KidGameR186496 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 To give My two cents on the matter: Gorf Classic showed that the Jaguar is capable of producing near-arcade perfect ports of classic arcade games (just like Xevious on Jaguar). I do wish we could see more near-arcade ports like Gorf and Xevious for the Jaguar, but that's just me XD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, people even bitch and moan at 16bit games... so go figure. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played Xevious every year at PRGE being told it was going to be release "real soon!", and yet it never did. I've downloaded a dozen Gorf 2000, Gorf PD, Gorf whatever files for the Jag and they are all unfinished demos where you cannot die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its astonishing someone would question the Jaguar was capable of running old 8 bit games. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) That's the Jaguar community for you. On even days, it's amazed by a port of Gorf. On odd days, it moans that there isn't a port of Quake III running at 30 fps yet (because, come on, how hard could that be?).

Knowing that AtariAge is now under the umbrella of the current Atari incarnation under Wade Rosen, it would be a PR nightmare for them explaining to Bamco why the heck a Jaguar port of Xevious is being sold without their consent. Which is understandable. Meanwhile, Warner Bros (current owners of the Gorf IP, as it was published by Midway) does not know what to do with Gorf. They just have the game sitting on a shelf doing nothing while collecting dust, along with other vintage Midway games except Mortal Kombat and oddly enough Rampage...

Outside of the movie a few years ago and the Arcade1Up cabinet, have they done anything else with Rampage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
