you can add Klonoa, Valkyrie Profile, and Rhapsody to your PS1 list. The Tales games are also climbing. Something that has always worked for me is to buy RPGs as they get clearanced or hit the $20 mark. Suikoden, Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, and Legend of Mana might not be getting double yet, but they are getting at least original retail if not more. not bad when you only spend $20 a pop.

Wasn't Robinson's Requim announced for the CD. Does anyone know if that got anywhere? Kinda liked the 3DO version.

So because I'm not all hot and horney for the Jag, I'm anti atari? Yep. That's why I own a 2600, 5200, 7800, and Lynx. Cause I HATE Atari. Doesn't this forum have an ignore function? If I bother you so much, use it.

Must suck to have such a sandy vagina.

I'm the second worst person here, and even I'm getting tired of this stuff. Let's move on.... Too turn this around a bit, I hold onto a jag for the aforementioned Tempest, but also for the homebrew scene. Though I've felt burned shelling out $60-70 for crap like Hyperforce and Towers 2, things like Native (when it seemed like it actually might be released) and Eerievale are enough to keep me interested. and i just wanted to get in before this was locked too.

I've never gotten cramped or anything from a jag controller, it's ok. My only wish would be for a little heavier plastic. I've never had a jag controller go bad on me, but it "feels" chinsy. You can twist them very easily, which most people would probably never do, but after doing really well at Tempest, and then making a dumb mistake and dying...well, the anger has to be taken out on something.

commercially in the US they (saturn and dreamcast) were failures, but in Japan not so much. Especially when you figure in all the shooters released for them (which SSX has mentioned as being his favorite genre). Believe it or not, I'm sorry to hear that you are so disappointed with the system. Yes, 98% of the games are pretty unfun; but at least, you know, the music is good.

well, at least the music is good.

I'd definetly be interested in one of these.

um, just to set the record straight, I was totally bullshitting about Highlander. That game blows...hard. So yes, the Jaguar has, in my modest opinion, exactly one great game. I too would like to see the name calling end. I'd been told this forum was more mature than that. I see that I was told wrong. In order to dissuade those that think I'm here solely to troll (which I have never done), I will limit my expression to only extolling the good points of the jaguar library, ignoring all other faults. Therefore, expect to see a lot of "well, the game has good music" posts.

thanks for making my point for me.

model 1's use the same kind of generic RF that Nes, SMS, 3dO, Jaguar, and SNES use. It's the models 2 and 3 that use odd birds.

I don't believe this news, and have a 32X, CDi, and Jaguar to prove it.

It sounds very interesting to me. I'd most definitely buy buy both modules. I've certainly paid more for other consoles that I have no interest in.

Hey, the guy was disappointed in a jag game. Where's gunstar and the other fanboys to accuse him of not being a true gamer. Also, why does the age of the games always come up as a defensive argument? As if ten years ago standards were different as to what makes a good game. Mario Kart for Snes is older than Atari Karts and blows it away.

i just downloaded them with no problem.

I'd say they are both were getting, but it really depends on if their respective libraries contain games you watn to play. They both eat batteries like they are going out of style, with the game gear (i believe) being the more voracious of the two. However, Lynx has an accessory that you fill with C (or maybe D, can't remember exactly) batteries, and that lasts a long time. Game Gear has many different kinds of rechargeable battery packs available. Lynx highlights (IMO-sad that I have to state that, but this seems to be the case on this board)) include Roadblasters, Ninja Gaiden 1 & 3, Xybots, Gate of Zendocon, Zarlor Mercenary, Rampage, Blue Lightning, Checkered Flag, Dracula, and the only arcade faithful version of Rygar. As previously stated, the Game Gear is pretty much a portable SMS with more colors. Very nice tech that easily blows most game boy color graphics away. The only thing I didn't like about Game Gear was the fact that when the action buttons are pushed, the screen is slightly affected, getting brighter or lines in certain areas. I'd say you made the right decision of not posting this on the lynx section.

I've owned a couple of these over the years. Overall, I'd say pass on it, unless you want to have an obscure machine to show off. For being "32 Bit", the games are mostly 16 bit quality in terms of graphics and sound. I found the controllers, while looking cool (to me anyway) were very uncomfortable and not especially responsive. Some of my favs were simon the sorcerer and just about all the team 17 developed games. Never played jetstrike though. Hmmm....

Never. It's just not professional.

I regularly play colecovision, sega master system, and Turbo Duo; so yeah, I'm all about modern gaming and hating on graphics from like ten years ago. I will give credit where credit is due. I will also call bullcrap when needed. The original poster posed the question is the jag cd worth it. I stated my opinion, which differs from a lot of you, so that makes me a troll. whatever.

how old would you have had to been? I was there, I saw it. What was there to blow one away? The eight colors on screen? the boring levels layout that looked the same no matter where you were on a planet? The annoying bald headed chick? Stop it.

check this out for the lowdown on that and many more hijinks. Now to get the thread back on track, yeah, the jag cd is a real waste of money.

Saturn is THE system to own for shooters. Tons of newer games, as well as all of the collections of older arcade greats like 194- and the Thunderforce games. Many, many hours of fun to be had.

wonder where you're getting those ? there are so many different titles that could be listed. It's much easier to follow companies. As a general rule of thumb, anything by Konami, Renovation, Taito, Capcom, and obviously Sega themselves is a pretty safe bet. There are far more gaiares and el vientos than there are earnest evans. Just don't buy Heavy Nova.

You should try playing it after dropping acid. It did wonders for a certain editor's point of view.
