carmel_andrews Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Due to the small library the jaguar has and the gradual releasing of some jaguar homebrews/games etc It begs the question, what games do you want to see on a jaguar that are possible on a jaguar Here's my little selection An updated version of Electraglide (with built in pal/ntsc version switcher) An updated version of Dropzone (the best ever defender rip off) Something like Armalyte or r-tpye/darius type game Sopme platformy type game in the stylee of SMB or Sonic A decent First Person Shooter (something that improves on Doom/AvP) A decent racing game...something along the lines of ridge/rage racer A driving simulator in the stylee of Hard Drivin' Anyone with anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sd32 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 With the Jags awesome 2d capabilities, i would love to see a Contra style game with over the top sprite and background effects. Contra The Alien Wars and Contra The Hard Corps each pushed the SNES and Megadrive pretty hard when it came to that regard, so just thinking about what the Jag would be capable of doing on a similar game blows my mind. Tons of sprites and background layers, thousands of colors, scaling, rotation, lightning, transparency... man that would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're lucky in your in FL, Trek... else you'd be kicked so hard in the mummy/daddy button... lol I'd love to see a Contra III type type game. Be nice to see and hear something better than what the SNES was capable of on the almighty "64-bit" Jaguar... lol Since I'm in Grand-Delusion mode, I'm also thinking I could marry Winona Ryder right about now. MMM.... BTW: Carmel - thanks for always instigating these phantasy type thoughts. lol Most your posts are "what if's"...

Gorf Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) She is adorable....even if she is a little theiving beotch! Every classic game from the 80's updated in 3D....nothing different if game play or sounds...just 3D.....Too bad it wont ever happen now. At least I wont bother anymore.

nonner242 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I totally agree with the Contra recommendation in some form. Or a Metal Slug. R-Type/Gradius styled Shootemup Robotech Flight/Mech Shooter A Good Sci-Fi Doom Shooter A Marvel vs Capcom Fighter A Lunar styled RPG A Militay Madness/Panzer General Strategy Game A Grid Defense Game A TRON game in any form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ovalbugmann Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Would have liked to of seen that Hellraiser style game on the Jaguar CD forgot the name -dungeon something? I think. Also wanted Demolition Man and Robinsons Requiem that are pictured on the back of the Jag CD Player box! Winona -definitely, always liked her. Christina Ricci too, and although "Big-Uns"(a Married with Children reference) are not at all required to be a pretty girl, she has got 'em!

You're lucky in your in FL, Trek... else you'd be kicked so hard in the mummy/daddy button... lol LOL, OK, I was thinking of something far more sophisticated given the capabilities of the Jaguar; but I know Scrapyard Dog is not the most liked game out there. How about a superhero-based platformer? Batman? Hell, the entire Justice League! Insofar as Winona, I've always been a fan of hers! It was good to see her in the new Star Trek movie, even if briefly.

Gorf Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Since we are on the subject of tiny and adorable women....(of topic mind you) Ricci is not bad but I take WR anyday over her...those eyes.... but I still like Linda Cardellini http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://joyhog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/linda2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://joyhog.com/2008/01/20/say-yes-to-linda-cardellini/&h=331&w=440&sz=47&tbnid=z4zElFGPQUUa0M:&tbnh=96&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dlinda%2Bcardellini&hl=en&usg=__Ipo_cWq8aJLDgykEl060xpn6C6k=&ei=IBVIS8_sMsbilAeHkqkX&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=5&ct=image&ved=0CBEQ9QEwBA Loved her as Velma.... a Freak Geek chick like that is right up my alley. http://jfkaps01.free.fr/Linda_Cardellini_01.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Laird Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Hmmm there are quite a few I can think of so I will split this into 2 parts. The first are Atari games I wish that had come to the Jag: Pit-fighter - There is still no arcade perfect conversion of this and its one of my all time favourite coin-ops. The graphics whould have looked great on the Jag and could have been 3-player on the team tap STUN Runner - This game would have suited the Jaguars abilities so well with shaded polygons and imense speed. This would have been even better than the Lynx version and playing Zero 5 gives a hint how good this could have been. Road Riot 4WD - Another Atari coin-op that used digitised graphics and another one of my big favourites. Would have looked and played great on the Jag would have been even better with a feedback steering wheel. Gauntlet 2 - One of the greatest games ever made, they could have just ported over the wonderful ST version and added in a few more colours and I would have been more than happy. More team tap goodness! XYBots- Not a straight conversion of the game that started off as 3D Gauntlet but a sequal that plays more like the FPS's it inspired but with the same game ideas. I love the Lynx version and a Jag version would have rocked. Edited January 9, 2010 by The_Laird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmel_andrews Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 I meant that the A8 version runs too fast (i.e the program was written for PAL a8's) hence the PAL/NTSC switcher, so that the program runs properly on NTSC machines (as well as PAL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Road Riot is pretty nice on the Falcon computer... would be really great to have a decent version for the Jaguar... maybe with 2 players head2head or Jaglink like it has been at the arcades... And of course a decent racing game like "Ridge Racer" would be such a benefit to the Jaguar´s library... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
