the.golden.ax Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I think there are alot of people that owe Carl an apology for bitching about the 'extremely high cost' of Total Carnage, but are here ecstatic about spending $80. Songbird lists $89.95 for Total Carnage... No matter: I never have complained because I figure it you can put out any kind of Jaguar game at all you're doing a lot better than I am. Under $100 for a cart-based game seems reasonable to me; all I ask is that it be fun and pack a lot of gameplay! I can't speak for everyone, but I had nothing against Carl on the Total Carnage price tag. What I had was a problem with spending that much for a game that was already on SNES, and Arcade, just to make a greedy company a little extra profit (Midway). And, I'm guessing they got $10 per (or more) in royalties at Midway for that release. Personally I couldn't afford it when it came out, I can't recall if I bitched at the price, but it was certainly nothing against Carl F. he is a good dude. I'm happy to buy homebrew and new games I have never tried, 2 to 1, over re-released games on another platform... that said, I'm still interested in cross platform... just not -as willing- to pay "more" for it on another system. $80 is a fair price for a Jaguar new release, no matter what it is, regardless of popularity or where it came from.

STGuy1040 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) $80 isn't expensive. I think there are alot of people that owe Carl an apology for bitching about the 'extremely high cost' of Total Carnage, but are here ecstatic about spending $80. Congrats on the release, I hope it's a fun game. I did appologize about a year ago when I realized just how much these would cost. I had no idea....it does suck though....we released Gorf at a great price due to the CD format. Carts just cant offer that cost effectiveness. SkunkBoard would greatly solve this issue. The Skunkboard would solve this issue but I love having a cartridge in my collection! I will use it as a development tool; but I won't release anything on it. Other than some demos! I think the Skunkboard is a great invention but I am happy to hear this. Edited May 5, 2009 by STGuy1040 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 FireFox allows it and for some reason I am assuming it is explorer that is not working. "For some reason"? Does nobody read my posts? I've already covered both the cause (you guys are using cookies that violate the default privacy settings of IE7+), and the cure (lower the privacy setting from Medium to Low to perform the transaction).

The Skunkboard would solve this issue but I love having a cartridge in my collection! I personally would rather make carts but the skunkboard is safe too. It also allows for extensions to games. A USB setup where one could DL add-ons to games via one of the small usb drives. Plug that sucker in the skunk and upload the main executable. Could have merit for games like Doom using the usb with hubs to network or even Wolf 3D could be re-engineered to allow deathmatches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Jaguar is 64-bit. Please go read the FAQ for the Jaguar. Wow, you hardcore Jag guys really don't have a sence of humor... Hyper just got upset with me for saying you can get VD from a Torrent... Yes, it was a joke... and so was this, PLUS I didn't bring it up (the Jaguar 32 bit thing). Is it me specifically, that you just don't want to take humor from... or is it really a lack of a funny bone around here? [rhetorical] I bought my copy of Mad Bodies... and just because I'm not on JSII doesn't make me less of a Jag fan. I'm aware of the specs.

+thanatos Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Anyways... Back to discussion of Mad Bodies! So, considering the gameplay, does this game support a rotary controller? I'm guessing no, but it would be really damn awesome if it did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I see there are already two posts about possible usage of the rotary controller, but no answers yet. Hence, I am a little anxious about it. I have a ratary, too, and it would be *great* to use it on a new game. So, Terance, k3v, Steve, Scott, give us this news!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
