I had the opportunity on 2 of the releases. If they do another one I am definitely down for it! I know someone just a few months before this last run spent $400 on eBay for a copy. The demand for software of this calibre on the Jag is considerable. The demand outstripping supply in this case. If this game hadn't been released in 200 batch pulses over the years it probably would have hit the projected 600+ sales numbers in the first couple years.

I think that the demand was so high for the 3rd run because of the of prices copies from previous runs had on eBay. Let's face it, there is a lot people trying to make profit by selling retro gaming stuff at high prices. Look for example on the Jaguar GD robberies once in a while on eBay. Probably a similar situation may occur if a new run of Battlesphere was announced? Some of the buyers might not even have a Jaguar console to play these games on?

agradeneu Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Price inflation/scalping does not mean real demand. Just saw a Doom copy for 400 bucks on ebay. Seller claiming it was a very very rare game.

A lot of ratuonales on why some things sell better than others. Possible reasons I seem to hear - Smoke and mirrors. What you see isn't what you think you see. Mostly people without Jaguars are buying these particular titles for some reason en masse for conversation pieces. - Mostly people without Jaguars are buying these particular titles for some reason to scalp to those with Jaguars. They would still need demand for the scalping. Could there possibly be a third reason being overlooked?

I think what Machine is saying is there aren't multiple physical versions of the Another World cart for the Jaguar. There's no "standard" vs "deluxe" edition to purchase. Just different game modes as you've pointed out. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/206660-another-world-jaguar-pre-order/page/74/#findComment-5422505 Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHATEIT Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I got one from this pre-order, are they no longer being made? I would figure the ones mentioned above at $350 would be the original release right? These were like $85 shipped when I got the ones from this thread on the preorder.

82-T/A Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 So... quick question about something that was mentioned earlier in this thread. Someone said there was a "Deluxe" version, to which @madman corrected there was not. It's been a while since I've loaded it up, but I don't remember a different set of graphics or the ability to play "different" versions of the game. It seemed to me, the "Another World" I have for the Jaguar is exactly the same as the PC version I had back in the early 90s... which still had the VGA graphics and Sound Blaster sound. Was the second release of the game enhanced over the first (original) release on the Jaguar?

Was the second release of the game enhanced over the first (original) release on the Jaguar? According to Wikipedia: The game engine was rewritten especially for the Atari Jaguar to make use of the console's several processors: the GPU and blitter perform polygon rendering; the GPU performs on-the-fly data decompression; the DSP plays stereo music and sound effects; and the 68000 CPU performs JIT compilation and execution of the scripts. The Jaguar version is playable in the original graphics 16-color mode and Deluxe 15th Anniversary graphics 256-color mode. It can be played in normal and speed-run modes.

There was no 90s port of AW for the Jaguar, and surely no ROM. Except there was a ST port, but I dont know of any. The Jaguar version was released 2012 first run and uses the enhanced backgrounds of the PC re-release of 2011 (?). Seb got the exclusive permission from the original creator of AW to port it to Jaguar.

82-T/A Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 2 hours ago, agradeneu said: Whatever, its clueless and slightly disrespectful anyway. Ok, I think you might be misunderstanding me. Back in the early 1990s, I had Another World for the PC... and it was awesome (with Sound Blaster and VGA sound, which was better than the Atari ST, etc.). In 2010+, I bought the original release of Another World for the Atari Jaguar... which had the same graphics as the original I played on the PC, which were fantastic. Question: there was a second release of Another World on the Atari Jaguar, which I did not purchase. There seems to be a discussion above (in this thread) that you could switch between different versions of the game. The copy of Another World I have for the Atari Jaguar does not have such feature, and so I was wondering if this was a new feature of the second-release. Thanks!
