So does this mean they're gonna flood us with Repros too? And expensive ones at that?

Protector SE was the game that got me hooked on the Jaguar again. I owned a Jaguar right at the end of its life cycle I picked up cheap at a used game store. I did AVP, Tempest, and moved on. Fast forward 20 years. There are many games I found out I really would have liked had I stuck with it. After venturing down many internet rabbit holes and researching what I missed out on, I ended up at Songbird. Liking shooters and arcade style games I took the $90 plunge. Money well spent. I think at this point it comes out to about $1 an hour for the time I've enjoyed playing it. You save little astronauts that get abducted by aliens on a horizontal plane. You can move in any direction, and a little map shows where the aliens are for you. You get money you spend on shields and ships between rounds. Forgotten Worlds and Lords of Thunder had stores like that. The soundtrack is really good and fits the game well. The graphics are a little small but are very detailed and crisp. Box and manual all look great just like a retail release. The Package also came with Jag Ads and Native disc for Jag CD. I doubt I'll ever get the CD attachment to use these so I guess just cool collectors items for now.

I had forgotten I bought On Duty and Always Winter about a month ago. Coming all the way to northern Pa from Finland is quite a journey. On Duty is a cool little top down shooter that kinda reminds me of Commando mixed with nes Metal Gear. It has a lot of humor to it and doesn't take itself too seriously. Always Winter Never Christmas is a small novel along the line of choose the path to take, and is Sci-fi in nature. Once again it is filled with pop culture humor from other sci-fi franchises. After looking at the White Lynx web site I found there was another game on the Always Winter cart, Robot Run. A cartoon Star Wars inspired side scroller. You collect "junk" to get rations. It reminds me of flappy bird but instead of jumping you just move up,down, back, forward. It has a nice music track and backgrounds change periodically. Pretty fun after finishing the novel.

Also got Always winter Never Christmas with On Duty.

Maybe this will devolve into a fight about car makers again

This thread just promotes bad behavior. Similar to the Made in America thread.

Has anyone seen these floating around? Why would it be separated from the proto unit like this I wonder. The auction is from thebrewingcompany, his ebay store not the website.

Very funny Phoboz ?!

The bubble that Wata and the auction house have created is disappointing. It took awhile for it to get to some of the Atari systems but it has hit. I have never been one to play emulators or roms but the last year has seen prices skyrocket. I went to buy a new replacement Jaguar and I know it was 399 not long ago. Now it was over 600. Really? I got my Lynx Desert Strike and Double Dragon new for 50 each in the last year, now ebay sellers at over 200 each. Or take Another World, pictured is a current auction for it. Insane prices, half that a year ago. I own several sealed Jaguar games and don't dare open them now. But I will advocate the Game Drive going forward. Leave sealed what I own and play the roms on real hardware. Yet even the Game Drive shortage has had scalpers at over 500 on ebay lately. Who is buying all this stuff? Well I did buy a 650 Jag new off Bruce but I've bought a lot of stuff off him. But that's the thing, if he didn't have higher prices, and Best Bradley didn't up some of his, speculators buy cheap off them and dump it all on ebay. So is anyone in the right here? The demand surely isn't that great to warrant these huge jumps in prices is it?

Maybe it wasn't new? I had gotten mine cib but used and it had an overlay with it.

Ah man I clicked on this thinking maybe there was some Heretic updates or something ?. Now a Grav Mines pre-order update I'd gladly click on that too...

I got my red Atari Fuji shirts at Walmart. They seem to be stocking better game related clothes lately.

Have you noticed how depressing the goblins sound when you kill them? "Oohhh". I kinda feel guilty killing them...

Really none of System 32 games ever made it home. And like the CPS boards, the System 32 had a terrible battery in it and most of these boards are just dead now ?

Where did you learn to fly?

I like that sense of humor. ?

That message on your stat screen appears on levels that contain crowns. Thats how you know which levels to completely search to get the crowns.

Heard that. Its kinda addicting on the middle and hard difficulties. I considered the card game after playing the Lynx game.?

Choujin is a much better example....

Ran up to level 8 today and died. Ran several low stat runs only to level 2 then just drank the Kool-Aid since it wasn't going well. No new crowns found. Phoboz, what's the highest achievable score in this? I have 13936 and haven't been able to get any higher than that.

Idk what the default settings actually are to try to beat these scores. On my machine in the operators settings it says health at 100%, game difficulty at 5, and 1 coin to play. Is that what you guys are using? I've owned this cabinet a long time and thought i was pretty good but apparently not...

Idk but that title theme was so melodic it put me to sleep last night and was still playing when i woke up 3 hours later. Centipede dreams i guess. Actually the same things happened to me with the title music on Protector too.

Friggin ebay scalpers are at it again. There were 2 there yesterday so someone actually bought one on there for that price. Idk why they didn't just order from Retro Towers last week. Crazy! ?
