Completes the trilogy quite nicely for the Jaguar now.

 

Also when I was younger I don't think I liked ROTJ very much in the arcade

Stop it with all this mystery now! What is that ROTJ that is part of some trilogy??!? And it was turned into an arcade game you say... 🤔

 

Oh I know! It's Lord of the... No, doesn't match the letters. 😔

Just give it a try, and you will see my son ;-)

Yes it was designed more like an isometric game like Zaxxon versus the first person vector graphics of the first game of the series.

The second game (also vector graphics and first person) I'm not sure if it was ever in the arcade (looks on the interwebs) huh, it was, but I never saw that one in the arcade.  Limited release?

 

But yeh ROTJ was quite a departure from the first two games and probably why I could never get into it.   I guess you just get used to a style of games and it is hard to try other styles of games for a while.  Know what I mean?

Oh man, I would love a Batman game for the Jag, but looks like "Batman Returns" didn't quite make it for the ST.  Loved it on the Lynx though.

Not seeing any Tolkien games either on the ST.  :(

I distinctly remember playing this one!

Well...there was "War In Middle Earth". Not rated very highly though...

I recall that one, but I swear there was one that had a 'part 1' at the end that never got a part 2.  There were a lot of games I missed the opportunity to play on the ST though, most likely due to me not getting one until the Mega STe was out, and let's face it, in the USA the stores that supported that were dwindling pretty quickly by then.

Awesome version of ROTJ. Got further than I have ever been before, blew up the reactor and pinched an AT-AT walker great fun...Sound is so much better than ST version.

 

The only thing I changed was the music, the samples are exactly the same, except not shoved thru a crackly 4-bit DAC :D:D

I did see an ESB sit down cab some years after playing ROTJ in some very small arcade, it was a conversin kit for Star Wars so of course it's a rariety.  It's more of a meh though...

I didn't have time to check if the list is up to date, but if you say so I have no reason to doubt your word. After all, this is the Jaguar forum - nobody would ever get caught telling fibs in here :P

 

Badlands-skunk.rom 4 MB · 1,454 downloads

 

 

Does this work on the Game Drive? I just get red screens when I boot it.

Yes, it does.

I had another copy of the rom that was named with “SD” in the name with an mrq file and that worked fine. This one never did. Not sure where I got the other one.

 

That said, I haven’t updated my Game Drive firmware in forever so maybe that is a problem.

That game is awesome!

 

Level 1:  try to drop bombs in zero gravity

Level 2:  Defeat First Order officers with "Your Mama" jokes

Level 3:  Fly though space like Mary Poppins...

 

Final Level:   Crash into your side's pilots just before they heroically defeat the enemy

 

:D
