Jag64 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 The Jaguar may not have had a huge library of games during its 1993 to 1996 run, and the games that were released often leave fans split in their opinions. Every Jaguar owner has a favorite game, even if others might night see the title as a "gem." What is, in your opinion, the most under-rated game on the Jaguar? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smith Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I really liked Val D'Isere Skiing and Snowboarding Not many people seem to mention it, probably because it's a sports game. It got ok reviews and I always felt like it was a better playing spiritual sequel to Rare's Slalom. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Defender 2000. Has more haters than not. I think it's a masterfully programmed game, and the ridicule, some of it fair, is way overblown and has a rep for being a piece of crap game, which is wrong. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Editorb Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I-War is a borderline masterpiece, exciting yet relaxing and a great way to wile away the hours. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a game that I plugged in for the first time and played for three hours without looking at the clock. I know there are complaints but I think Minter did great work on this one. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music may be my favorite Jag soundtrack. My first few times through the game, I drove around being mesmerized by color shading and shadows. They're so elegant and vibrant and make me wanna hug my CRT. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+davidcalgary29 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Club Drive is lots of fun for such a broken game. If we're talking about post-Atari retail, Soccer Kid would be my pick: it's a really nice platformer that few seem to like. And if it's homebrews, Painter is criminally underrated/played. It's a lovely game that, in my imagination at least, is what Pepper III would have been like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although shouldn't it be possible to eliminate the bad guy by encircling him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD-i Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Ther can only be one: the glorious Pinball Fantasies. Such a great pinball game with great table design and ball physics for the time. The soundtrack is really awesome and the jaguar version possibly the best version of the game. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep forgetting that Pinball Fantasies offers four tables, as the only one that I liked (and played) was "Billion Dollar Game Show". I actually spent much more time with Ruiner Pinball just for the "Ruiner" table, which is fantastic. That "Tower" table has just about the ugliest colour scheme of any Jag game that I've seen. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseystyle Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Baldies. Baldies forever. On cart, I’d second Power Drive Rally. Loved the headlight effect on night courses. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Syndicate! I find it highly playable and fun, building up your team from nothing into a global megapower. It's a PC port on console that plays much better than others due to the Jaguar's unique keypad. And there's some good variety across the 50 missions. I'm one of the very few who actually likes the game, apparently. It does have a steep learning curve, as those controls take some practice. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's some good fun to be had there (and it usually has to do with stink bombs, landshark plagues, or helicopters). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterG Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I vote Atack of the mutant penguins. It is weird, not very easy to get into and lacks in several departments (it's short, it has no whacky music to acompany the madness) but I had a lot of fun with it and I kind of like the idea that the devs tried something different for a change. Also it has those minigames between levels which is also neat. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
