JaGamer Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I found these for sale in Europe, they don't come up for regular search by someone in USA I think. Very good deals I think. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alices-Moms-Rescue-platformer-game-Atari-Jaguar-CD-PC-homebrew-NEW-SEALED-/281965061623?hash=item41a66d65f7:g:R28AAOSwEeFVJSsS http://www.ebay.com/itm/Philia-Sequel-to-Elansar-Point-Click-Adventure-game-Atari-Jaguar-CD-SEALED-/281965061622?hash=item41a66d65f6:g:1UwAAOSwFqJWomba http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yopaz-IceStar-New-Puzzle-game-for-Atari-Jaguar-CD-homebrew-NEW-SEALED-/281965061629?hash=item41a66d65fd:g:uccAAOSwpRRWomdP http://www.ebay.com/itm/BALDIES-ATARI-JAGUAR-CD-GAME-BOXED-BRAND-NEW-FACTORY-SEALED-COLLECTORS-ITEM-/172054474890?hash=item280f3ef08a:g:T-YAAOSw5dNWjqni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Elansar and Philia ...both for $17! I know it's the Euro, but still a lot cheaper than he originally sold those for. And Alice is $10. Great deals indeed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Are they bootlegs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Are they bootlegs? I'd be very surprised if Orion is bootlegging his own games. Is that even possible? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felyx Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 You just found the eBay shop of Orion who is the author of those games. His games are for sale on his website AND on eBay. Sorry for you but nothing new under the sun... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leglock Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I purchased a copy of all of his available titles from him on eBay a few weeks ago. Was thrilled to find him selling them directly so affordably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 That price for Baldies in the last link is pretty darn good too. I need to get the Orion titles, Good to see he is selling direct, and the EURO exchange rate is pretty good right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probalby why he said he was stopping developping for the Jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probalby why he said he was stopping developping for the Jag To be fair the Jag price was 2 or 3 times the price on the other platforms. I don't know the cost of specifically manufacturing the Jag version so I won'/t speak about it, still such an obvious price difference always seemed off to me.

Felyx Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I don't think the poor sales of the Jaguar are due to its price. It sold poorly because the games were not better than 16 bits systems. The launch price in 1993 was $250 and Atari after one year was already lowering it to try to boost the sales so I don't know where you saw it was 2 or 3 times the price of the other systems. It is just too bad to see that the sales volume for a Jag CD game is quite low: 15000 Jag CD were ever produced (hich is very low) and that explain why a game can sell only for few hundred of copies when released on CD while it is far cheaper than having to produce a cartridge.

Felyx Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) About the price of the Jaguar, I found this: source: http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Launch_price Wiki mention that according to Sam Tramiel, the Jag was in 1995 more than $100 cheaper than its competitors.
