Maybe a bbs since it's addressed to the online community

Do you suppose the jag system was one that was used in a speedster ride?

If you're dying of curiosity like I know I would be, you could try burning a game and seeing if it boots up and plays whatever opening fmv/music correctly.

I noticed many of the Sega 16 forums were very stagnant this past year, with several sub forums not getting any new topics or replies for months at a time. I guess all that's needed to be said about the 32x and Sega CD has been said at this point, I know there's still Sega fans and collectors of old Sega stuff, but with the lack of conversations, it doesn't feel like the community still exists in the way it did 5-10-15 years ago.

It's highly similar to the early turrican games imo. It feels more like an old side scroller for the Amiga or dos than it does an arcade game imo. I think the neo geo version came out before -or in any case they were released at a similar time. I know ngdev has periodically had supply chain issues with getting their neo geo carts manufactured and into the hands of buyers. My impression is the game is identical except for the use of CD audio instead of more compressed audio on the neo geo rom cart.

The rotating background is a cool effect. I think killer instinct in the arcade used this effect as well. It had the advantage of having a HDD though so they were able to use a lot of frames to help get it pretty smooth.

Maybe it's battle wheels

Well that sounds interesting, could you take a few photos of the game to show us? In any event it's hard to say that anything jag related is junk these days given the intense interest many have in the console. If you don't want to keep it I'm sure it would be easy to sell or give away to someone on the forum.

What's the game, did it have a label?. Also, are these those rom chips that get erased when subject to light? Might want to close it up again for the time being

Nothing can top the 5200 because it is big and sexy. No seriously, I think the got the styling totally right, it looks great. Would be nice if it were like 3/4 the size, but these days the bigness kind of makes it cool, its a premium BIG machine, like a laser disc player! It looks like something I'd expect to see in the background of one of the 1980s Star Wars movies. If you shrunk it and cut off the controller storage I guess it would look an awful lot like the 7800... another black wedge with a silver bezel. The controller looks cool too, just would have been nice if the build quality was better, or if atari had gone for digital joysticks instead of analogue...

Virtua fighter 2 was developed with a big budget on much more powerful hardware by a special team at sega who were regard as highly talented designers, artists and programmers (AM2) under the leadership of Yu Suzuki, a guy who some consider to be a genius. FFL had essentially the opposite conditions applied to it in almost every way. It would have taken a lot more than just additional development time or a slightly larger development team to make FFL similar to VF2.

Would the dinosaurs pop off into the sunset like knocking someone out of the ring in smash bros?

Is Raiden some kind of source port? It seems to have a bunch of differences to the other versions, including different graphics.

Cool video, its fun to watch Rich discuss the merits and technical details of the Jaguar. He seems like one of the most qualified people to discuss it these days without falling victim to rumors or incorrect atari publicity from the 90s about the system.

Nice job. Can't imagine many people have seen that trophy, even fewer post year 2000!

I saw this meme on social media recently and the fake video here of an "old Jaguar game" reminded me of it 😂

The table should also play the tempest 2000 soundtrack while you play. The experience wouldn't be there if it didn't.

Chris has an implied point, tempest really kinda lends itself to being a cool pinball table. Shooting the ball up the narrow table is somewhat similar to shooting the players shots down the narrow web. The play field could be decorated with some kind of web design and glittery colors and lights a la the tempest 2000 aesthetic. The cover graphic of the game box with the devil guy would make a pretty cool scoreboard area graphic. I can dig it.

Wasn't someone porting chex quest? I recall there was also a version of heretic but it was never released as far as I remember.

Here's my take on chaotix, a game I've beaten several times. The game has little challenge to it. Compared to Sonic games, there are very few enemies in the stages. In that regard it feels unfinished to me. It's also disappointing to Sonic fans because the level design is much more vertical and most levels don't feel like sonic levels, and of course the divisive ring mechanics. Personally, I really like the games graphics and music. I get enjoyment out of it as something to just mindlessly chill out with. It does have style, but disappoints many because you'd expect it to play like a sonic game and it just doesn't...

I never thought cosmic carnage was bad. The music is definitely above average. The gameplay is average but as others said, it wasn't broken. I'd rather play it over most of the other fighting games in the Genesis library that aren't street fighter or mortal Kombat. Brutal paws of fury is a much worse game imo. Btw I don't think I've chimed in here yet but I love the 32x and a fair chunk of it's library. Especially the 3d titles sega programmed or produced.

Do these fit the Jaguar kiosk box display part?

I thought the same about the lynx 1 pad, but it didn't seem like that big a deal.

I wonder if the lynx 2 pad is giving people grief because it is too big so you have to move your thumb over it too much instead of basically leaving it in the center and tilting it. In that case I wonder if you can take the GBA dpad and just tape it on top of the lynx dpad and maybe be able to trigger the directions with less thumb movement.

I agree I haven't really had a problem with the lynx 2 dpad. But it seems it is unacceptable to the OP so just offering a suggestion.
