Jaguar

birdy-scc · 05 October 2001, 01:28

I got the Jaguar for £32, to be honest I don't know if that was a bargain.

RetroMan · 05 October 2001, 08:42

Not a bargain, but a fair price anyway

Amiga1992 · 05 October 2001, 18:27

Yeah, decent price. Keep an eye on eBay for games. DO GET Alien vs Predator

And Rayman

There were very nice Amiga ports on the Jaguar, liee Zool 2.

RetroMan · 05 October 2001, 18:33

Yep, Alien vs. Predator is a MUST have, but I also would suggest TEMPEST, my all-time-fav on Jaguar

Amiga1992 · 05 October 2001, 18:37

OH YEAH! Tempest 2000! fucking groovy!!!! Jeff MInter on acid!

You must get a Jaguar CD unit now mate... the Virtual LIght Machine in it is worth the dosh

birdy-scc · 05 October 2001, 18:39

Cheers, I'll get on the case.

MethodGit · 05 October 2001, 20:19

I've played the PC version of Tempest 2000. I wonder if the original Jaguar game is the best version to play?

Amiga1992 · 05 October 2001, 20:50

The PC version is SHITE.

Jaguar is best, followed by the Saturn version.

MethodGit · 05 October 2001, 21:16

Why exactly is the PC version shite? Anyhow, I really want to play the other two versions. I even have a Saturn, so maybe I should find that game for myself (maybe I'll buy it, or maybe I'll download the whole game off an FTP and burn it to CD :haha).

Anyway, I have Tempest X for the PSX, which looks even more tripped up on acid AND has 2000 as a hidden game.

THIS GAME RULES.

Amiga1992 · 05 October 2001, 22:43

Do get the Saturn version, should be easy to score it as a local euro copy. If you want to download it, you pirate twat, do it, and screw up your Saturn while doing the swap trick

The PC version just doesnt have teh flair of the Jag/Sat versions. The MIDI soundtrack, for one reason, fucs it up completely. Believe me, get the Sat version.

The PSX port is not half bad but no bananas

Fred the Fop · 05 October 2001, 23:28

Birdy ol chap. What about you try the Jag version of Doom? I haveplayed it, and no doubt it was better than Pc, PSX or Amiga version. Never tried the Mac version, but I do know I liked the Jag version the best!!
If you are into racing, avoid Club Drive at all costs!!! Absolute horrible stuff

Checkered Flag is somewhat ok...

birdy-scc · 05 October 2001, 23:55

Cheers Fred, I've never even used one of these before, so it's good to know there are some good games for it.

I looked for games for sale, but they were only in bundles with the console - I should have looked a bit more before buying I think.

I thought it actually came with a cd, Akira, that's why I went for it!

Fred the Fop · 06 October 2001, 03:25

Well, biry, the CD was not much, I remember a handful were produced. And one magazine here, EGM, called it a "toilet seat lid"
Oh, and I remember when out mutual freind bragged to me , and does to this day, that Aliens Vs Predator was incredible. It is, as far as I am concerned.!

Warlock99 · 06 October 2001, 09:59

That cd and the jag got dubbed the crapper here i think. Not a name you'd want your product to be nicknamed methinks.

It's a shame atari didn't get their act together with the jaguar, it could have been big. I remember reading about atari demonstrating the crapper at some show, apparently it exploded during the demonstration. Hehe, Atari just know how to show of their products!

Fred the Fop · 06 October 2001, 10:27

..I did not know about the explosion. Though the specs were good, I am not to knowledgeable technically. But when I saw the preview of the sstem in some magazine, and saw the controler, and the logo with that tacky, very 80's sloppy claw mark, I knew the system was dead in the water.

Amiga1992 · 07 October 2001, 22:32

Exploding or not, loking like a crapper or not (may I remind you, I call the old iBooks toilette lids

), the C daddon is worth the dosh for Jeff Minter's Virtual Light Machine. Pop in a CD and play away with a wonderful 'visualization plugin' of old , and way better than all that Winamp shite.

Brill

Fred the Fop · 08 October 2001, 02:44

The old iBooks were strange looking, but still work better and are faster than vast majority of PC Notebooks.
Oh, and the new ones, the one I have?? Incredibly sleek, well made and beautiful. A work of art.

Amiga1992 · 08 October 2001, 20:15

Argh you tart, you upgraded from toilette lid to beaut! I've been wanting to get one of those for months now, I just cant get the dosh yet

A piece of art, indeed. I like it more than the Powerbook G4 for some reason.

Fred the Fop · 08 October 2001, 21:00

I never had the toilet lid, my mom does, Akira.. I have the newer one. My mom's BF has the G4 and the G3, and the G4 is better, for OS X optimization. Of course, you could not care less for OS X, the best OS ever. But, the G3 is perfect for OS 9+.

I can get my Saturn chipped, you daft imbecile. No swapping tricks will be needed after that.

I guess you're not a Winamp fan then?
