Gaztee Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Atari karts, breakout 2000, defender 2000, skyhammer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Laird Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) I don't see Missile Command 3D which is in my opinion the best game on the machine. You seem to be missing quite a few other Jag classics too like Ruiner Pinball, Powerdrive Rally, Protector: SE, Super Burnout and Hyperforce which is another good original and unique Jag game. I am also a big fan of Brutal Sports Football, Theme Park, Pinball Fantasies, Cannon Fodder, Dragon and Worms. Although all these can also be found on other systems too.

avanteproject Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Checkered Flag and Club Drive belong in everyone's Jaguar collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Second vote for Power Drive Rally - you're really missing out there. Worms is good but a bit of a sloppy conversion - only really worthwhile if you have a bunch of regular players and can have a properly long league. Atari Karts is definitely a good buy.

busterm Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Power Drive Rally is fun if you mute the sound. Otherwise the announcer gets on my nerves.. Personal issue I guess haha My suggestions would be Atari Kart - controls can be iffy but still fun Skyhammer - really fun game Defender 2k - whats not to love Battlesphere - awesome but gameplay doesn't justify $300+ more a collector item Primal Rage - its my favorite fighter on the Jaguar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian R. Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Absolutely Super Burnout, if you like racing games. Smooth as silk. A polished 2D game and sold me on the system when I first picked one up. I wouldn't bother with Atari Karts. It's an OK game, but not worth what you may have to pay to get it. Agree Power Drive and Missile Command are good and worth getting. Cannon Fodder is fun. Don't bother AT ALL with Checkered Flag or Club Drive. Waste of money and plastic... and shelf space...

+save2600 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Atari Karts - nope. Cute game from a collectors or completists standpoint, but really sucks comparatively (to racers you have on other systems) and not worth the bucks. $50-$75 Battlesphere - yes, if you can spare the $200-300+ for one as it really does represent one of the better values for the system. Certainly ain't going down in price Truly shows off what the Jaguar coulda-shoulda been for all games across the board. I really-really like this game. Even stands up to like-minded modern space shooters from an arcade gaming standpoint. Power Drive Rally - yep, good stuff here $25-$35 NBA Jam - but I know you don't like sports games. Still, this is great fun $15-$20 Cannon Fodder - you can play this and the sequels all_day_long on your Amiga - $10 Breakout 2000 - yep, if you can find it for less than $50, otherwise, time to get a 2600 and play Super Breakout with a paddle Come to think of it, Breakout 2k kinda sucks. It's pretty slow actually. I do like it for what it is though. Defender 2000 - yep, but for $25 or less. Great to look at for a few minutes, but you'll end up playing regular Defender much more Protector SE - by all means. This is real next gen Defender. I'd skip Defender 2k actually and just go for this. Better gaming investment - $50-$70 Ruiner - okay video pinball game, but yeah - go for it. $15-$20 Skyhammer - nope. Too slow, sloppy, choppy and expensive - $80!?! Soccer Kid - lame Amiga game makes for a lame and expensive Jag game - $70?!? Total Carnage - good game, but needs a little polishing. And still way too expensive. Again, the Amiga version suits just fine. - $80?!? Missile Command 2000 is good. Great Jag game, go for it! $25-$30 World Tour Racing - just because you have a CD ROM. May as well and you have money to burn? lol Be forewarned that it sucks compared to most of your modern PS games. Still "good" for a Jaguar racer though. Does that make any sense? lol $50-$60 Checkered Flag - just so you can see what could have been and the pain, agony and suffering we all went through as early adopters of the system back in '93. $5-$10 Club Drive - just because it's so cheap and I dunno... just because. $5-$10 Dino Dudes - I actually like this game, but you can play The Humans on Amiga $5-$10 Rayman - fun and colorful for a little bit and beats the snot out of Pitfall II anyway. $25-$40 Super Burnout - yeah, this is worth getting $10-$15 Towers II - F@#$ NO! $who knows these days Zool II - another good Amiga conversion although you might be able to play it on your system, the Jaguar version *is* better. Pinball Fantasies is better served up on the Amiga as is Worms, Syndicate, Theme Park and Cannon Fodder. $10 Now.... instead of trying to find gold among turds in the Jag library, you might want to consider enhancing some of the games you like and already have instead. Such as getting yourself a rotary controller for use with Tempest 2k. These can be had for about $50 or you can get an existing controller modded for about $35.

Brian R. Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Agree Skyhammer ain't worth the money. Never liked that game. Agree with the assessment above - slow, sloppy, choppy. And I forgot Rayman! Excellent game, even though I could never get very far into it. I could be wrong, but it's as good or perhaps better than its Playstation 1 equivalent.

I haven't taken a Jag controller apart yet, but seems you could get of VGA extension cables (splice 'em up), arcade joysticks & buttons, some wood and make your own 6 button arcade stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
