV originals. Neither were arcade games. I've seen a Smurf game but I don't know if it's the same Smurf game already mentioned.

They were selliing Lynx bundles with games in Electronics Boutiques as late as 1996-97. That's where I bought my first Lynx.

I used to see 126 in 1 type GBA multicarts on ebay all the time. They were always from sellers in the UK. They mostly consisted of the same 'ol, same 'ol NES games you see on every Famiclone with a couple hacked GBA games thrown in. Apaently you can find these for sale in most any city that has a Chinatown game store/toy store.
