I'm no Jaguar fanboy by any means, but even I would have to argue that hardware wise the Jaguar is more than "slightly" above the Sega CD and CD32.

Thea Realm Fighters would be much more interesting to me than MK3. If I'm going to have to pay a premium above current gen prices, I'd prefer it to be for something original. However, if Atariage started charging $.10 per smiley, I'm sure BuddyBuddies overuse of them could fund full licensing and development of MK3.

gunstar's melting down. The mods should prepare for an influx of "ban spiffyone" emails.

CRPG= Computer Role Playing Game, basically just another name for western RPGs.

yeah. Many CD32 users complained that most developers followed the Sega CD model of taking an existing game (in the CD32 case, an old Amiga game), adding some redbook audio and reselling the game without adding anything that would really take advantage of the extra hardware.

Ive owned one a few times over the years. It usually only takes me a day or two after I buy them again to figure out why I keep selling them. First off, the controller feels very cheap and chinsy. Until I picked up a Hyperscan controller, I didn't think it would be possible to make one as bad as the CD32. The hardware itself seemed to be pretty hardy. I never had any problems with hardware failure. Games to check out imo are Beneath a Steel Sky, Chaos Engine (aka Soldiers of Fortune on Genesis/Snes), D/Generation, Flink (also released on Sega CD), Last Ninja 3, Pirates Gold (Genesis), Project X, Simon the Sorcerer, Skeleton Crew (Genesis), and Total Carnage (SNES). I'm not a fan of first person shooters, but there were a few available, like Gloom and Alien Breed 3D. General concensus is that they are pretty framey. My biggest gripe is that it doesn't have any real killer apps. Everything is either already available on other hardware, or not good enough to justify a system purchase. With the exception of audio, most of the games aren't any more enhanced over their genesis/snes counterparts.

For what it's worth, if you have a mouse for the CD32, you can make it boot in NTSC.

The movement in Dr. Hauser doesn't look any more gimped than the movement in Highlander, and it is all real time. Which platform is more powerful? I have no idea from a tech spec point of view, but based on games, I see more textures and better frame rates in the 3DO games. Also the 3DO library smokes the jaguar in all areas but killer app. If I were stranded and could only take either a 3DO or a Jaguar and only one game, it'd be Jag and Tempest. I love me some Star Control II, but it doesn't have that "gotta play again and again" fervor that T2K does. Is it possible for this board to have a reasonable debate concerning what multi platform games were graphically better on either system? There was Doom, Primal Rage, Cannon Fodder, Syndicate, Dragon's Lair, Brain Dead 13, Wolfenstein, Flashback, Myst, and Theme Park. I know Robinson's Requiem was announced for Jag, but did it get to a beta state? I've only played a few recently, but I state: Jag Doom over 3DO Doom, no contest. 3DO Primal Rage over Jag Rage

they are thankfully still around. Unfortunately they don't include the cover discs anymore, but that's not too big a deal. I cringe every time I hand the Barnes and Noble cashier the $12 for it, but once I'm at home reading it, it makes it all worthwhile.

I just want to state that this thread TOTALLY delivers. Please, keep it up.

no. it was $69.99. The worst $69.99 I've ever spent.

Everything has sold, thanks to all!

There was quite a while where I wouldn't deal with the UK. I got burned three times in a row with buyers filing a dispute and getting their money back, even though I sent the item. One time the person wanted the cheaper surface cost (which takes 4-6 weeks to arrive) three weeks after I sent the ($80) item, he filed a dispute and got his money back. Since then I've been much smarter and more careful when dealing with international buyers, and haven't had a problem. Some of my best customers are Brits.

As you can see there is some label damage (mainly on the 's' and 'h' of shuttle), but otherwise in fair condition. Will mail via USPS Prioirity. PM or respond with an offer, taking into account that it will cost $4.05 to mail out. Added some more stuff. Will ship up to five at a time before I increase shipping charges.

ugh. I hate seeing this spouted over and over. There was no videogame disaster. There was a CONSOLE disaster, sure, but videogames were fine. People were just playing them at arcades or at home on their computers.

I was browsing through Toys R Us and nearly died when I saw Marvel Super Heroes on the shelf. With everyone clearing these out I was sure they weren't going to release it. Unbelievable.

I'll give you $500.00. CASH MONEY! (sorry, dealing with flea market all weekend has rubbed off on me)

$11.50 shipped.

Tomb Raider Legend all the way. In fact, I don't think there were any made before Legend. What are we talking about again? ( i try to put games I hate out of my mind)

will buy if still available. do you have references?

they should contact the five of us who paid full price for the PoS, and give us free games along with the whole set of cards for each game. It's sad that we all knew ahead of time this thing would be a disaster, but I would have never guessed just how half-assed this was handled. It's like they got a list of everything that makes games suck and compiled it into one unit.

it used to have a date for the PS2 according to EBgames, but the date kept getting pushed back. I bought a Wii so I haven't checked lately to see if it's still listed.

WD did make a guide. A nice hardcover. I remember bitching at EB because it was almost a month after the game came out that they finally got the guide in.

MY son really likes the Ben 10 game. it's a side scroller, not just a lame-o fighting game. I'm fairly sure there were only three games released. X-men, Ben 10, and the wrestling game (IWL). I know they announced a couple more, but I never saw them on shelves.

I picked up a bunch of the off brand GB players at TRU when they were clearancing them for $5. Based on initial tests, that was still too much to pay. The official one is so much better.
