sciarpo Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Also curious about this. How do you find this game? I had it for the 5200 back in the 80's. Is it possible to find this homebrew for the Jaguar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyBuddies Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Also curious about this. How do you find this game? I had it for the 5200 back in the 80's. Is it possible to find this homebrew for the Jaguar? hey buddy, you arent the only one looking for this game, it is no longer being made ,their were 2 for the jaguar , one of them is a special edition, i know because i collect rare atari jaguar items, this game is one of the the hardest to find and i would pay up to $200 , maybe a little more, i missed its release , maybe someone will sell you a copy if you offer enough money, otherwise the chances of getting it are slim, anyone who wants to make me an offer let, me know, thanks, and good luck sciarpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciarpo Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 I'm not looking to add to a collection. I was curious about this game,since back in the day I played the game on the 5200( I liked it back in '80's when I had it) . I thought it was fun back then. When I saw it as a homebrew, I was curious if it was still out there(Jaguar version) since it is never seen on EBAY. To buy it? No. I've seen the screen versions-no different than what you can buy a complete Colecovision with the original arcade graphics for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Scavone and the 3DStooges version of Gorf for teh Jag is the ONLY ARCADE PERFECT home version out there, even beating out the Mame version. It rated #4 in RETRO GAMER'S perfect 10 for the Jag.

Oh no you did not just compare MY gorf with Colecovision screen shots. Please play both then post again.....you'll see you are very mistaken.

Gorf Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) I may re-release it anyway...Here is why...My good friend Neil, passed away Monday 2/26/2007 from Cystic Fibrosis. He was easily the most loving accepting man I ever knew. He was truly the best friend I ever had. I never met anyone who did not adore him. HE was always there for you and accepted you for who you were. He was an elder of our chuch and one who truly honored God and Christ and the golden rule. He knew what it meant to love thy neighbor. Whith that said. I will decide this week to re-release Gorf and put all proceeds to finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. I will probably charge a few dollars more this tim around, but I want to make as much money for this as I can. I want to present a check to Ruthie and Kelly(his perfect wife and perfect young daugther, it is these two I morn most for) so that thye may give it to the foundation of thier choice.

darthkur Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 ^^^ You have my condolences. It's very admirable that you'll donate the revenues to such a good cause. I will most definitely buy one. Please let us all know when they are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 As I said over in JS2, I'm sorry to hear about your pal. I think such a charitable move on your part would be very generous. Definitely put me down for a copy if you should choose to proceed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorf Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I will as soon as we figure out how we want to go about this. It might be few weeks but Im sure we're going to do it. Remember, no of you need to wait to donate to a worthy cause. Keep in mind that this could someday be your loved one with an incurable desease or maybe even you yourself. The day to act is now. Some one's life is depending on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovalbugmann Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Just as I said over at JSII, I'm very sorry to hear your friend lost his life to CF , kinda makes you rethink things I'm sure and I will definitely support a rerelease of the very cool Gorf! with a purchase. God Bless, and All the best to you and his family, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I already got one of your Gorf disks, but I think that we could launch a "gorf gift campaign" for those of us who want to contribute, while not buying another CD for ourselves. Just a thought. And, please, send my condolences to your dear friend's family. Paolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like somebody didn't read the memo. Don't they know they cant' give anything for the Jag a perfect 10? Heh J/K Me, I got my start on the Commodore 64, it's the first game I played. And it's awesome. I enjoyed it for the 2600, but It's missing the 'tempest' level, and the mother ship has no shield (or was it your player that had the shield? been to long) Anyhow, I picked one up for the Coleco, but to this day, have yet to play it. I'd find it hard to believe that the Coleco would beat out the 64 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) ^^^^ Actually it's the Galaxians board that's missing on all of the home versions of Gorf. The only one that resembled Tempest is "space warp" one. Edited March 11, 2007 by darthkur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sciarpo Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 The Colecovision has the galaxians level also. I would really love to see the Jaguar version, and if it comes back out it will be for a good cause, which makes it even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really love to see the Jaguar version, and if it comes back out it will be for a good cause, which makes it even better. The arcade machine and the Jaguar are the only versions of Gorf with Galaxians. I own all version of Gorf so I know. Coleco only has Astro Battle, Lazer Attack. Space Warp and the Flagship, like all other home versions. the sprite look very little like the game, not to mention Space Warp and flagship are awful. But none the less, thanks for your support.

sciarpo Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 My memory regarding the Colecovision is obviously rusty( I played it 20 years ago) I thought at the time it was arcade perfect. Anyway, I happily stand corrected, and hope I can get a copy of the Jaguar version and hope to help a good cause. SEMPER FI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I happily stand corrected, and hope I can get a copy of the Jaguar version and hope to help a good cause. SEMPER FI! Yeah it was one of the better but not anywhere close to arcade perfect. My story for writing Gorf for the JAguar was based on the fact that it was my favorite game, and none of the home versions were complete and did not have the best game in there. I started out writing it for several machines Iand as I started the project, CBS came along and ruined my plans. But the Jaguar was the one best suited and by that time no one else was interested in Gorf anymore... at least not from a delvelopers point of view. I vowed it would be as arcade perfect as I could get it. I think we did pretty good too. Edited March 12, 2007 by Gorf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Well, I am old enough to remember how it was at the arcade (yeah, I know, senile attack "when I was young"... ) ...and it is arcade perfect. Now, on the other side, if we could flip our TV set ... :-) did you hear me, Frog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did fix the bugs that were in there tho. Edited March 13, 2007 by Gorf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
