Scored me a nice Atari Jaguar lot

[khog143]

I was recently looking at a local gamestore that sells retro stuff, and they had a boxed Jaguar for sale for .99 cents because they thought it didn't work.  However, I did some tinkering and research, got it running, and now I have a CIB Jaguar in great condition.  Also, they sold me a ton of CIB games on the cheap (5 bucks a piece) because they just wanted to unload the inventory.  I got Attack of the Mutant Penguins, Evolution Dino Dudes, Tempest 2000, Missile Command 2000, Syndicate, Theme Park (Sealed), Doom, Zool 2, and Alien Vs Predator.  All for around 50 bucks

Man, sorry to hear you lost 50 bucks!! 

[khog143]

I bought it on a whim, and some of the games do suck, but the Doom port is pretty fun, and so is Alien Vs Predator.  Tempest 2000 is a really fun little puzzle game, with an amazing soundtrack.  However, I mostly bought it as trade bait for other stuff.  Now I just need to find someone interested.  And if not, I have a gaming curiosity to display.

Not a bad deal for fifty zenny.  Have some fun with it.

Man the jag is getting no love here lol.  After playing it, I have to say the worst thing about it is the controller.  The keypad should have reached extinction with 5200

I tend to agree, the Jag sucks arse. I can't understand why they're generally so expensive (not in your case fortunately) or sought after. Guess it's the whole failed console syndrome.

For $50 though why the hell not!

I think you got just about ALL of the seriously good Jag games!!  That's an awesome deal dude.

I'm no Jag fan, but if I saw this in a store I woulda eaten it up just the same!

Yeah I'd probably never hook it up and play it but if I found a jaguar in the wild on the cheap I'd have a hard time not picking it up!

[SignOfZeta]

That's terrible. Hopefully the garbage man will take it away without charging as extra fee for hazardous material disposal or something. Make sure you wear gloves when you handle this kind of toxic waste!

[khog143]

I pretty much did what Samurai Ghost said, I hooked it up and played it for a few days, but now its just sitting on top of my bookshelf with my other boxed goodies on display.  Probably will end up trading once I get sick of looking at it

I play my Jag every now and then.  It is the only system with Flip Out!, which I love.

I don't own a Jaguar, but I had lots of fun playing Tempest 2000 at a friend's house back in the day.

Does anyone have the Tempest 2000 Soundtrack CD (I remember when I could have picked up a bunch for a dollar...I still don't know why I didn't do that).

Anyway, khog143, don't let the Jag sit there. Fire it up and play some of the ridiculous games that are EXCLUSIVE to it.

If I had more time, I'd certainly be curious about trying all the titles I've only read about...

The Jaguar is the only system I've owned, discarded, and not missed a bit (OK, Playstation too). As a proud SMS, TG16, 32X, and 3DO gamer, I think that says something.

Yeah man, 3DO rocks!

As for the Jaguar, there is some actual serious fun to be had on the system. problem is that people are charging way too damn much for the stuff these days.
