Stage_1_Boss #2 Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Now we can play things like Bubble Bobble on them fancy bee carts and Pro Controllers are selling for $200+.. we're still missing our "adult" entertainment though, the 2600 has the Jag beat on that.

IMG_2298.JPG Lol, awesome. = ) I'm down for Jaguar strip poker but I suppose a "Beat 'em & Eat 'em 2000" would just be going too far, eh? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+af0l #5 Posted October 27, 2016 Buy a pro controller and if you don't feel violated enough to qualify for adult entertainment, you're in the wrong forum 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midwest_cdn #6 Posted October 27, 2016 200 bux wow debated buying one for 40 bux back in the day. Even bought one those fancy rotary controller for tempest 2k for 70. Battlesphere cost me a cool 200 . Nice to see it lives on , appears alot of effort went into furthering the jaguar library . Was anyone able to make a successful close to 100 percent jaguar emulator? Did anyone build a memory or usb style cd drive? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+doctorclu #8 Posted October 31, 2016 To me having Joust on the Jaguar made it officially a well supported Atari platform. But that is only because I wanted (and have) collected every Joust on all the Atari platforms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trooper Galactus #9 Posted November 1, 2016 Yeah, I was stoked just to get one and finally add it to my collection, but I've really been roped in by the greater Jaguar community and been impressed with how it still gets pretty sweet releases!

But that is only because I wanted (and have) collected every Joust on all the Atari platforms. With all the audio extras CJ added and the near arcade perfect graphics from the ST version, do you agree that the Jaguar version is the BEST version ever ported? Or are one of your other versions you have your favorite? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperDork3000 #11 Posted November 2, 2016 What happened to jaysmith2000 amazing collection BuddyBuddies bought most of Jay's collection and then sold everything a few years back., most of the rare Jag stuff ended up in the UK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+doctorclu #12 Posted November 2, 2016 With all the audio extras CJ added and the near arcade perfect graphics from the ST version, do you agree that the Jaguar version is the BEST version ever ported? Or are one of your other versions you have your favorite? The Jaguar version is the combination of the best versions of Joust that were released on Atari consoles. The best combination being the ST graphics and the Lynx sounds. Yes, the Jaguar version was also a tribute to all other Atari versions. 2600 sounds were actually surprisingly good too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moo #13 Posted November 2, 2016 Joust on Jaguar just makes me wish there was a williams arcades greatest hits port. I loved playing Joust and sinistar on it. Too bad there was no sinistar for atari ST. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+doctorclu #15 Posted November 2, 2016 And if only there was a Defender port... oh wait, never mind! (I love the classic selectable game in Defender 2000.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stage_1_Boss #16 Posted November 3, 2016 I think Ive played the classic Pitfall hidden on the Jag game more than the game itself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midwest_cdn #17 Posted November 3, 2016 I will agree the jaguar community thrived with all the releases. Hope the jaguar sdcard flash cart happens . Really wish someone build a jad cd usb device Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WAVE 1 GAMES #18 Posted November 3, 2016 I will agree the jaguar community thrived with all the releases. Hope the jaguar sdcard flash cart happens . Really wish someone build a jad cd usb device No what needs to happen is a Jaguar CD replacement drive. Same cartridge connection type board with the rom chips from an actual Jaguar CD and its embedded programing cloned to a more modern front loading style PC cd rom drive. With all the neat contraptions that have been made for the jag in its afterlife Im surprised this hasnt already been tried. Of course now they have the Jaguar CD bios available so making a modern clone of the Jaguar CD unit should be more feasible. I have seen inside the Jaguar CD now and fully understand how cheaply it was constructed. I never knew phillips did such a bad job on that peripheral. I am also curious about what made the Philips CDI possible and if some of that "technology" was used in the Jaguar CD unit. I know they released the Jaguar VR under the name Scuba so it is possible Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+madman #19 Posted November 3, 2016 There was no "technology" used in the Jaguar CD. There are no additional processors. No extra memory. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WAVE 1 GAMES #20 Posted November 3, 2016 There was no "technology" used in the Jaguar CD. There are no additional processors. No extra memory. What I mean is, how closely related is the Jaguar CD unit to the Philips CDi? The CDI was the result of the canceled philips cd add on for the snes just like the PlayStation was the result of the cancled sony snes cd add on. Now the Jaguar CD unit IS a cd add on made after the philips CDI. So is that what the SNES philips add on was just instead of a snes cartridge connector they implemented a jaguar cart connector or did they simply take the cd reader from the CDI and retrofit it to work on the Jaguar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+madman #21 Posted November 3, 2016 The Jag CD is basically a CD transport and a BIOS. That's it. Like I said there's no extra technology. It's simply a way to read data from CD instead of a cart. That's all. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
