krupkaj Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Has somebody Zero 5 for Jaguar? I played Zero 5 some time ago on my Falcon and I want to know what is Zero 5 for Jaguar. Is it the same (some sort of port) or is it completely different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Completely different. In fact the Jaguar dev team were forbidden from playing the Falcon game until after they'd finished the Jag version The names are the same because they have the same backing story.

Maarten Martens Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Too bad they never checked out the STE/Falcon game Else we would have had another great mission based space shooter for our fav console! Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone I seem to recall Caspian Software was supposed to do the Jaguar version as well, and that it was eventually picked up by another developer when Caspian folded. Still, that doesn't stop the Jaguar version developers doing something quite different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayreon Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Personally i liked the STE/Falcon version more. It's somewhat easier to get into control wise and as said before it's mission based. The jag version is much faster and smoother and a really good 3D shooter. Having said that i should play the STE/Falcon version again. It's been too long ago to give an unbiased opinion.

Justin42 Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Are there screenshots of the STe/Falcon version on the web? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Yea, I HAD zero 5 on my falcon but well, that was a long time ago. Can't find it anywhere now (on disk) I liked the Jag version MUCH better.. the music is cool and its completely different! Clint Thompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Thompson I think a mix between the two games would have worked best. The Jag version is just too "twitchy" for most people to get into. It's not a skill to master like Tempest 2000, but more of a memory pattern memorization game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I found the interview, it's here. The bit I was referring to was this: >16)What kinds of improvements were made over the Falcon game? It's a completely different game! It shares the title, parts of the storyline, and a few graphics (such as the 8x8 font!), but in general it's a different game. I wasn't even allowed to see the ST-E/Falcon version when I first started at Caspian, in case I got the wrong idea about what was wanted for the Jag version!

Caspian DID do the Jaguar version. They folded afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
