Jag64 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 The Atari Jaguar takes some heat, but the beast has some real gems in the game library. What are you playing this weekend? It's obviously not Ultra Ninja, so what's in the Jag? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cubanismo Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I'm out of town, so not playing anything on the Jag, but the game that's in there is the same one that has been for the last month or so: Gravitic Mines. I also finally managed to get IrataJaguar installed correctly on my ShieldTV the other day, and played some flawless T2K on that with the separate GPU and DSP threads enabled. This is all academic as there's another Jaguar sitting right next to the Shield, but I thought it was cool nonetheless after messing with the unplayable RetroArch Android port of VirtualJaguar on and off again for the past few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the trip goes well, and that's great news about IJ on your ShieldTV. I haven't played with it yet, but I have that the 3DO emulator from the same dude/person. Nice to hear it's stable and bringing you some Jaguar fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is there a way to know how far you’ve progressed through the game - no idea how big it is?! Edited July 18, 2022 by Mr.JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoGamer Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I have plans to play Another World. I never beat the game on my A500 as a kid, so I’m hoping to complete it on my Jaguar. Plus, I need to play Champ Game’s Robot War for the 2600. So many games to play, so little time to play them in. What can ya’ do, right? ? ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to take over all of the zones in a city to progress to the next one. I found the second city to be the hardest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course if you want to program in something like C#, or Java, neither are there any "Click n' Play" tools like Unity, and Game Maker Studio. The Jaguar should be possible to program using C++ though (if you fancy some parametric object oriented programming, which in my opinion is more powerful than for example Java?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 If I get time, I'll make more headway in my first serious attempt at playing through Highlander. And probably breeze through Alien vs. Predator at least once. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Although I have one of my Jags on the coffee table, right now I'm spending all my gaming time on the Evercade VS I bought about a month ago. I'm mostly playing pre-NES game: Intellivision, 2600, older arcade releases. Great system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
