Hi all! I haven't been reading the forums for quite a while and was wondering if there were any new developments/hope reguarding the release of Robinson's Requiem. My JagCD could always use a new game. Jeff

All I know is that I was one of those people that lost $150 all those years ago from preordering 2 catboxes from ICD. Jeff

Just a reminder that my auction for the last 5 of my rotary controllers ends today: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...1393520454&rd=1 Best of luck to all bidders. Jeff

I would have to say that is the absolute coolest Jag item I have ever seen up for auction! Jeff

Hello, After numerous delays (including a broken hand) I have finally finished the last 5 of my rotary controllers for use with Tempest 2000. I just started a dutch auction for them on e-bay, so if you have any interest in getting one of them here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=1393520454 Hopefully one day soon, someone with a jag development kit will program a couple pong type games that include rotary controller support. : ) Jeff

Yes, I am still going to have a dutch auction for them when they are done. Jeff

Congratulations on the purchase. You have just taken your first step into a much larger world. Here's hoping you have the space : ) Like you said, price is relative. As long as you have fun that's all that counts. Over the past 4 or 5 years prices for classic arcade games have really shot up. These days there are a lot more people that just want that one arcade game they always loved. You just have to hope none of those people show up at an auction and want the same game as you. Cheers. Jeff

Hello, Just a quick update. First of all, I'm sorry for the delay. I broke a bone in my right hand a week ago last Thursday and haven't been able to use it since. I almost had the controllers done, I just need to solder some wires and put everything in their cases. I will get them done as soon as possible, it's just a little difficult only using one hand. I'll let you know as soon as they are done. Once again, I'm sorry for the delay. Jeff

So are you going to sell all those or e-bay them? Jeff

I think it's great your getting that much for it! I just remember years ago when I was making the first 20 of mine, some people were going nuts over the price. When I bought a batch of 25 of the optical encoders they cost $22 each. The jag controllers were $10, the box 3.50, switch $3.30, parts for the pcb that makes the optical rotary work with the jag $11.75, I think the knobs were about $2, I can't remember how much the wire was. Plus tax and shipping on all of the above of course. Then it took a really long time to make all the boxes by hand. I sold those at $75 each shipped. As far as I know, I'm still running a deficit on this project until I sell at least 2 of the last 5. Actually there's quite a lot of room inside the jag controllers. Most of it is empty space. I opened up newer one and there's enough room to get everything in there, even the switch. Tempest in the arcade was right handed, so I made controllers that were right handed. That's all. Jeff

Nick, What's the resolution on the mechanical encoders you use? I just checked out your auction. Can you say profit margin? LOL Jeff

Kingdom Hearts for PS2

Well, I got a lot more e-mails about these controllers than I thought I would, and it's only been a day since the first post. I am thinking of making a dutch auction for the 5 controllers. I realise this might make some people angry but it will give everyone a chance to get one. I should have them done by the end of next weekend (hopefully) and new pics soon thereafter. Any input would be apreciated. Thank you. Jeff

Grand Theft Auto 3 - a million things to do and a total blast to play! Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance - great D&D game 1 or 2 player. Time Crisis 2 - best light gun game 1 or 2 player. Dark Cloud - try it you'll like it. Timesplitters - great multiplayer FPS. Gran Turismo 3 with logitechs driving force steering wheel. Escape From Monkey Island - a classic. and many more I can't wait for Kingdom Hearts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a link to some pics of the first batch of controllers. http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/jedijeff...rotarypics.html Please let me know if it doesn't work. Jeff

I already posted this on JI and rec.games.video.atari last night. Decided to post here also to cover all the bases. Nearly two years ago on the rgva newsgroup I said I had most of the parts for 5 more Jaguar rotary controllers and that at some point in the future I would assemble them. Well, I finally started working on them this past weekend and should have them done in 1-2 weeks. So, if anyone is interested in buying one please let me know by e-mail: jeff__t@juno.com (that's 2 _'s.) The price will still be $75.00 which includes shipping and insurance in the US. Thanks.

Hi guys, I've been out of the loop for a while but I'm slowly getting back in. I will be making about a half dozen (or so) more rotary controllers this summer if you can wait that long. Right now I'm a little strapped for cash though. Know anybody that wants to buy battlesphere? I have one for sale. I'll try to keep you guys updated on the progress of the new controllers. Jeff
