Yes that's the one I'm thinking of! Was it rewired by the company that made them, or a hobbyist/jag fan? The original thread makes it seem like it was manufactured for the Jaguar in the 90s, in Poland of all places. Can't imagine there were many jaguars in Poland at the time .. https://forums.atariage.com/topic/233676-altrenative-pad-for-jag-new-for-sale/

Anyone remember those bizarre third party controllers someone sold in this forum some years ago? Where those actually made for the jag, or for a different system and they just happened to work with jag?

Beware seems like a strong word. The only reason one might avoid them is because they have a lot of boxed Jaguar games already and want the CD cardboard boxes as well so that everything is close to matching, or their hung up on getting everything as complete as possible, which in today's Jaguar market is a recipe to be poor quick. Thinking about it, you might want to make sure the game is on a pressed silver disc as opposed to a cdr. There are plenty of folks who will sell bootlegs and I suppose those could work sometimes, but it would be a ripoff if you buy one for a high price, expecting it to be a real copy from the 90s.

Yeah obviously people recommended it to you bc they are both isometric car games that look superficially similar, but I agree, all the fun stuff I like about 1000 miglia isn't in this game.

I think flip out had a dos port as well

Its funny this topic popped up again about NFS on jaguar, b/c I was recently reading the NFS wiki page for the original game and it indicated that Atari had made a deal for NFS to come to Jaguar CD. "In June 1995, Atari Corporation struck a deal with EA in order to bring several titles from their catalog (including The Need for Speed) to the Atari Jaguar CD. These ports, along with The Need for Speed, went unreleased" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Need_for_Speed The identified sources for that sentence are broken links, seems like it used to link to a scanned copy of a 90s gaming magazine... so the source could be dubious.

On the subject of MK2 and the lynx, this got me the first time around back in the day 🙂. https://atarigamer.com/lynx/game/MortalKombatIIAprilFools/123277073

I figure the different size may be due to the fact that telegames put it out once the jag was dead and had to arrange for the packaging themselves.

There certain games that were system sellers to me, where they enticed me to buy the system before I knew of other games for the system that I wanted. Bought PS1 primarily just to play Battle Arena Toshinden Bought Dreamcast primarily just to play Jet Grind Radio Bought Gamecube primarily just to play Super Monkey Ball

I noticed that there are imagic tshirts, presumably from a contest back in the day, saying "Solar Storm Survivor" on them. Does Solar Storm have an end? Or, like Atlantis, does it just keep going on forever with faster and faster enemies until it becomes impossible for a human to progress? I don't tend to survive very long in this game - like maybe 1-2 minutes, so its a little hard for me to figure out for myself

Yes cardboard box version exists. I believe telegames had it in cardboard box for awhile.

The adapter you linked works with the pro controller. I have it and use it myself. In fact the pro controller doesn't have more buttons than the regular controller. What I mean is that the "new" buttons on the pro controller duplicate some of the existing buttons in the number pad area. So there are no additional unique buttons compared to the regular pad.

Cool! Btw I heard that an unreleased port of Blackthorne for 3do was demoed at this e3 but I've never seen it in any videos.

That would be funny if Best cracked open a new crate he hadn't looked in before and it was full of 1000 jag CD units.

It's ok, I didn't make the connection until the last couple years myself. I'm sure there were a bunch of kids in 1994 who had never heard the jingle either since I don't think it was used in Jaguar commercials and I don't think it was used much in atari commercials of the 90s. And as you pointed out, its not the most obvious recreation of how it sounds in the commercials.

I wish it had in game music. How many levels does it have? Ive only played long enough to get through the first set, and then noticed I had a new set to beat.

This reimagined version by Jeff Minter looks fantastic. In fact, this is basically what Atari should do with their arcade classics - hand them over to Jeff Minter to make them into an amazing spectacle for the new millennium. I'd play an arcade cab of this. The goofy trailer with the low voice is funny and interesting too. I like the presentation like its some top secret mysterious polybius thing.

I put a shortcut on my desktop so I could readily start playing Jag whenever I wanted That made the icon larger.

that would have been a heavy pill to swallow

Jag adapter is plugged into a USB 2.0 port. All default settings in the windows gamepad configuration tool, which looks like this:

What was the MSRP for club drive?

I noticed the icon for the emulator is a baby. Anyone know the significance? Rich's baby?

Interesting. I am literally using the same jag adapter with the same type of replica pro controller. I configured it to the key binds inside bigpemu, and have had no issues whatsoever over the last several days of using it.

Um you can get a USB adapter and be using a Jaguar controller with this emulator very easily! I was using the replica pro controllers with the emu today in fact! http://www.2600-daptor.com/Jaguar-daptor.htm

Works with no error messages on my windows 10 setup.
