There were so many others, the Atari 8-bit being the first one I did and favorite, that were better. So figured I'd throw in the 2600 to help make the set complete to represent all the other Atari consoles. But the Atari 2600 was actually pretty good and ... better than the Atari ST version which is just sad. The Atari ST version of Joust was the best version I had available to me when I was a kid, and, I dunno, I still like it as much as any that isn't the arcade. I spent goodness knows how many hours on it. So the sound seems very natural to me. Funny thing about the ST version is that it was developed by The Rugby Circle, a two-person bedroom outfit who developed the Color Computer knockoff called Buzzard Bait (which is what I grew up playing before I was allowed to touch the ST ). It cracks me up that they ripped off the game and then got hired to do the official ST port. It was a different time... (Here's a great Antic article about an ST graphics tool they developed for Joust with some eye-opening making-of details. They were located in the suburbs of Detroit, which was amazing to me as a kid. Game development?!? Here?!?! Well, that didn't last long...) 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/246639-atari-st-games-ported-to-the-jaguar/page/66/#findComment-4734949 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a lot, but no one wanted to admit it. I want to say ... (checks interwebs) ... yep Firestorm, at least the earlier years in the story, took place in Detroit. I remember that was kinda cool how that city had their resident super hero and I collected Firestorm for years. Aside from a cool State Fair edition of the X-Men not much seemed to happen in Dallas in the comic book world. So all that said, cool about Detroit and the origin story of ST Joust development. Graphically I think the game is amazing and I can see hiring the people who did Buzzard Bait having that prior experience. Come to think of it, I remember that version. I remember talking to CJ at one time about adding other sound versions and seeing the CoCo version among versions looked at. He and I had other sound favorites, but was running out of space and just stuck with the Atari platforms and their sounds. And a tip to the hat to Rugby Circle for their fine work on ST Joust. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/246639-atari-st-games-ported-to-the-jaguar/page/66/#findComment-4735088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaggingUK Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Just thought with Gaztee sending out his final boxes and games for what may be sometime it would be nice to look back on this and see where the ST ports started with Cyrano and see which ones made it to cartridge and box. It really has been amazing seeing games I love like Arkanoid get a cartridge run on the Jaguar.

sirlynxalot Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Do the skunk-locked roms work with pc Jaguar emulators? I tried a handful out recently and none of them worked with either Phoenix or retroarch, which I think is based on virtual jaguar. Retroarch gave me the Jag red screen of death. I haven't had a ton of success with jag emulation anyway, but would be nice to know if its an issue on my end or if its futile to try and boot these in pc emulators.

There's a bunch of them at the bottom of the first post. Its all a bit of a mess in this thread, mainly because... who knew where we'd be years later with 50+ ROMs, so don't really expect anyone to trawl through it all. I'm waiting for a forum upgrade that will allow in-post tables, then I'll remake the first post (again!) and hopefully be good from there. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/246639-atari-st-games-ported-to-the-jaguar/page/66/#findComment-4766196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2600 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Finally got the JagGD. Wanted to ask a general question on these. So I've got the old Smokemonster Everdrive pack, which had Jaguar set including retail, proto, demo, homebrew, etc, etc, and of course ST Conversions. In that folder many game roms are there in multiple forms. For instance, there's R-Type, which has a 1M "Atari ST" rom, a 4M "PD aka Playable Demo", and an "ST Conversion" dot rom. I tried them all, the smaller one runs okay but has no sound. The PD seems to run well, while the actual ST Conversion file runs too choppy. I suppose I should just stick to the links via this thread? LOL! But they ought to run at the same performance level via JagGD as they would on say a cart (burned into ROM)?
