Atlantis Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 I think the new 505 music will give this version something unique that adds something new to the game, much like the new music in the Jag version of pinball fantasies.

Atlantis Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yeah, good times! Raiden watch out!I hope this is the beginning of a long co-op between Reboot and Bitmap. Hope for Chaos engine 2 (split screen action on Jag) and Z (a good RTS wouldn't hurt either)!! One can dream... can't one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3-rg Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Raiden watch out! Funniest thing I read on AA in weeks! I hope this is the beginning of a long co-op between Reboot and Bitmap. It's actually all CJ, not a Reboot thing. But yeah, the Bitmaps had some really good games that would translate well to the Jaguar. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckafka99 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Great news, new jag carts make me excited! What's going on in the ST thread? It won't load and keeps crashing on my iPad. I had the same issue with my iPad Air 1, memory issues I suspect. Other embedded media intense sites /pages will do this as well, CNN being a notorious site for this behavior.

Atlantis Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) there'll be a manual? a folded paper with info of offical release, thanks and buttons used would do cib Edited December 13, 2015 by Atlantis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 So to be clear, this is the Amiga game working on the Jag in a wrapper/container of sorts minus the soundtrack which will be substituted with other work, correct?

phoenixdownita Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Any chance of a hint about pricing? As it stands I can play already the Genesis, CD32 and SMS versions but all in 50Hz only, if the price is right a Jag version that works correctly in NTSC land (60Hz) will be something I am interested. I don't know if the Atari ST/Amiga version (not entirely sure which one you used) compensates correctly for 50/60hz, the Genesis version does not and it is too fast (the SMS glitches badly at 60Hz). What say you? Edited December 14, 2015 by phoenixdownita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding price I can see it's not time to announce it yet. How about an expected time to market? Do we think this baby will be born by June 2016?

We can't use the Bomb the Bass soundtrack as the Bitmap's license expired about 19 years ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
