Adriano Arcade Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Hi Guys, Arcade Attack's latest Jag related interview is with Mario Perdue. He was the main man behind Breakout 2000. He also worked on Skycopter II and Speedster II. Enjoy: http://www.arcadeattack.co.uk/mario-perdue/ Adrian 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Dragon Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Great interview. Never played any of the games he's worked on, but still found this a splendid read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHATEIT Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Interesting read. I really enjoy Breakout 2000, decent graphics for the Jaguar as well. I played up to some decent high scores! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I got the game as soon as it came out. Neat concept and fun game, but tons of slowdown. I was very disappointed at the time - 64-bit powerhouse couldn't do Breakout without slowdown?!? Mario was a nice guy though. We spoke a little via emails, although I cannot find them now. Was probably 20 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 In my top 5 favorites for the Jag. I probably still have the high score here, it's not played very much in the community. It's not all psychedelic like a Minter 2000 upgrade style gem, but it's still competent for a classic upgrade. It has good tunes, adjustable control speed, which is helpful since it doesn't support a real paddle, and nice graphics I think. I've also always loved the little droids as a mechanism for dropping powerups. Those little guys have character and seem to display attitude at times, teasing you with drops and then not delivering. Nice touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
