Getting reacquainted with the Jaguar

[Stage_1_Boss]

Hello!

 

I wanted to do a sort of introduction post here in the Jaguar section since I believe I've only posted here once. I haven't gotten used to the etiquette here yet, so, if intro posts are best kept in the Introduction area of the forums, I'll understand this bein' moved or ripped down.

 

Sometime around the Jaguar's original lifespan, I remember being at an Incredible Universe and seeing Alien vs Predator playing on a Kiosk. For some reason, the overhead lighting in the corridors stands out as something that impressed me at the time. After getting a Jaguar of my own, I played (and did like) games such as Kasumi Ninja, Club Drive, Wolf 3D, DOOM & Alien vs Predator (of course.) I can't remember when I'd sold off my Jaguar and only a moment when I'd have the system again to play the Jaguar version of Wolf 3D about a good 9 or 10 years ago.

 

Since then, I've been collecting various game stuff off and on and, as of last weekend, just did a pretty big trade with a friend for some of the Jaguar things he'd had stored away. I'd like to get back into experiencing some games I'd never played when I originally owned the system and am very interested in the homebrew games that have, and are, being released. I've got a few links I've been able to find, but, I was wondering, aside from the two homebrews I see available through AtariAge's store, are there any places the community might recommend to purchase homebrew games currently in stock, in either cart or CD format for the Jaguar?

 

If anyone is interested I can post the photos of what I'd traded from my friend, but, for now, I'd just like to start with a good ol' greet and newbie question. = )

console 5, good deal games, and direct from publishers and producers such as songbird and matthias domin.

get a skunkboard (if you can) then you can experience many free games without buying a thing

if you have a cd drive and it functions properly, you can most likely use Jiffi from reboot's website to create working cd images of most games that are not roms

 

some games don't want to work however, but these are minimal in comparison to the ones that do

Thank you both for the responses, I appreciate it. I don't know a whole lot about the skunkboard, other than it's pretty difficult to acquire now. And as for the CD unit, I may be getting one just a bit down the road and I don't mind purchasing homebrews to (at least somewhat) support their creation. = )

The best place to get Jaguar games is on ebay. Search for the game you are looking for, then sort by "highest price first," then pick the top game and "buy it now." No reason to look elsewhere as all these games are priced reasonably and fairly, usually at or below actual market value.

I don't know.. that sounds like I might be taking advantage of the sorting system.
