Just picked up a Jag.

[posyden81]

Just got my first Jag . It didn't come with any games but I got my first few in mind (AvP, Wolfenstein, Doom, etc). Is there any homebrew games available for the Jag that are recommended? I know it's not the most stellar system but I'm excited to own it and start playing.

[+xucaen]

Homebrew are all on CD so you'll need to buy a Jaguar CD unit. Gratz on your first Jag! Tempest and Iron Soldier are good games. Also Zool 2.

[posyden81]

Those are on the list as well Any recommendations on good sites to pick of games besides ebay/CL/goodwill?

[+xucaen]

Best Electronics and a lot of Jaguar cartridges. I bought about 7 Jag carts from him, they arrived in almost perfect condition. Prices are generally what you might expect to pay on ebay.

All the loose carts I bought from best were new. They also have the jag cd for 149.00.

Best is a great source, you've also got B&C if you're looking for new games though sometimes their Amazon store is cheaper than their website. I've also acquired a chunk of my collection from the goat store, their grading on used games is always spot on. And of course there's always the marketplace here.

Welcome to the party that never ends!

[posyden81]

Thanks guys. I've been looking at Best Electronices. Is the Jag CD really worth it?

[Paul Westphal]

I have some carts, and some nib CD's for sale.

[posyden81]

PM me I'm interested.

[+xucaen]

I think the cd console is a matter of opinion, and wealth. If I have the cash i'd get one, but at the same time I have strong feelings against getting one. Best do some research and decide for yourself. Best of luck to you!

Welcome to the party that never ends!

Jaguar is fun to collects for because of new homebrew releases, less fun for your bank statement. Plenty of games go for $100 or more..

 

Thanks guys. I've been looking at Best Electronices. Is the Jag CD really worth it?

YES!!! A handful of good regular release games, Homebrew capabilities, and VLM CD' playing!

[posyden81]

Well after I get a few of the carts that I'm looking for, I'll save up for the CD and check it out!

Songbird still produces and sells Jaguar carts and CDs, including Skyhammer, Protector SE, Robinson's Requiem, and more! Check out the site in my sig.

Carl,

 

The fact that you were able to get Robinson's Requiem on the Jag after all these years is amazing! I haven't picked it up yet but will be doing so shortly. Thanks again for pulling that together. While I'm at it, here's my list of other games that were on the 3DO that I would love to see on Jag CD:

 

1. Alone in the Dark (1&2)

2. Crash N' Burn

3. Gex

4. Need for Speed

5. PGA Tour Golf (no golf games on the jag)

6. Road Rash

 

Just putting it out there

[+save2600]

Isn't there a Jack Nicklaus image for the Jag floating around? Thought that game was nearly finished...

[posyden81]

Thanks Songbird! I will check it out after work today.

 

edit: Just checked it out, anyone play Hyper Force?

Yep, makes your Jag look like a toilet. Worth it for that alone.

[posyden81]

I DO love toilets....

[JaguarBrett]

I know everyone's opinion differs however I would first make sure you have:

Raiden, NBA jam, Rayman, tempest 2000, Doom, Avp, power drive rally, etc.

My favs currently are the songbird releases, I have them all, you can't go wrong.

If you do get the Cd unit, World Tour Racing is also a great game.

I just received Philia for the jag CD, be sure and grab it if you do get the cd unit! I also recommend best electronics for your jag cd, got mine brand new from them.

Welcome to the Jag community!

[Clint Thompson]

If you end up with a JagCD, I highly recommend Battlemorph. Cybermorph will most likely disappoint you but imo BM is far superior and really shows you the many different areas the Jag excels in and ultimately, it's a really good game if you're willing to take your time with it. SkyHammer and Zero 5 are really fun as well.

[posyden81]

I'll get a Jag CD eventually I think. I want to build the Jag library first though. Just bought my first 2 games today. Dino Dudes and Mcfur. Not on the top of the radar but the price was right.

[Rick Dangerous]

Dino Dudes and Mcfur.

 

Oh nooo!!! Please don't base your opinion of the jag on either of those games......

 

Additionally, stay away from:

 

White Men Can't Jump

Club Drive

Checkered Flag

Supercross 3D

BRUCE LEE

Zoop

 

Until you are a confirmed Jagtard and anything seems good...because it's on the Jag!!!!

LOLOL...don't worry, I won't. I have played the Jag before and I know it's capable of good games. Doomwaves offered them for a good price so I picked them up.

Dino Dudes isn't too terrible but McFur will throw you for a loop and not a positive one I might add
