Post #200, are there any Jaguar fans here?

[T2KFreeker]

Yeah, so I have to ask because I actually like the 64 bit beast. Nice system with some cool games that got swept under the rug by an ignorant public and a$$hole Videogame Mags, what else is new? Antone else here have one?

Used to own one, I spent hours upon hours playing Tempest 2000 and even Kasumi Ninja. I'd love to code the thing but it's too complex for me.

There is alot of coding information for the thing these days as the Jaguar has a thriving Homebrew community and still has games releasing for it. Waiting on Madbodies at the moment.

Yeah I know the Jag homebrew scene is alive and well these days, but they will never come close to being able to take full advantage of the hardware...even commercial companies couldn't do it back in the day.

I own one, along with the CD attachment. I wouldn't mind seeing more CD based homebrew titles since the cartridge ones tend to go for a lot of money. That, and the CD library is kind of small to begin with.

The Jaguar controller though was a bit odd.  It reminded me of: An Intellivision Controller for a New Generation. 

I do remember it having some good action/shooter games on it, but I only ever had one friend who owned one.  He only bought it origionally because he wanted to play Tempest 2000, but ended up getting quite a few games for it.  If only the cart games had taken more advantage of the power of the system, it seemed like the quality between the cart games and the CD games was often huge, like a 16bit to 32bit difference in quality.

You'd be surprised what is going on in the Jaguar circles these days. Between Scatologic and 3D Stooges working hard at getting the system routines and other things like heavy duty libraries going, the system works ten times better now then it did back when it was released. We know more about the system now then we did back in 94, so this is good. I like that people are finally realizing that the Jaguar was indeed a 64 bit system and not that crap EGM was spewing, as they were wrong, again. What a friggin' concept. If more people would have used the 68000 chip for what it was designed to do in the Jaguar as a way to tell the Tom and Jerry chips what to do, we would have had more games take advantage of the system rather then cheaping out and having a bunch of Genesis ports recolored with the Jaguar Pallette.

So Tough, huh? I think I may have seen you around on JSII. Guess I'll be seing you around here as well.

yeah, from what I've read about it, the developers at the time really didn't have proper dev kits, which led to the subpar software. Good Job, Atari.

Can the Jaguar handle 64-bit games of the same caliber as the Nintendo 64? Lots (for the time) of polygons and all that?

I don't know anything about the Jaguar other than it's anal-abortion of a controller is plenty reason for me to stay far, far away.

My experience with Jaguar is very minimal, but I've been wanting to get one practically since they came out.

you just want it 'cuz it was made in the USA.

(was it the last console made in the US? I think the Xboxes were all made in china...)

[Keranu]

Haha, yeah part of the reason is because it's ALL-AMERICAN. But I mostly want to get one so I can actually try it more. There are a few fun looking games for it and I'm also interested in all the homebrew support it gets.

Don't listen to the haters, EVERY SINGLE GAME on Jaguar rules. I <3 that system, and I might buy it before a PC Engine.
