dalton4life Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I've had it for about a week and it's been getting most of my playing time. I paid $150 for the systems, 2 controllers, AV cables and 16 games (most with boxes). I've won a few more games am ready to try some of the pricer newer titles down the road. Right now I'm playing the heck out of some Tempest 2000, Wolfenstein and AVP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanadium Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Good selection to start out with! I need to drag my Jaguar out and give it a spin -- been too busy lately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hello, I've had it for about a week and it's been getting most of my playing time. I paid $150 for the systems, 2 controllers, AV cables and 16 games (most with boxes).Great starting package! I've won a few more games am ready to try some of the pricer newer titles down the road.Don't automatically assume the newer titles are better though. Right now I'm playing the heck out of some Tempest 2000, Wolfenstein and AVP.It's hard to improve on T2K and AVP for starters. However, there'sa LOT more fun to be had, and half the fun is exploring new games eh? Don't miss out on less popular games some people say aren't original, like Zool 2, or Doom, great versions both. Unique games like FlipOut and Attack of the Mutant Penguins should not be overlooked either! Cheers, and glad you've discovered the fun from a great machine, JustClaws.

Gunstar Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Great to hear you love it! Great starter set! (though you didn't mention ALL the 16 games, so you may have some dogs too) My suggestion to you is to check out the Jaguar section here at AtariAge to see screenshots and descriptions of games, then if something looks good to you from that, ask us here and we can tell you if they truely are gems in the Jag library or if looks/descriptions are decieving. have fun!

Well my package came with FlipOut (which my finacee likes) and Attack of the Mutant Penguins and I bought the Wolfenstein 3D. Off the newer ones down the road I was thinking Protector SE and Skyhammer. So in all I bought the Wolfenstein and my Jag came with AVP T2K Iron Soldier Rayman Attack of the Mutant Penguins Flip Out Zoop Cybermorph Hoover Strike Pitfall Trevor McFur I-War Zool 2 Raiden Busby Dino Dudes I've done some research on the site and other on some good and bid on an won a few others of Ebay so I'll be set for a little while but I'd like to own every good game. Others am waiting on from various auctions costing me about $100 total are: Ruiner Pinball Pinball Fantasies Super Burnout Cannon Fodder Kasumi Nina Ultra Vortex Missle Command 3D NBA Jam TE Brutal Spors Football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalton4life Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 and thanks again. It's a nice system to own and yes it's gotten a lot of attention from friends who've visited me since I've gotten it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper_Eye Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Wow... you really got some great games in that package. T2K AVP Iron Soldier Rayman Zoop Pitfall Zool 2 are all really good. Some of the ones listed I haven't played enough to judge. Out of the games you want to get Missile Command 3D is my favorite. Super Burnout is a close second. That game got so much play on my Jag back in the day. I used to be able to ride every track flawlessly. While some people don't like it I really like Kasumi Ninja. Ultra Vortex is arguably better but I like them both. Cannon Fodder is awesome. Every game you have listed in the ones your waiting on are good games in my opinion. Out of the games you already have there are only a couple of duds. Most of those are good IMO if not excellent. You aren't leaving yourself much to look forward to heh. You are snagging all great titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are snagging all great titles. I know right. But with most good games being able to be aquired for under $20 on Ebay I figured why not? Plus there is just something way cooler about having a Jag set up with a bunch of good games as opposed to all the other systems of the time which I just emulate on my PS2 anyway. I think most my friends who are gamers in the age range of 23-35 didn't realize the Jaguar was as good as it was. From working at Electronics Boutique in 1995 I knew the system at least had some good games. And thanks for the welcome all. I'm glad to be part of the Jag scene now!

justclaws Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hello, I know right. But with most good games being able to be aquired for under $20 on Ebay I figured why not? Indeed, because prices vary dramatically. Plus there is just something way cooler about having a Jag set up with a bunch of good games as opposed to all the other systems of the time which I just emulate on my PS2 anyway. Yes, and Jaguar emulation still has a way to go yet. I think most my friends who are gamers in the age range of 23-35 didn't realize the Jaguar was as good as it was. From working at Electronics Boutique in 1995 I knew the system at least had some good games.That's a very telling remark indeed.It's nice to see people are getting a different view from grass roots! And thanks for the welcome all. I'm glad to be part of the Jag scene now!You're very welcome.I'm glad AA forums are here, open, and lively to entice you in. Cheers, JustClaws.

Rocko Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Glad to hear you like it! My jag doesnt get much play (I got 3 games: Fever Pitch, Pitfall, and Cannon Fodder, they are o.k, but I have beaten two of em. and Cannon fodder gets very monotonous after like 2 hours) but I have an AvP coming (within this week), so I am gonna hook it up agian. Hopefully, I can get all the games on my wantlist (for the jag, well, all of them, but I am focusing on the jag at the moment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 T2K.... T2K.... T2K..... yes... Yes... YES! My absolute most favorite game for the system by all means and can be had for what? $10 or $15? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Fodder is the one of those that you have that interests me the most as it's the only Jag Army game I think. AVP plays great today. I just wish you could look up and down in it.

Cobra Kai Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 You started out with class my friend! I'll be honest here, you will be hard pressed to be as satisfied with the rest of the Jaguar library after starting out with T2K, AvP, and Wolf3D...those are 3 of the very best games on the machine, especially T2K which is SHOCKINGLY good. Thats not to say there aren't other great games, just that T2K is one of the best games of all times even considering all other systems out there, but you won't be let down. It looks like you have I-War, now thats a game that I really dig, but doesn't get alot of talk here, although maybe once in awhile. But I think alot of people view it as average. For myself its in my top 10 best Jaguar games, it has great techno music which would be right at home on the T2K soundtrack, and I like the whole environment of being 'in' the internet, plus there's a good array of weapons available for your sled. Also the 2 pinball carts are awesome on Jag. You already have an awesome selection of titles though, Rayman, Raiden...both supreme games...make sure to take plenty of time to play these games through and enjoy them to the hilt. I've always had the problem of buying too many games at once, for a system, and then not devoting enough time to ANY of them. If you must buy a newer Jag title, I most certainly recommend Protector SE, its a sure thing to satisfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalton4life Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 I see Protector as the 1st "new" Jag title that I'd buy but I'd probably wanna get skyhammer at the same time but with $160 for the 2 that won't be for months I'm sure. And yes, yes, yes T2K is shockingly good. It's addictive like Tetris on steroids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocko Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Well, my post about my jaguar is no good anymore. I just got AvP in the mail today, and I am gonna play this one forever! (Although, I am still looking to aquire more) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzTron451 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Y'know what really gripes me? I had a chance to buy a Jaguar CD unit, plus the original cartridge unit, STILL mint inside of the box, for only $50. However, it was used, so I don't know what kind of condition it was in, but if it had the original box, it, surely, would've been fine. Just gets to me...

+Saturn Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Hello dalton4life! You have some really fine games there, for sure. For another entertaining experience, you could grab a couple copies of AirCars from B&C and an inexpensive Jaglink off ebay to network the consoles. As many agree, a two player game of AirCars is hilarious- whether working together or against one another. The graphics are absurd but this only adds to the fun. Either way, good luck with your collection. Hope you score some more gems. B&C AirCars repros It's listed almost halfway down the page.

kuifje76 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I did buy today an Jaguar too! I'm fond of it already, I got the games: Checkered Flag Doom Dragon The Bruce Lee Story Kasumi Ninja NBA Jam Pinball Power Drive Rally Rayman Tempest Val d'Isère Skiing and Snowboarding I like rayman!!!

Isgoed Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 To kuifje76, I saw the advert on Marktplaats too Except Checkered Flag these are all great games! Some people don't like Kasumi Ninja though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuifje76 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I didn't have a Jaguar yet... so I had to have one.. I had to go to the North for the Jag, and I am in the south... Where are you from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htbaa Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Yay, another Dutchman . Hmm, too bad you're from the south. I've never met any Jaguar fan. Me? I'm from Heerenveen, far up in the north. In fact, I don't like to call me a Dutchman, but a Fries . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scored a Defender 2000 and my Jag game total is about 30 now. I told my fiancee I was going to chill out from eBay for a little while. So I have plenty of games now. I'll get some more eventually. I want to have an almost complete collection with CD player. I will pass on some of the crap titles though. I have Ultra Vortex and that's kinda cool and then I played Kasumi Ninja which was pure crap. Now it's time to start playing some of my other Jag gems.

Isgoed Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 To kuifje76: I live in Overijssel, in the east of Holland, but I don't mind to travel so I visited the Dutch Atariday in Dordrecht which was a lot of fun! To Htbaa: Heerenveen? It's not that far away from Overijssel And now you said that you are Fries, maybe the American and English people think you are some kind of "eatable"? I don't know what you guys experiences are, but when I tell someone here in Holland that I have an Atari Jaguar, they don't know exactly what I am talking about, most of them never heard of this game system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
