  1. Well this is a terrible turn of events, I was really looking forward to TxK(I read it as Tempest 10,000) on the PC, it would have been great with a Jaguar spinner controller on the PC via those new PC/Jag controller adaptors. Its really messed up this Atari got their lawyers to go after Jeff like this, he deserves more respect than this bullshit, as a matter of fact he deserves a copyright pass by Atari on this game franchise, I feel. Its quite unfortunate that in the end it all boils down to money, such is life today tho. :/ They don't want Jeff/Sony to make any money off of Tempest reiterations or new similar games like TxK, obviously. This is prolly very likely the end of Jeff's Tempest style programming, it culminated in TxK, i really liked it all too. So the only thing left to do is buy TxK from the PSN store while still available, and buy a PS Vita with the OLED screen while still available new(not the new slim Vita w/LED screen)- that will set me back about $200+
  2. Love the 1960s/70s retro style chair! Polka-dot glass goes well with it too.
  3. I watched an informative video recently on this, when the wrong polarity PS was plugged into the Jag, didn't know a sound chip is also blown sometimes too as he explains, dude reversed polarity too so it doesn't happen again(making it a normal center positive), not bad work here:
  4. Damn, I know I know! Its a letdown, can never have it all I guess, the Jaguar CD Player also in clear would have been just awesome. I don't know why they threw out the molds for it, too much for shipping to sell online i guess, I would have used them, big blocks of steel for a glass coffee table base or something at least. And then they would still be around. They prolly currently are non-existent either being melted-down or rusting away somewhere, or buried in a landfill.
  5. Sounds good!, Thanks for the info fredifredo!
  6. Ok! Sunday night here in Arizona(9:10pm) and time is short to the deadline. I have placed my order, finally! I have ordered 8x(eight) clear Jaguar cartridge shells & 1x(one) clear Jaguar console. That's: 8x cartridges. and 1x Jag Console. - I put this same quantity info in my paypal payment to: [email protected] Thanks Parrothead, I've been waiting for this for years, this should make our Jags look really cool!!
  7. Well, yeah bro -its a mod job, unfortunately. From what I read, you gotta slice off each of the four posts as close to the bottom of the case as possible with a dremel or something small and thin and then relocate each of the four posts exactly so it lines up with the hole on the other half and super glue them into place evenly and correctly, hopefully not losing any height. Other than that, the case is a go, the back being open is of no consequence. So your going to have to think about how its going to work out and use the proper tools and Crazy/Super glue. The Jaguar logo not being there is a trade off for the clarity, but something cool could always be added later. These are definitely do it yourselfer projects, doing the work slowly and a little at a time it shouldn't be a problem. They will look very cool when done, I'm sure, and I expect to see some great custom console jobs' pics in here.
  8. Well, I like all my Skunks Versions 1 thru 4 to be nekkid and in the raw, but I have some regular Jaguar cartridge(various official releases) boards(about 8 games or so I think) that I bought off someone here a long time ago that scavenged their shells, so I can finally put those in some clear cases. As such I'm considering buying 8 shells x $8.00 apiece = 64 ...perfect, lol. Then again I could always just change out those regular Jag games and put Skunks in the clear shells, since I like looking at the boards anyway, it will be perfect! - as long as the skunks don't heat up too much in the cases.
  9. Very much agreed on that ^ - The JaguarCD Player would have been awesome in translucent, its really too bad Imagin discarded the moulds for it. :( Oh well, now I have decisions to make, I think I'm a least going to get some cartridge cases, but should I get a clear Jaguar case and try to fix all the screw/support post positions?(there's only 4 tho) and hope I don't super glue it in the wrong spot and that the MoBo doesn't move around/snap a post off when I firmly press a cart in? Idk, i guess if I took my time I could do it. Doesn't really matter about the back being open though. Of course for this to be coolest the console will have to be run without the top shielding in place so all her inside parts, lol, Tom & Jerry & MC68000/RAM/Bios chip, etc. can be seen. Does anyone think it'll heat up more without all the shielding?
  10. Awww dammmnn! Thanks!!!! Fighting games are one of my top favorite genres in video games, I haven't played this before, I don't think, but I can now! Muy bien, Muchos Gracias! Senor.
  11. Yeah, it happens, I usually get occasional grinding/clicking sound from a few units rather than a high-pitched squealing and I have one JagCD that will not be fixed by soldering in a new CD Transport as it goes clickety-click-click with the old or new transport in, lol, so i have to send that one to Best Electronics soon for a hopeful repair by someone that knows how to fix parts on it other than just the basic CD transport changeout which I can do -its just 6 wires on a little harness.
  12. Kreator is a German Death metal band(Speed, Industrial & Gothic elements), they are very heavy and a bit thrashy/punkish even noisy sometimes but quite melodic, nice songwriting with beautiful guitar riffs that have exceptional sustain(when you let a note ring out on the electric guitar). I really like the band, was introduced to them by a friend in 1991 with their album Terrible Certainty. Some of my favorites albums by them are Renewal, Endorama, Violent Revolution, Enemy of God. In the mid 1990s I was listening to Renewal many times while initially getting my 1956 Oval Volkswagen Beetle shell of a car running -was great!, a classic Duetshelandic car and some of their great heavy metal. Recently been viewing some of their live performances on Youtube, like the European Wacken Open Air Summer festival.
  13. It'd be great to get Elansar on cartridge, but 20 units may not be enough for all those who want it. I was on third run cancelled too.
  14. I've completed Jaguar Wolfenstien 3D on the Extra Carnage mode, but not Maximum Death. Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, and his Generals were crazy tough with dual Gatlin rapidfire cannons in each hand, lol. Very fun though, John Carmack did a great job.
  15. I like Dino Dudes too, it's a neat puzzle game and quite challenging. Had to ask someone in the AA high score club how to complete a level(38 or something), as I must have missed in the manual that the spear angle can be altered before throwing. I also made a printed up Dino Dudes portfolio of DD stuff, trying to learn all I could about the game with net researched playtips, tricks, reviews, etc. as the PC, Amiga, and other formats UK game, "Humans (1)" is basically the same game so there was decent amount of info/reviews on it.
  16. Just Great work CJ! IK looks very fun.
  17. Wow that's really cool! Orion_ Will definitely be buying the CD version here! Love your work man.
  18. Exactly, That's prolly how he did it - cover everything except the esrb box and leave it in the sun for a few months to make it different for a top dollar eBay sale. Lol. Yes, 85.00 seems like more than that game usually fetches.
  19. Good then. Yeah it has a slightly different label, but to me the rating box looks very very light, I wouldn't put it past him trying to erase it somehow to make it "rare" or unusual or an off print and trying to sell it to the have to have everything jag fan. No worries I'm sure the rom is the same.
  20. Its a kevincal20 auction, he's trying to sucker you in with rare/unusual/misprint/no esrb rating/ etc. etc. Anything is possible with him - don't feed into his jag fan pilfering. Do not buy it! Just Don't do it.
  21. Try eBay, check it often for this, there has been two of these preservation packs with Tiny Toons in it sold in about the past two months. Good luck, and bid high - very high
  22. Nice! This is a good game.
