Please put me in the list, I think I'm not in it...

Thank you very much for releasing this in cart, this game is a classic! Bitmap Brothers were great developers, I played Gods and, specially, Speedball 2 a lot back then.

I received the game last week, thanks to everyone involved in this release!

For me it's all about homebrews and also the ST ports, for some reason it's exciting for me to see a 20+ year console still alive and receiving so much love. I also have fun playing games of the original library, not all for obvious reasons of course, but it was nice to discover some exclusive good titles and multiplatform games I never played before.

Hey, I totally missed this!!! I would like to buy one copy, sending PM right now!

Wow! Count me in for a cart, Xevious is a great game and one of the most influential shoot em ups of all times.

Thanks for porting this game, looks great!

Glad to see the Brett Hull Hockey cover I did some years ago is still around. I love that Joust cover, very nice work!!

Yeah! Email received and payment sent. Thank you guys for releasing this game in cart format, it looks awesome! That clear cart it's great BTW...

Well JagCD, at first you were separating the Neo Geo catalog in fighting games/non fighting games, in that case the majority of games are non fighters. Later you came with the genre thing (to be right in something at least) after someone stated what I wrote above, so yes, fighting games are the majority if we speak about genres but you started talking just about fighting/non fighting. I agree with you in one of your statements and is the Neo Geo and the Jaguar complement each other quite well, it will be the same with the 3DO, PSX or Saturn but hey, you're right here too! Things seems to start going straight, congrats!

Ordered! Thank you very much!!

Jeff is really great person, reading things like this makes me think he is sadly one of a kind.

Just wanted to say thank you for porting all these ST games on the Jaguar, your effort is much appreciated.

Wow, this thread is still going the same route, I'm really impressed...

Me too, I'm in for 1 game. Thanks for the hard work!

Really sad to read this, I was eager to play TXK on PC... Atari is now a joke, a bad one.

LOL! Of course they're difficult games, they are arcade games FFS! xD To master arcade games (of any company and age) you need to know the game and play a lot to progress, then you need some skills no doubt, these are not Disney games... Tell the truth, have you ever been in the arcades??? It seems not... All these price points reminds me when people talk about how bad Jaguar games are, or the controller, and they never even tried it... They're talking from ignorance... There are quite a few great Neo games for under $100, several in MVS format or CD, you also have the 161 in 1 multicart. The Jaguar does not have too many top titles, I like it for what it is, to think it's an awesome console with a lot of awesome games it is not reality, it is fanboyism. And, as I told before, I have all Jaguar cart games and some CDs, i like this console. Of course it's an expensive system, in the 90s MVS kits cost three/four times more than a home cart and you could play exactly the same games at home, no console never gave you that except the Dreamcast almost 10 years later. You expect it to cost like a SNES or Genesis cart? Do you really ever owned a Neo Geo or have you had a Neo Geo cart in your hands? There are not enough facepalm images in the internet for the statement I put in bold, really, I don't know if I have to laugh or to cry... Neo Geo games look japanese because... they're japanese mate!!!!! Also, Sega games overrated? You're not from this planet... My last sentence could also be here... Just FYI, I'm everything but rich, I couldn't afford neither the Neo Geo AES or the Jaguar back in the days, in 96 I sold my SNES and all my games and saved for almost a year to buy a Neo Geo CD without games because I couldn't even afford one, here where I live it was more difficult to find a Jaguar than a Neo Geo. I bought my first AES in 2008, about at the same time than my first Jaguar and started collecting them non stop until now. Then the prices were not as expensive as they're are now, I'm speaking about both consoles. I'm glad I finished my must have list a couple of years ago, I've been buying MVS kits of the games I can't afford or don't want to spend what people ask for them in home cart, specially since the last two years when the prices of most classic systems skyrocketed. I can be with you when you say the Jaguar have more decent games than people think but to say it's a better console than the Neo Geo is, again, just plain stupid fanboyism. Don't be confused, what you like may not be the best... "Time puts everything and everyone in it's place", think about this phrase when/if you can. PD: I still can't believe I'm loosing time of my life responding to stupid statements, better stop talking about Neo Geo and continue on topic, the Jaguar fits quite well along with the 3DO and CDI.

And there we have the most stupid post in the thread. Quoted for posterity! You don't even deserve to be responded because: 1 - You have no idea of what you're talking about. 2 - You're just a fanboy troll who only wants people attention. 3 - Both previous options. I would bet option 3 wins, hands down. Neo Geo X is an insult to SNKs masterpiece, awful emulation that even with the revision Tommo made is a shame in itself (it has been ages since there are spot on emulators available) and awful build quality. And you call it decent homage? A PSP plays Neo Geo games much better. I was excited when I heard the Neo X was in development and I was decided to buy it if it finally was decent but the result is really bad, so bad even SNKP retired the license. To play this crap I prefer to stay with MAME and save the money for something else. The box is nice though. So, you buy a NEO Geo CD to play fighting games and you buy a Neo X and are happy with it... dude, there's something wrong in your decisions don't you think...

LOL! Best post ever, I've been laughing for about 5 minutes!! There's no problem, he doesn't want to recognize something obvious, I give up...

Again, perfect description. The Pocket was a failure on sales and lifespan, the console itself is great and has several top games. I have a B/W Pocket since it was released and it's a platform which deserved much more but the Game Boy Pocket/Color was a very tough competitor with an enormous fan base from the original Game Boy, and backwards compatibility. I also agree the NGP d-pad is excellent, specially for fighting games, no other handheld plays that genre as well as the NGP.

Well, I bought a fake Gorf CD years back from a german guy called High Voltage in eBay (the seller told me it was original), luckily I paid 20€ but for a fake it is a lot of money. Maybe it's just a coincidence but this AA High Voltage always writes when someone talks/sells this title, showed his original game and has exactly the same nick... I just hope he's not german, if he is... OP, good luck with the sale and sorry for the off topic.

Amazing work, thanks for sharing it.

No, you're confused, SNK lived their last 14 years thanks (as hardware seller) to Neo Geo hardware, the reasons of the bankrupt were the end of the arcades in most of the world and the fails that were the Neo Geo CD, Hyper 64 and Neo Geo Pocket. Developing those systems was the true financial failure but, again, they did that development thanks to the profit they had selling MVS and home formats. As has been written before in this thread SNK and Sega went bankrupt because of bad past moves, neither the Neo Geo or Dreamcast had nothing to do with that. TBH, this is the first time I ever read or heard the Neo Geo was a commercial failure, if you want to think it was it's fine though.

This post is objectively one of the best in this hilarious thread. JagCD, you're correct when you say the Neo games are mainly fighters but there are so many good non fighter games it should be pointless to make a list of them, specially when you're saying you know its library... Also, collecting fighters for the Neo Geo CD is not the best idea unless you enjoy loosing hours of your life with loading times and playing downgraded games with less animations, loading times between rounds and tiny sprites don't you think? Fighters = cartdridge, yes or yes, the rest in CD are ok. I am one of the people who enjoy playing sport games and non fighters in the Neo Geo (weirdo? maybe!) but I think it is pointless to try to make you understand your opinion is just that, your opinion. I would love to see in the Jaguar library high quality games like Neo Turf Masters, Baseball Stars series, Soccer Brawl, Sidekicks series, Windjammers, Metal Slug, Shock Troopers and a long etc... Also, for example, comparing SkyHammer to Pulstar doesn't make so much sense, yes, you shoot things and baddies in both but besides of that are completely different games, you can compare it better with Raiden or Trevor McLOL. BTW, I also have a quite decent Neo Geo collection (80+ cart games between MVS kits and home carts, some CD titles too) and I own all SNK systems, also a full Jaguar cart set and some JagCD games, I think I know both systems and their libraries very well. Regarding the Neo Geo being successful, as madman says, 14 years receiving games continuously can't be called a failure. SNK made their main profit with the MVS, the home console was just a bonus and a way to make more profit with the same games, the ROMS are exactly the same with the difference of the size of the boards to make them non compatible. A MVS kit cost back then 3-4 times more than a home cart, just remember that. Does Ferrari needs to sell so many cars as Ford to be profitable and successful? I think they don't. Now on topic (!), I think the 3DO has a better library than the Jaguar, superb racing games, top fighters, RPGs, sport games... but I enjoy playing them, both consoles have fun games.

Received Baseball Stars and the artbook! Great person to deal with.
