Impulse X

[82-T/A]

Just giving a bump for this game since it's so awesome. Matthias says he still has several carts and CDs available (have to order from his German store I think).

 

Well worth it... hands-down, one of my favorite games for the Jag.

[classicvidgamer]

Yeah great game. I bought both recently from Matthais. It's a bit difficult to play with standard jaguar controller though. So I'm interested in purchasing a mouse for my Jag.

 

Can anyone tell me if the mouse on the eBay auction below will work on a Jag?

If it really is ST compatible (according to the description it is), then it should work.

 

Maybe you know this already, but don't forget that a mouse->Jaguar adapter is required.

My favorite recent and new Jaguar game.

this http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=88

along with the mouse to jaguar adaptor which is only a couple of wires connecting the pins described in the back of the impulse manual (parts can be obtained very easily on ebay) will allow you to use a pc PS2 mouse on the game i use an optical mouse most of the time.

 

NOTS: This draws more power than the jag joypad port is rated for but it works anyway.

Thanks I did not know I would need a mouse to Jaguar adapter also.

I'll definitely be on the look out as I'd really like to spend some time with this game!

Yup... from here: http://sales1632.myzen.co.uk/acatalog/16_32_Webshop_Jaguar_CD_Games_77.html

 

The site does look like it's from 1995, but he has a ton of stuff, including all of Orion's games too. I think he's the only one with any copies of Impulse-X still in stock.

Hello all,

just want to let you know that the cartridge version of Impulse X is no longer available, but you can get the game still on CD, as well as Double Feature #1.

 

Kind regards

Matthias

Alright... like my other post don't hate me. I'm selling my SPARE copy of Impulse-X on Cartridge.

 

I'm moving to San Antonio and looking to buy a new house, and I'm selling stuff I don't absolutely need.

 

I still have my normal copy, and I also have it on CD as well... so I'm just selling my spare copy. It's brand new in the box, never played. All the original stuff is included. I never thought I'd sell this game, even though like I said, I already have the CD version and another copy on cartridge. The game is so awesome... I just hate to lose my backup.. but... priorities.

And before everyone hates me... I've stopped buying 2 copies of every game. The last three or four games I've bought, I've only bought singles.

Who's hating? Buying a spare is a necessity when using an older system. It's like maintaining a classic car -- two is one and one is none!

 

Good luck on the sale.

[Swansea_Mariner]

That's a crazy price.

[Umberto]

That's a crazy price.

If someone wants they will pay

[Swansea_Mariner]

True but it's still available on CD for 1/10th of that. Much better for the money to go back to the developer as that helps the commercialisation of more products.

 

If there was demand would Matthais consider a further run of this? That way everyone's a winner.

Has anyone ever had a cartridge go bad?

I would definitely buy a copy if Every 1's A Winner was included as the title song!

I have a Ruiner Pinball cartridge that glitches if not inserted a certain way. I think the board may be worn on the edge. Other than that I've never had a problem with a Jag cart that a little cleaning couldn't fix.

I know... I just feel bad about it. I wouldn't sell it if I didn't think I needed every last cent. I just renovated my home (myself)... spent about 40 grand in total on two bathrooms, front doors, tile, all that... but... yeah, I'm being a bit elitest because I'm going to be renting this house out while I go buy another home in San Antonio. But hey... I drive a 14 year old Ford Explorer with 140k miles on it... so I don't feel too bad.

 

​

 

That's a crazy price.

 

 

Hah, that's why I feel bad.

 

However...

 

If someone wants they will pay

 

 

Exactly... and these games do go for this price... now and then.

It's not like I stole it. I expressed interest in buying two carts, and paid for them... so that gave him more money when he made the initial order. I also bought a CD version of the game too when he initially offered it. I don't think there's any more CD versions, at least not in the US.

ALMOST... my Cannon Fodder game stopped working for a long time. I had pretty much lost hope.

 

I did everything including a Catholic séance and posting about it. Only after that point did it magically start working again.

[Swansea_Mariner]

Impulse X sites still live so you can still get the CD if you wish.

 

Like I say if there's demand for carts then always worth checking the potential for another run you never know until you ask.

 

As for myself never once had a cart go bad not even when my kid coated one in jam, it still worked after a bit of tlc.

You sell it for whatever you want!! I got slammed by the guys at Atari Forum for the asking price of my Falcon. I don't live by comity, I actually have received a fair shake from the folks here. The truth is most people will not sell something without expecting to sell at a profit. Why should Atari hardware be any different.

Ah man... someone's already got the high bid of $200 bucks. That means I'm committed to selling it. Part of me was hoping no one was going to bid... hahah. I have to keep reminding myself that I still have the one I play all the time, and this was just my spare one.
