omf Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 From what I gather from twitter, Orion is moving away from the jaguar due to bigger and more complicated projects that wouldn't work well on the jaguar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82-T/A Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 From what I gather from twitter, Orion is moving away from the jaguar due to bigger and more complicated projects that wouldn't work well on the jaguar Kind of sad, he's an awesome developer... would love to see more Jaguar games. I especially love these kinds of games, they're Myst-like, but particularly happy that they play well on the cartridge. I wish I could have gotten Philia on cartridge, but it just wasn't to be. I wasn't going to spend $300+ bucks on a cart. Are these reprints CD-R? Yes, according to the e-mail he sent out to his distro they are. But I believe it still comes with the manuals and everything. His original releases on CD were glass-mastered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His original releases on CD were glass-mastered. Philia was but Elansar wasn't. If this reprint was glass mastered I would buy another copy but I'm not terribly worried because I have the CD-R release and the cartridge.

If this reprint was glass mastered I would buy another copy but I'm not terribly worried because I have the CD-R release and the cartridge. Yeah, I'm confused... I just looked at my games and Philia and Alice Mom's Rescue are definitely glass-mastered, the other two (Yopaz and Elansar) look like they could be CD-Rs... I have Elansar on cartridge though. I think I meant Alice Mom's Rescue on cart also.... that was the one he was selling 4 of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion_ Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Philia and Alice are glass mastered. Elansar and Yopaz and this reprint Philia are CD-R because, you must understand that glass master needs 300 CD unit produced minimum, and it's too much for a niche like the Jaguar, for example I still have more than 200 Alice CD remaining, and seems like nobody wants it anymore, so this will probably end up in trash someday.

I know it's probably a pain in the butt to sell them on eBay one-by-one, but you should sell them to RGC and some of the other retail outlet businesses. Whatever you do, don't dump them all in one auction. I might pick up another in another couple of days, but I'm renovating my house right now so... pinching pennies.

Never trash them, you have invested in it, so don't waste your money. People with an Jag-CD will find it, there are still a lot of Jaguar users out there who only search the ebay for there games and not searching on these forums. I enjoy Alice, I think my brother buys one in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with an Jag-CD will find it, there are still a lot of Jaguar users out there who only search the ebay for there games and not searching on these forums. I enjoy Alice, I think my brother buys one in the near future. +1. Look at KA Cars. They had problems getting rid of it for 60 bucks, now the few out there goes for 180 bucks. Keep 20 to sell one-by-one. Put the rest in a box in your basement and wait 5 years, grab 30 and sell them and so forth. This is a new game in a retro world, wait UNTIL the game is retro a couple of years into the future, and it will sell. See it as a longer investment and don't be let down by first wave. The only plus if you threw them in the trash will be that the prices of the few that exist will sky rocket in these "retrofying years". But you should gain of that, no one else. And don't give up on the Jag!! The cd add-ons are selling all the time back and forth! Edited July 19, 2015 by Atlantis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweety Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Just ordered all 3 games. Games just arrived, they look GREAT! A nice addition to my collection, Finally getting to play another adventure. Edited July 24, 2015 by Tweety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82-T/A Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yeah... just a quick comment, if anyone has a Jag CD and has NOT played these games yet, they are WELL... WELL worth buying. The graphics / artwork is absolutely spectacular... the puzzles are challenging, and the plot isn't too bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantis Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I just ordered Philia, from some place, so I'm in for it! Since Myst is completed I needed some more puzzle solving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 So with that said, it's safe to say that there are about 400 active Jaguar CD owners out and about in the world actually still playing eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
