+CyranoJ Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 If I remember correctly it 2 player, alternate goes. That is what everyone claims, and yet, the code doesn't lie. Need a manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 That is what everyone claims, and yet, the code doesn't lie. Need a manual The manual is useless, the trainer on the Elite version is inconclusive, there are no reviews at all that mention 2 players, and the code doesn't lie. I feel like I should call 'bullshit' on the 2 player mode Anyone? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swapd0 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Anyway, who has a friend that also likes the Jaguar to play in two player mode? Edited February 4, 2019 by swapd0 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-vx Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Well, me and my 8 year old son love to perform 2-player gaming on the Jag. In fact, that´s what we play most. Sensi Soccer, Joust, network Doom although the lockups are tedious. A good 2 player mode would be a major reason to buy a game. Just ordered Defender of the Crown by the way and Draconian for the 2600. I wonder if DotC can save games.... we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I should call 'bullshit' on the 2 player mode Anyone? Unless the manual is a "port" from another platform with 2 players enabled, perhaps they released more than 1 version? The regular goto guys with questions like that is usually Marcer or Brume. Edit: except for yours and Elite's cracks, there was also Replicants and Superior's version.

Greenious Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Btw, apparantly the arcade version had a 2 player mode where the players would alternate taking turns, not play together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it isn't there. Atarimania updated. Verified by disassembling the port. Not shocked Elite cocked something up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barone Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) ^Awesome! "Music by Tim Follin" -> Enough said.A suggestion for the future (if I may) would be Crack Down. The Atari ST version is pretty good and Arc Developments put a ton of effort into it. Graphics are pretty close to the arcade ones, unlike the MD version.

Lost Dragon Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Going from Pokey then SID onto the AY with the ST was quite a shock, it felt so out of place on a 16 bit computer, but put it in the hands of Tim Follin and he made the bas#ard sing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+CyranoJ Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 The people posting what I assume to be 'generic fuckhole comments' on my videos because they can't do anything worthwhile themselves should probably be aware that, as they are blocked, I can't read them either. So they'll never get approved, and nobody will ever see them, thus rendering them as worthwhile and useless as the people posting them. I don't block many people, so it's pretty damn obvious who they (he) is. However, please continue wasting your time achieving little more than you usualy do I will leave it as an exercise for the reader to calculate the sputum involved. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alucardX Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 It's great to see these ports coming out. There must be a lot of effort behind these and it is truly a labor of love. Thanks to everyone who has worked to put these out. Now, I just need to try some of them out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man - if Atari would have hired you in late 93, just think how large the Jag library could have been. Crazy how after all these years (had my Jag since early 94), there are still some major shit holes attracted to the console. I guess just best left ignored. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aminor00 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Slightly off topic but still on topic, I love this Dorkly video: https://youtu.be/YLvnAW886is Atari 1040 STFM with Blitter, 20MB HDD and SM125 monitor, 2* Atari Jaguar, 7* Atari Lynx (inc 1 with McWill mod) ... And as many games as I can get away with! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
