Willard Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Does anybody know where to get any atari Jaguar prototypes that haven't been released publically yet (meaning not the ones from B&C or other largely-distributed prototypes such as songbird productons). If anybody here has one, i'll pay/trade for one. THANX Games like Speedster II, skycopter II, black ice white noise, Centipede 2k, and any other unreleased games. DOES SONGBIRD PRODUCTIONS JUST RELEASE NOT YET RELEASED GAMES, OR DO THEY ACTUALLY DO ALOT OF THE PROGRAMMING TOO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those that have them aren't easily persuaded to part with them. However, some games you mentioned are available. Speedster and Skycopter are available directly from Carousel Entertainment, however they charge $150 for each cartridge with no packaging other than the cart. Black Ice, White Noise is available in Alpha format from Ambient Distortions at this link: http://www.angelfire.com/freak/ambient/ Clint has bene pretty busy lately so it may take a while for you to receive a copy. As far as Songbird is concerned, I do believe Carl does some programming (with help from others) in order to complete games. Best of luck in your quest for rare Jaguar games.

Having an 'account' with people who run into them is a good way to get them too Watch for the flash-cart contents at JFUK... Stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBizDude Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 I never heard of Speedster or Skycopter. Can someone elaborate on these 2 titles? How complete are they and are they worth looking into? Perhaps a link to the "Carousel"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Centipede 2k ??? Was Centipede really planned? I've never heard about it and never seen just one pic from this version. Can somebody tell me more?? Thanks. Reportedly, it was written by Jeff Minter as his main project after Defender 2K. When Atari died it was shelved, then all the source was lost in a hard disk scrash a coupla years later I never heard of Speedster or Skycopter. Can someone elaborate on these 2 titles? How complete are they and are they worth looking into? Perhaps a link to the "Carousel"? Skycopter. Speedster II. Review of Speedster 2.

Willard Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 most people are willing to pay so much because of rarity. battlesphere gold is commercially (kind of) released. Speedster II is what most people thought to be unreleased. Plus, how many people own battlesphere and battlesphere gold? I bet only 1/200 of them own a copy of speedster II or skycopter. Only serious collectors wanna get ripped off that badly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason they should charge so much for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Do tell Tempest. I currently have the following: Speedster II - Carousel Version Skycopter II - Carousel Version Speedster II - Wal Mart Version Skycopter II - Kmart Version Geez someone at Philly asked me this too and I can't remember anymore. I'll have to dig out my Jag and check them. Off the top of my head I think they're the Carousel versions and I thought they had some extra options. Anyone got a complete list of options you can select? Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got a complete list of options you can select? Tempest As far as I know there are only the Carousel, K-mart and Wal-mart versions of each game. I'm pretty sure the Carousel ones are harder to come by, but I could be wrong..... Dig 'em out! By the way Tempest, when are you going to open up the "Jaguar" section of Atariprotos.com?

Tempest Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 By the way Tempest, when are you going to open up the "Jaguar" section of Atariprotos.com? Right after I finish the 5200 and 7800 sections. I've been lazy on the updates lately. I kind of burnt out after that massive 5200 update and needed to take a break for a bit. I'm slowly starting up again though, so I should get to it by the end of the year. Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
