  1. You're making a reference to Airplane!, aren't you? I approve.
  2. This is fucking awesome, man. Great to see that it has a proper title now. Looking forward to when it's released.
  3. LMAO! I have no idea, but.... Damn! Volcana's pure fire. Were there any pics taken with Buzzsaw?
  4. Not to just jump in here, but I love Ultra Vortek. Visually, it's like an Iron Maiden album cover come to life. Control wise, I'd sooner compare it to Virtua Fighter for it demands more precision than Street Fighter II. The music, 90% of the time, is fantastic. Heavy metal/industrial sound. The finishing moves are awesome! Just as over-the-top as Mortal Kombat, but with more of a sci-fi edge. Unlike Kasumi Ninja, you can't really 'jump kick' your way to success, excluding the final boss. He has no legs and jump-attacks are best served here.... Long and short, I'd say it's worth a try. I enjoy Kasumi Ninja in spite of its many - MANY - flaws, but Ultra Vortek is what I grab when I want a polished game with legitimate challenge.
  5. I forget where I read this (possibly HardcoreGaming 101) but it's been said the creator of Another World didn't care for 3DO remaster either, though I'm not sure how accurate that is. I like 'em. Wouldn't want it to be my only option, but still. As for Thrusty, it's lookin' damn good. Very cool to watch how the project's evolved since that first test video. Wish more developers did this.
  6. Would've liked to have seen an update of Combat in the vein of Defender 2000. Digitized sprites for the background and tanks. Make a single-player mode so you can go up against computer controlled opponents. Provide a variety of tanks (I'd say at least four) with differing 'armor', 'power' and 'speed' stats. Include hazards like exploding barrels, pits of acid or flame, and road spikes. Power-ups that provide temporary invulnerability, speed boost, weapons boost, etc. Vibrant explosions. Also, rotary support.
  7. Perhaps. After having played the Genesis, SEGA CD, SNES and 3DO versions, Jaguar still looks the best of them all. Resolution's better and colors are a pinch more vibrant. Jaguar makes the rest look muted and soft. I mean, if it could have looked better - something a kin to 3DO's remaster of Another World - I'd be all for it. If I have any complaints with the Jaguar port it's the odd bit of slowdown in certain parts (SNES had a similar issue) and music's been shuffled about (again, much like SNES). Otherwise, it's the version I play the most.
  8. Accurate. @CyranoJ That reminds me, are these sprites 'final' or place holders? Forgive if it's been mentioned already.
  9. @Sporadic Dude, the work you guys are doing with Doom is phenomenal. You already know I'm loving the progress you've made with NotOutrun and Crumbs. I know you're gonna' knock this shit out the park.
  10. True, though I'd accept it, just as I accept Virtua Fighter on 32X. Doesn't live up to its arcade original, but it's still a blast to play. Kind of the same for T-Mek.
  11. It's either/or. I don't know. I'm not a coder. Does it really matter though? Say it's possible, then great! Who would do it? It's T-Mek. Haven't encountered too many people crying out for that one.
  12. The only title on 32X I'd wanna' see on Jaguar is T-Mek. It's an Atari game for one, and the Jaguar would allow for link-play. Not that I have anyone to enjoy that with. Still, it would be nice. As a few have already pointed out, porting would undoubtedly be difficult or outright impossible. In any case, T-Mek with Jag-Link functionality would've been cool.
  13. In my opinion, seeing as how it came out well after the system's demise, I wouldn't consider it an "official release" really.
  14. I like Atari Karts, but the power-ups are kinda' pointless unless you're going up against a friend. When playing alone, didn't feel like they had any impact on other racers. It's enjoyable, handles well, looks pretty, and sounds good. Still, best played with a friend.
  15. I have a re-production of Gold. It's a reasonably fun game, though I feel it's definitely one of those titles meant to be enjoyed with a friend. Otherwise, there are more exciting games to play by yourself (Alien vs. Predator, Tempest 2000, Ruiner Pinball, Flashback, Attack of the Mutant Penguins, and so on). Would love to link-play this someday, just for the experience.
  16. Yes, an arrogant presumption indeed, considering it's a Facebook promotion. I'll gladly accept that dunce cap, sir. In exchange, please accept this Snickers bar.
  17. Well, we all know where Top Hat gets his Jaguar information from these days.
  18. That too is valid, though has little bearing on the video or how Jenovi presented it. As I said, boxes are clearly not legit mock-ups created by those involved with development, and the game footage was tagged.
  19. Not if people are actually paying attention to the video. For example, the two games mentioned here. The box art is clearly a fan-made mock-up since neither title made it very far in development. Hence, no box. Also, the game footage is tagged with its source. If people have difficulty reading, or employing any kind of common sense, that's hardly Jenovi's problem. Besides, people are quite capable of creating more rumors and fairy tales without these videos. Just watch Laird's Lair or Top Hot Gaming Man. They're living proof.
  20. I'll totally vouch for Jenovi. He's far more meticulous with his research than I am, and he's too damn busy to get involved with...certain people.
  21. May wanna' try Facebook. There's tons of folks on there dying to get their hands on more Jaguar games. The bright side is you can use PayPal and it costs you nothing to make a post. Unlike eBay, Facebook doesn't expect you to give 'em a taste. Look up "Atari Jaguar" and you'll find a bunch of groups, a market place, and so on.
  22. *turns and faces you* "You're hilarious. I can't believe this..." My favorite line is, "Yeah, I liked it. She made me wanna' go out and buy rubbers right now." LOL!
