Rick Dangerous Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I was wondering if anyone on this forum developed software or hardware for Jaguar back in it's retail production run. This articles offered me a few hints that lead me to believe this might be the case. http://www.gamefaqs.com/jaguarcd/916378-jaguar-cd/faqs/2895 If so, would you mind sharing your name (if you feel comfortable) and what you worked on. Perhaps also some memories from working with Atari or your company and in the industry at that time, and what things were like. Thanks!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Dangerous Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 I've never heard of that title so thought you were kidding but checked it out and looks pretty cool. Top down racer in the vein of RC Pro AM and Power Drive Rally. How long did you work on it for? Any idea of what happened to the source code?

Or does it have to stay in the vault until a certain amount of time passes? Or are you just hoarding it? Maybe its time you got paid for all that work by releasing a copy Edited August 14, 2014 by travistouchdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
