midwest_cdn Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Anyways after patiently waiting for a jag cd to come my way, I finally got one (Thanx Kung fu guy .And yes I played all the jag cd games I had and for some reason the games dont impress me. But on a bright note the VLM is without a doubt worth the cost of the jag CD.Also is there anyone on the boards who could supply me with some games that were never released? I know i need a bypass cart and am willing to plunk down the coin for one, but without any games I am SOL, and doesnt seem worth the purchase.

JagMX Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 what Jagcd games did you play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBizDude Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 You should pick up Protector SE - great game - plus it has the bypass. It also comes with the Native demo - worth seeing. None of the Jag CD games are very impressive. VidGrid is a decent game and worth owning - great early 90's mix of music videos with a puzzle twist. Dragon's Lair is a decent port of the arcade game. The only other CD game I'd recommend is Battlemorph, 'specially if you liked Cybermorph. Iron Soldier 2 is decent, but it can be had on cartridge. Caves of Fear is a decent demo - leaves you jonesin' for a full version. I haven't seen White Ice Black Noise or American Hero, but those 2 are supposed to be worth checking out. L8A!

SuperDork3000 Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 I thought Highlander was good, but the frame rate was horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagMX Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 I think some, if almost all were impressive in certain ways, and i think all of em were great Primal Rage is a great version, even tho the characters are smaller than the original. Highlander is a great xample of the kind of graphix the JagCD can produce, sure the characters werent that great lookin, but a lesson was learned im sure and if there was part 2 im positive things wouldve been different I enjoy VidGrid alot, and even the FMV games like Space Ace and so on. Sure they arent perfect frame-rate games, but i thought they did agood job at the time. At least it doesnt pause inbetween scenes like the 3DO version all the rest are great too but thats just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can still buy the Scatologic Demo CD that T-bird put together. Head to the Battlesphere home page and check it out. If you can find Battlesphere Gold on e-bay or from someone it's included for free.... In addition, I think Clint at Ambient Distortions will still take your order for Black Ice, White Noise.

midwest_cdn Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 yeah jay smith i hear u, but unfortunely i cant find a copy of battlesphere gold.I really want to play it hard core, as it sounds like it is the best jag game.It not like I do not have the cash , but paying up to 300 bux is to extreme for the game on ebay.Some one please sell me a BS gold !

Stone Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Sod that for a laugh midwest_cdn...$300 gets me a Hyper Neo 64 with all 4 games Now there's a collector's piece - 7 games ever released, one of which is a gun game (so can't be played as its motherboard differs, allowing connection of the guns), and two of which are driving games that need motherboard extensions for pedals and wheel. So you can only use the 4 games, and you can get them all with your motherboard for one low low price I feel better getting some serious hardware for my cash though, I think I'd be underwhelmed by spending $300 on 'just another Jag game' when I could get 15 kilos of arcadey goodness for the same price Review of one of the games here, huge hardware review with nice pics [in german] here. Have fun! Stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO I could swear I saw Micah Rowe selling a copy on Jaguar Interactive II the other day for $175. I might have the wrong guy, but I know that was what he was asking for pricewise.

atarifan49 Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I thought Highlander was good, but the frame rate was horrible Agree, the slowness in the frame rate was frustrating at times. Also, it was a challenge to get going in the game. But once you got a weapon I think the game really picks up. Once you get into Highlander game, it's a lot of fun. IMHO.

midwest_cdn Posted May 31, 2003 Author Share Posted May 31, 2003 Oh yeah games I have played so far blue lighting primal rage baldies myst hover strike And the jem i played last and love the best VIDGRID Yes vidgrid rox, of course i didnt really care for it till they had some jimi hendrix tunes.That alone scored it a hit in my books.I think it pretty good they actually have some reputable bands other, than 2 good bands, and the rest we have never heard about.

Just the two good bands? I'd heard of all of them bar Peter Gabriel and Van Halen before...guess it just depends on what you're used to listening to Personally I thought the choice of tracks was pretty good, obviously the coders had a certain amount of taste to include Ozzy Stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 BattleMorph is definitely the best Jaguar CD game. Primal Rage would be a good one too if it weren't for the endless load times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midwest_cdn Posted May 31, 2003 Author Share Posted May 31, 2003 Yeah just wondering if any of the cd games were network enabled? I was goign to buy some network stuff, as I now have 2 copies of doom and one day hope to have 2 copies of battle sphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 There are only 3 network capable games... Doom, which is only 2 player capable, via a standard Jaglink, AirCars, which I think does 8 players, via CatBoxes, JagLink2's, or (to quote Edge) "The unfortunatly named Scatbox", and BattleSphere, which I think supports up to 16 machines, with 2 people on each machine for a total of 32 players... I think, again, using Catboxes or "the unfortunatly named Scatbox". All 3 games are on cartridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no other games out there which network directly. The unfortunately named Tyrant missed the fact that Ultra Vortek will also network if you have a pair of Jaguar Voicemodems to play with.

The event [JagFest UK] also promises networked gaming in the shape of Jaguar games Battlesphere and Aircars, which will provide a way of showing off two new peices of Jaguar networking hardware - the Jaglink2 and the unfortunately named Scatbox.

Didn't you know that "Scat" is a form of Jazz singing? Also, were you aware that "Catbox" is the U.S. terminology for the container that is used for pet cats to go to the bathroom in. "Edge" needs to lighten up and recognize a joke when they see one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
