What is "Blue Lightning Tour" ?

[sirlynxalot]

I have seen this title listed as a prototype/beta rom called "Blue Lightning Tour 4" (or 5 or 6), but I'm unclear on what this is. Is it a slideshow of pictures for Blue Lightning on CD? Or maybe a prototype cartridge version? or something else? I can't find any screenshots or discussion about it, but do see these listed in various lists of prototype/unreleased jaguar titles.

Are you sure this is for the Jaguar CD and not the Blue Lightning demo cart for the Lynx?

I'm really not sure what it is, I have seen it mentioned in a few lists of Jaguar prototype roms, here is one such instance.

I downloaded "Blue Lightning Tour 6" from somewhere to see what it was. The archive contained 4 .bin files, about 600kb each, and I was unable to run them on any Jaguar emulators. Not sure if the bins might indicate this is a Jag CD prototype, or a fake/nothing? I guess some or all of these used to be hosted on Jaguar Sector 2, which became defunk right before I started researching stuff like this...

There are probably dumps of four 8-bit EPROMs, you'd need to assemble them into a single ROM file for it to work.
