KidGameR186496 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 This video came out last week and it went unnoticed. It seems like a New game and complete with box and a manual i believe. What are your thoughs on this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj1RZU9Pjw8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I don't know - it's hard to tell from a glowing TV set that floods everything 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Yeah, wth? Guy showing off his Pro Controller and rare Falcon pad too. Looks like someone ported CD-I Battleship sans the full motion clips maybe? I hears fancy 16-bit audio splashes anyway... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 This is Sergi of Raregame fame. He used to post on here a long time ago, until he got driven off because of hosting Jag ROMs on his website. Looks like he made good on his threat to make his own Jag games.

Swansea_Mariner Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 That has got to be the worst YouTube vid I have ever seen. Would be interesting to see more of the game though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VladR Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Would be interesting to see more of the game though! It's a Battleship clone with added feature of SilentService-style aiming. It's been a long time since I last read Russian, but this link describes the gameplay and AI in much more comprehensive detail: http://raregame.ru/text/Sea_Battle.html According to the article, the AI is quite advanced and it's hard to win over it, which is a welcome challenge to current Battleship-style game (especially the latest one on PS4, where AI plays incredibly retarted). Isn't there a Battleship-style game on Jaguar already ? Or is this actually the first one ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Sauron Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Been talking with Sergi about this, by the way. The game's not quite finished yet, despite the claims above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAVE 1 GAMES Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Been talking with Sergi about this, by the way. The game's not quite finished yet, despite the claims above. So this isn't an actual release? Im confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82-T/A Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 My impression is that he's plaing a VHS that has both the intro to the Atari Jaguar, and then a recording of some Battleship game. When it switches between the Jaguar intro and Battleship, you get scan lines as if the feed drops for a moment, which causes the TV to bring up the channel again... this is very common in VHS video (from those of you who remember the time). A box is pretty easy to make, it's also not glossy... so I'm guessing he just printed it on a desk jet or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he suggest when this is likely to be released, I love the physical game and a Jag version would be 'super cool'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Did he suggest when this is likely to be released, I love the physical game and a Jag version would be 'super cool'. No, basically just said he wanted to add more features. The convo was in the comments for that YouTube vid, although the conversation is in Russian.

Swansea_Mariner Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 More features is always good! I've not seen the CDi version but will check out youtube to see if there is something on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Went back and reread his comments (god, my Russian is still horrible...). He doesn't have sound in the game yet. He also wants to try selling some carts before he posts a ROM on his site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swansea_Mariner Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 That's fair enough. I'm sure there will be the usual cartridge partapartakers on here when the time comes for him to make some cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also wants to try selling some carts before he posts a ROM on his site. Yeah, re: the sound... saw where he said that in his comments to you in his YouTube vid, but really? What's the splashing we hear starting at 51secs then? Also thought there's (faint) background music that seems to change between screens... just gave another listen - yep. Google Translated his Sea Battle page: The finished our project naval combat for two players combined strategy simulator shooting through the periscope, ie 2 species of sea battles in a game called - Sea Battle (Atari Jaguar) So was completed long ago started project naval battle on the Atari Jaguar, the game was very interesting and a combined 2 species of sea battles - is just a strategy for the cells and fight itself through the periscope serving player podgadat movement of enemy sea units.

TrekMD Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 It does seem to be done. I think Google Translate is having a hard time with Russian. I also emailed him. Can't be cheap to have it shipped to the US from Russia! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
