Jasoco Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I won a Jaguar today! I was watching it for a couple days. It had a starting bid of $25 and a BIN of $55. At the last minute I bid $35 but no one else did so I won it for $25! It will be coming complete with three games. DOOM and Tempest 2000 among them. Those two I'm excited about. I never played Tempest in any form, but hear it's got really good music and is addicting. And I heard the DOOM Jaguar is the best DOOM port of its time. And for the price I paid, I can't lose! It's only my second Atari system and will be the only one that I have that will work in the near future, but I look forward to working on my Jag collection too. Am I correct in thinking the Jaguar CD is really hard to come by? I don't see any one eBay and heard they sell for a lot. But I'd love to get one to try out VidGrid. (I know it's not that good. But I like the music selection they picked.) Oh, AND the DOOM game comes with the controller overlay! That's pretty cool! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...egory=3537&rd=1 Can't wait for it to arrive! I'm getting so much stuff this week. Am I right. Does it really purr when you start it up? A SMS with games, a Sega Genny 2 and CD with games, a Jaguar with games. Wow.. I've been busy! [Opens wallet.

Stone Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 You should have fun And yes, it does...erm...purr [just crank the volume up before you start playing...it's very subtle] Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded a recording of the "purr" a while back. That's cool. Gives it class. IS IT HERE YET??? Tom Petty was right.. Waiting IS the hardest part.

Hyper_Eye Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Congrats on your score. That is a good start. You are right in that Doom and T2k are excellent but you also got Cannon Fodder. I think that is one of the funnest games on the system. You got three excellent games in that deal my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Awesome score! Tempest 2K is one of the best games for the Jag. Maybe if Tyrant ever comes back you could add a rotary controller to your collection and enjoy the game that much more. As for the cd player, they can be had from various retailers if you don't mind spending the money. Otherwise, ebay is the only way to find them and you never know what you're buying... (Paid a crapload for one off ebay and a few months later it died ) Good luck with your new system. Saturn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunstar Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 If you do end up getting a Jagcd with Vidgrid, that game has an AWSOME Jaguar logo on it with an intense "purr"..err, growl. It should have become the standard Jagcd opening logo on Jaguar game cd's, if the Jagcd had lasted long enough to get more titles out...some of the best Jag games are on cd too, plus most new underground/homebrew stuff as well as "lost" titles seem to be coming out on it, so get one if you can. P.S.- all I ever do is play the VidGrid music videos too, could care less about the game, which some do enjoy, but the music selection is very cool, I just hit the button that completes the puzzle so you can just watch the videos. Plus, if you finish the game, or enter an available cheat (on the Jag's cheat sheet; around the net) There is a hidden bonus video: Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

Jasoco Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Speaking of Tempest. I also grabbed a new in plastic wrap Tempest 2000 Soundtrack for $5.99 total. I figured, "Why not? I'm getting the game. Why not have the music as well?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have tried turning the pot back to where it was and still nothing then I would have to say try a new transport. www.linkovitch.me.uk/jaguar for my guide of how to fit. If you don't fancy it I can attempt the repair for you, but no promises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasoco Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 My Jaguar arrived today. It's pretty cool. DOOM is light years ahead of the SNES version. But the controller seems awkward, but it's cool. Too bad these console versions don't have music. I'll have fun with this one, I hope. Recommended games? I have Tempest 2K, DOOM and Cannon Fodder so far. Just point me to some goodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I got my first Jag, it came with Club Drive and I was just randomly pressing buttons to get the game to play I have some good Jag games I could sell to you. Drop me a pm if your interested. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
