Ross PK Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) With Kasumi Ninja and Cybermorph. It cost me £200 and around £6 postage. It looks very clean with no visible scratches or scuffs, at least in the photo anyway. I've always liked the idea of having one. I'm not sure why it has taken so long for me to get around to it.

Ross PK Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Thanks tripled! Oops, I forgot to ask (I was actually planning on asking this in my original post), can NTSC games be played on PAL systems?

Apparently a few, such as Raiden have updated revisions that make use of the extra scanlines available on PAL TVs, but they should all work. Congratulations on the purchase! This was me a few months back. I still remember the excitement! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songbird Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Congrats! Lots of cool games have been released in the 20+ years since Atari left the scene... plus you'll have to pick up Raiden, Tempest 2000, NBA Jam, and more if you want to see its best foot forward.

joeatari1 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Congratulations! The Jaguar has a lot of great games, but there are also plenty of stinkers. I have most of the original licensed production run and a few homebrews. Lots of the homebrews are great and really showcase what the Jag can do.

Never expect to pay that. I waited for a cart only with good label...which is good enough for me. I paid $35...and that was only a few months ago.

I paid $35...and that was only a few months ago. that's my strategy on buying Jaguar games - unless there is a Complete in box version for a few dollars more then it makes sense to get the boxed copy for posterity- other than that, a good condition cartridge alone is enough. All my years of Sega Collecting really didn't do nothing except waste more money than i should have- e.g. i have a former brand new sealed copy of Double Dragon V (genesis) with the Tattoo, full color poster, registration card, booklet and character card- all of which are impossible to get used. I paid USD$360.00 for it. For 2 months it seemed like a great thing- then one day i just had to open it and play- Came to realize i don't care about the extras as long as the game is in condition and the manual is online to read-and only if the manual is necessary- FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jaguar was the first console that I bought with my own money as a teenager and so it was the first console that went into my room instead of the rec room (common area). I did not get Ultra Vortek at the time but I did get Kasumi Ninja and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. For the time the first-person 3D interface for picking fighters was cool to me. People poke at it now but it worked as intended for the target audience. The backgrounds looked good at the time as well. Obviously it wasn't as good as MK but I still wanted to learn all of the moves and finishers. I enjoyed it for what it was. Today I would rather play Ultra Vortek. I have Primal Rage but I can't get combos to work on the Jag even if my life depended on it. It seems broken. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I'm not a collector and I just buy games to play, I still like to have them complete in box for some reason. So even though it will cost more, possibly a LOT more, I will probably still only buy complete in box games for the Jaguar, unless there's a game that is really, really expensive if you buy it with it's box, or one that's so rare, that it could be years before I spot a complete in box version for sale. I would've liked to have bought a Jaguar with it's box and manual, but that seems to add about another £100 onto the price, plus I don't really have the room at the moment 3 hours ago, Rick Dangerous said: Congrats! Kiss your wallet goodbye! When I started browsing the games on ebay a few days ago I was really surprised at how much they go for, and when searching for any one particular game, not that many come up. I'm guessing a lot of the games for the system were released in small numbers, and that's why they go for a lot of money?
