I've been working on Aaron the Aardvark on Jaguar after finding out that my Channel F game freezes after you die 8 times. Yesterday had me putting in new backgrounds for the game designed by Clint Thompson. It makes me wish I had a skunkboard, but if I look on eBay, they're all about $400 or so. My game is about 1.33MB. I learned yesterday from him that the limit is 1.9MB. I guess all these fancy images are big in size.

My ultimate goal is to have the game in the AA Store so I can play the game I made on my own Jaguar. I want it to be like Space Invaders since there was no Space Invaders on the Jaguar. The Jaguar library is like a puzzle with missing pieces that you need to find and make and put together. I wonder how in the world I missed this back when it was new. I was playing my SNES and never heard of a Jaguar. Of course, I was a kid back then. And also, I didn't really know of anything non-Nintendo. A friend of mine brought his Sega Genesis to my house once. That was the first time I played it. And didn't ever again until I got my own about 15 years ago.

So anyway, yeah. I'm going to spend part of my day playing my Jaguar. The rest is devoted to TV and the internet. Like most of my life.
