metzger130 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 By the sound of it, the jaguar itself is worth the price but the CD really isn't. Only a few good games out there, but my question is about the homebrew games. I don't see any on here that are being sold so I'm not sure how they are sold. Are they mostly CD or Cartridge games? I plan on getting a regular jaguar system, but eventually getting a CD. Just was curious about the home brew area if it's cartridge mostly or cd mostly.

chany60126 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 The homebrew scene is mostly on CD. There are some which you could download, burn, and play on your system without having to do any modding ie: http://reboot.atari.org/rbt/projects.html. But there are a few homebrews on cart such as Hyper Force, Soccer Kid and the Protector games. But those cart releases are few and far in between.

kevincal Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Everyone should experience Jaguar CD VLM atleast once. Battlemorph, Iron Soldier 2 and World Tour Racing are great games on CD. Blue Lightning isnt too bad nor is Vid Grid. Lots of people love Myst. hoverstrike CD isnt bad, Primal Rage is cool, Native Demo is cool. Gorf cool. Baldies meh. Highlander, if you are a masochist its cool. Painter CD is cool. Double feature, mathias games, reboot games. When you think about it there are a lot of cool reason to have Jag CD. Also think in 5-10 years it will only get more rare and more systems will be broken by people so ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those cart releases are few and far in between.I wouldn't call them homebrews, as they're cancelled commercial games which have been acquired, finished and released commercially by Songbird. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah OK, I didn't know that. I knew they had done that with Total Carnage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plyboult Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I picked up a jaguar with 6 games, hookups and one controller on ebay for $75... just had to purchase an RF Adapter separate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzger130 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Wow that was a lucky find. I don't see much on ebay right now. Some people want up to 400 for a system, that's just NUTS! It is hard to find them for under 100, especially if you want a game, which I would think you would want, and I for one want at least one game so that I can play it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACrystal2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I got mine for $250 back in 1993 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chany60126 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 A Jaguar system can be had for $50 if you have the patience to wait a few weeks. I got my system with all the hook ups minus the power cord for $20, 3 years ago on ebay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metzger130 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Local store has this up: Atari Jaguar System + 4 games all complete in the original box - $125 How does that sound? I don't know what the games are unfortunately, that is the only bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Wanna bet it's Cybermorph, Bubsy, Checkered Flag and SuperCross 3D ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the games are unfortunately, that is the only bad thing. Might be reasonable provided the system is in the box as well, and depending on what games are included with it.
