sega saturn x Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 (edited) For one thing i love teh look of the system. I dont know but its one of the coolest looking systems i have ever seen. I also love hte controler its very very ergonamic and easy to use. I paid 25$ for the system 1 controller and cybermorph. I have mixed feeling about cybermoroh but im buying raiden which was always a game i loved so that should be good. Im looking forward to collecting for this system btw is the cd add on worth the high price tag? Edited May 16, 2005 by sega saturn x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serblander Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Welcome to the Jaguar! Raiden is Uber-Cool!!! and plays extremely well on the Jag. I have quite a few Jaguar games and its still one of my absolute favourites (and not too expensive either - BONUS!). As far as the CD Add-On is concerned, i have never regreted my purchase! I bought mine new from GoAtari (and payed a bit just for postage to Australia) but am very happy with the unit! I have 12 out of the original 13 games released for it and they are quite good (especially... nah, they're ALL pretty good!!). The main thing is, most (if not all) new Jaguar release will be coming out on CD. So, if you want to get them... there's no way around it (and emulators SUCK! - nothing beats the real thing)! So, welcome aboard to the Jaguar and happy hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagMX Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 the CD-ROM attachment is definitly worth the price - you get to play some cool cd games out for the Jag. The VLM is a great thing to watch too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sega saturn x Posted March 27, 2005 Author Share Posted March 27, 2005 I'm going to have to look around for one. Im not very impressed with cyber morph though what are some good games for the system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Actually isn't the Radien just a direct port from the never released 7800 Version? haha.. you would think...since you can beat it like a dozen times and it just loops over and over without you actually ending the game.. oh wait, thats probably how the arcade was too huh? oh well... I remember my buddy playing it for like 9 hours non-stop and we noticed it was back to level 1 several times.. finally I got sick of it and said "Ok Man, this shit has got to stop" and powered off the Jag.. he just laughed and agreed it was getting tiring... that damn noise was really killing me after 9 hours... argghh..

I don't think the 7800 could run 2 MB games in 320x240 with 16-bit color (although they could have used 256 colors as well, as the PC version looks similar and uses 256 colors). About looping the game, yes that's normal. All Raiden versions that I know do this. Still I think Raiden is the best shooter for the Jag and an very fun game in general. Although I prefer Raiden 2, too bad it didn't come out on the Jag. Btw, Raiden 3 looks AWESOME too.. Anybody see pics of it yet? Wow. I hope they make console ports of that one. Regards, Lars.

Clint Thompson Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Haha... kidding Lars... just was talking about the game looping (as most 7800 games do where the NES version you can win the game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I'm going to have to look around for one. Im not very impressed with cyber morph though what are some good games for the system? Don't fret too much over Cybermorph, some poeple really like it (like me) and other don't, but it was one of the VERY first Jaguar games, and actually ported from a 32-bit prototype Atari system called the 'Panther' that was never released in favor of the Jaguar. It's so first-generation that it's almost pre-generation! Anyway, it was always a freebie pack-in. If you get the Jaguar CD unit, 'Battlemorph' the sequel to Cybermorph is available for it and is about 10 times as good a Cybermorph. I HIGHLY recommend it. But as far as cartridge only games go, you'll probably definately want the following: Alien vs Predator Doom Wolfenstein 3D Tempest 2000 Missle command 3D Super Burnout Atari Karts Power Drive Rally Cannon Fodder Rayman Ultra Vortek I-war Skyhammer Zero 5 NBA jam Iron Soldier (and #2 on cart or CD) Defender 2000 Protector: SE Battlesphere Hyperforce Worms That should at least get you started. There are a LOT more good games than those, those are just a good start. But, below are some games to AVOID AT ALL COSTS, UNLESS you just want to collect everything for the Jaguar. Avoid these games and you will continue to be impressed with the Jaguar: Club Drive, Checkered Flag, Double Dragon 5, Bubsy, Supercross 3D, Kasumi Ninja, Hover Strike. Now, a couple of the games above are liked by a few, and you *may* like one or two yourself, but you may as well wait and get them last, if at all, since there are surely better game alternatives anyway. Best Jag CD games: Iron Soldier 2 Battlemorph Primal Rage Highlander Hover Strike: UL (avoide the cartridge, but this version is good) World Tour Racing Dragons Lair Braindead 13 Myst Painter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markimus of K. Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 And don't forget that Battlesphere is as common as Combat too! Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesusc Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 It's all about tempest 2000. every other game has been done elsewhere, better. just get tempest, and your jag library will be complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesusc Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 sega saturn x was barely born when the jag was released. Accept him with open arms, and guide him. He's one of the few of the new generation that actully shows interest in the pre-sony world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sega saturn x Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Im willing to give any system a fair chance and the only developer i really dont like is sony. And to explain my spelling one was posted at at 2 am the next at 4 i had an hour nap inbetween. So i was thinking much clearer then. There are some systems i just have good feeling about like the saturn turbo grafx and now the jaguar. And yes i am not old at all only 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serblander Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Btw, Raiden 3 looks AWESOME too.. Anybody see pics of it yet? Wow. Hi Lars Raiden 3 huh? Where is that available? Only at the Arcade's? I have Raiden on the Jag and am hunting down Raiden 2 for the PSX (or any system really) but i never heard of Raiden 3. I would love to play that one! Have you got any more info on this?

Starcat Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Hi ! Raiden 3 is in development for Arcade atm. http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/pcbs...den_3_5915.html On the bottom of that page you can find screenshots. Regards, Lars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Some games that most be "avoid at all costs" can actually be quite fun They may be not the best games for the Jaguar, but I like Club Drive, I like Kasumi Ninja and some others I also like the so called good games If I remember correctly, there was a thread some time ago about Club Drive, and most of the people who replied, said it was an ok game So in the end, it's all a matter of taste, even if a game is considered bad The "avoid at all costs" games are quite cheap, so you have to try it for yourself I guess...... There IS a chance that you might even like some of them, which isn't a shame really...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There IS a chance that you might even like some of them, which isn't a shame really...... I agree with you 100% and I play all the games I suggested strongly to avoid. "Avoid at all costs" in retro-spec, may have been a bit harsh, even for DD5. One might actually find several or all fun to them too, but it is best to at least let people know to wait on getting them, if they are looking for the best games the Jaguar has to offer their gaming experience, which would include site, sound, and gameplay. It never does any good in the forming of someone's impression of a game system let them get the under-acheiving games early on, even if there are plenty of great games. They may get weary of taking chances with the next Jaguar game. Once they've settled into camp, then you can say, hey, Club Drive isn't really that bad of a game, just don't expect it to resemble a jaw-dropper in way shape or form, but it is fun, oick it up for a few bucks. But I wouldn't want a potential fan to go out and right away buy Checkered Flag, Club Drive and Double Dragon 5, either, they would think the Jaguar sucked; and they'd be right...with those games in it alone, it sucks compared to another platform. Well, I said WAAY more than I wanted to now...I'm bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Harlow Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Gunstar, hmm personally I don't think Bubsy and Hoverstrike should be in your dump file... my neice loves Bubsy and it was designed for a younger player and Hoverstrike once you get into it, it can be compulsive.

dalton4life Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Congrats on the purchase. It's a cool system to own. I just bought my 1st one a couple months ago and I am 32. I'm more than impressed with your retro gamimg savy at 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xenomorpher Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I would pick up Doom, AVP (I am a huge fan so price didnt matter to me and was worth it), and Wolfenstein if you like shooters. I like my Jaguar about the same as my PS2 (because it has a lot of games and a lot for the different genres though people severely overlook this) and my Dreamcast (Love running emulators and lots of titles). I hope you enjoy your Jaguar and I personally think the Jaguar Cd is worth 75 bucks tops though I found one with not hook ups and for $50 on Ebay (I dont have it no more). Well I do hope you enjoy your Jaguar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
