Wha! The original soundtrack is epic I will grant you but in this day and age it gets grating after about two minutes. No bass... Wasn't Xenon II and Rebooteroids worth the wait for the great and new for 2K beats? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to get Xenon II. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swansea_Mariner Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Improved sound track is definitely worth the wait! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) I'm all for the straight port. If I didn't like it as-is, I wouldn't have the 300lb beast in my basement. The Arrangement track just rocks, is all. Edited January 13, 2017 by racerx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I doubt that an additional soundtrack would seriously delay the release. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stage_1_Boss Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I doubt that an additional soundtrack would seriously delay the release. The Pez might though, so it's okay if it's released without it, I can just eat other stuff while I play. = ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Is there a pre-order list I can get on for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I can confirm there is a list, however, I am not the keeper of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82-T/A Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Improved sound track is definitely worth the wait! I agree... it really makes a huge difference and enhances the game. Oh yeah, hope I'm still on the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlynxalot Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Hmm it's been awhile since this game was discussed. Hope everything's going ok with its development. Can't believe the first post was 2 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcdev Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Wow. How is it that I didn't know about this? Oh, it must be because I don't (yet) have a Jaguar. Well, this game is going to change that. I spent the best part of my Computer Science degree playing Xevious in the uni arcade. I was never quite as good as my mate, who could last for several hours, but I did manage to reach the end of the map a few times (the dips were set to continue from the start) and clock the score once or twice (sadly, unlike my mate, not more than once in the same game). Fun fact, your extra Salvalou go 8,9,A,B,C... my mate had 'W' when it hit the right edge of the screen. BTW there are quite a few more hidden citadels than is documented on the net, and I used to know where every single one of them was. Used to. I own a (bootleg) Xevious arcade PCB and of course Namco Classics Vol 1. I started to reverse-engineer the original arcade ROMs many, many years ago with the intention of writing a MAME driver, but was beaten to the punch. I did, however, end up writing the Namco Classics MAME driver! Fast-forward about two decades and having made some good progress on an FPGA emulation, I set it aside to pursue other projects and - bam - beaten again. Xevious is hands-down my favourite arcade game. These days I spend a lot of my hobby time reverse-engineering retro games and porting them between platforms. Xevious is on my to-do list, most likely targeting the Neo Geo. I'm curious to know whether this port is a direct translation of the original Z80 code, some sort of hybrid emulation, or done purely from observation using ripped graphics? All my ports are direct translation from original assembler code. It's a long hard slog but the end result is 100% accurate. Right now I'm doing Asteroids for the IIGS/Coco3 and possibly others. Anyway, enough rambling. It goes without saying that I'd like to be on whatever list exists for pre-order. And now I'm going to go an check out development resources for the Jaguar. Maybe I can target one of my existing ports to it? Apple II Lode Runner or ZX Spectrum Knight Lore on the Jaguar, anyone?TLDR; I'd like to be on the pre-order list please! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace2184 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Just like to say I'm patiently waiting. I got to play it last year at the 2016 Portland Retro Gaming Expo and thought it was great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'll be going about my day and will (at least monthly) randomly think about the fact that this game is making its way to Jaguar...always puts a smile on my face and can't wait to see it come to fruition! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oracle_jedi Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Is there any news on the status of this release..? The code was finished a few years back. You can play it at PRGE in October 2018, and again in 2019, and again in 2020.... The developers have now moved onto the most difficult and time consuming part of any Jaguar release - getting the cartridge case design and retail packaging right. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
