    [ I dont know much about its hardware even though i own one (i play it in black and white because its a PAL system, and my TV is NTSC, and there are no PAL TVs over here in Mexico, sob).

     

    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

    As far as i know they are still making RetroGamer but i havnt been to the book store in a very long while so it might be gone now.I hope not that was a awesome mag.

     

    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.

    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. :)

    3 - Pissing off the third parties from day one

     

    There's no denying that Nintendo brought the videogame industry back from the brink of disaster.

     

    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.

    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.

    So did you even own a Jag ever?
    Why is this a prerequisite for having an opinion?

    :roll:

     

     

    I've never driven a ferrari, yet i am of the opinion that it is fast.

    I've never dropped acid, yet I'm of the opinion it messes up your perception.

    I've never been in space, yet I'm of the opinion that it would be cool.

    I've never been to Rome, yet I'm of the opinion that it would be historically interesting.

    All that is true, but how can it be if I've never done any of those things?

    Why is this a prerequisite for having an opinion? What is this biased media jag fans and conservatives always cry about? For every EGM review you can point me to that undeservedly bashed a jag game, i can point you to a GameFan review that undeservedly praised one.

    The system has a handful of decent games, and many mediocre games.

    There's not really enough incentive to own one based on those facts.

    To me it is worth having for Tempest 2000 and Tenpest 2000 alone, but that's just me.
