Rick Dangerous Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Been a crazy couple of months folks...made a big move, about 1100 miles. At any rate, i was looking at my Jaguar boxes while unpacking and thinking about this question. For me its: Jaguar Box: -Tiny Toon adventures I guess (Just noticed for the first time that they have this and Alien Vs Predator TWICE) Jaguar CD Box: -Jack Nickluas' Cyber Golf--Love a good golf game and this one looked really promising, especially since it was being programmed by the same guys who did Awesome golf on the Lynx which rocked. PGA Tour 96' on the 3DO was epic, and i think this could have been a good contender to go up against it. -Black Ice White Noise--Can you imagine if this game had come to full fruition back then--a full sandbox game in the mid 90s? If it had been released it might have really made some waves. What are your "wish that had made it" games from the production boxes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Only games from the system boxes you say? Going to be a really short list. ha Anyway, really looked forward to Battlewheels BITD. And the version of Checkered Flag shown even looked better than what we got. CD wise to me, golf wouldn't have been too exciting BITD... but considering the library of released and unreleased games advertised, would have been a welcome addition for sure. Personally, I was looking forward to a kick ass 64-bit version of Hardball! (which was announced) myself. ? ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOut Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Unless I'm mistaken, the unreleased Jag CD box games are Black Ice, Jack Nicklaus, Demolition Man, and Creature Shock. Of the bunch, I'd pick Black Ice. On the Jag side, if we extend beyond the box, I would have loved to have Graham Gooch World Class Cricket. It's too bad this port never happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that was such an odd (but telling) choice for Atari... an American company that particularly boasted "American Made" at the time, but had it been released... would have totally embraced it and bothered to learn the sport. Being a big baseball fan, I too am disappointed it didn't see the light of day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago I stumbled across a PAL copy of International Cricket for my NES (an Australian game). My brother and I taught ourselves the rules by playing that game, and it's really a lot of fun. There aren't too many cricket games out there from that time period, so when I found out we just missed out on one for the Jag, I was interested/ disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BitJag Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Black Ice White Noise would have been interesting to see in a more completed state, but I have soft spot for creature shock even though it saw releases on other platforms. I can't put my finger on it, it just seemed like that game belonged on the Jag. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jag64 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I stared at the back of those boxes (Jag and Jag CD) far longer than I should've. For me, it's an easy answer with Black Ice White Noise. Like everything Atari Jaguar, I got a little obsessed with the game, its mystique, etc. Oh, what could've been. Arena Football, an actual complete retail release would have been nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see the basic mechanics for Joust working out too hot in a 3D form. How did Hasbro not make a shovelware title in the late 90s for the PS1 titled Joust 3D? Just a vehicle-based combat game (e.g. Twisted Metal, Vigilante 8, Destruction Derby) where the "vehicles" are ostriches, and the "combatants" are riders. After seeing that short clip of Dactyl (not on the Jaguar boxes btw), this concept seems almost possible on the Jaguar. The Jag would need to limit players to two at a time, for several hardware-related reasons. Obstacles appear gradually in the "arena" in order to keep things from being a non-stop chase / stalemate in an open 3D arena. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHATEIT Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Of the cart games on the box I really wanted to see Battlewheels. I can hardly see what I'm doing in that game on the Lynx. Having a nicer less pixilated layout with a better radar on the TV on the Jaguar would be awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Havoc 2049 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I would have loved some Jag-Link Battlehwheels. Black Ice White Noise for the Jag CD. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagChris Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Battlewheels I guess. It's always been Battlewheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this, although back then I was also looking forward to creature shock. But for the single player I imagined black ice to be mind-blowing for the time. And a multiplayer Battlewheels would have been fun for Jagfests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
