Jaguar recommendations

[Kaladron]

Ipicked up a Jag and Tempest 2000 the other day, which is absolutely brilliant as I expected.

I also got Iron Soldier and Cybermorph but they turned out to be shat.

Can anyone recommend any more Jaguar games or is it really a one title machine?

AVP

[Sabreman]

It's a one title machine, seriously. AvP has aged terribly.

[Mad Gear]

Should be a short list

[moonwhistle]

Not much to recommend I'm afraid besides Tempest, Raiden is pretty decent though.

Better than the MD/SNES versions but not as good as the PS1 version, but at least it's cheap and has battery back up.

You're all insane. Kasumi Ninja has a farting Scotsman. Teh win.

Doom was really good on the machine at the time. I`ve still got Wolfenstein and it`s good for a 10 minute laugh every couple of years

[kernow]

doom is alright, john carmack helped work on it apparently and said it was one of the best versions of the title.

O_o

buy rayman, great game, i bremeber seeing it back in the day and it totally blew me away, the magical cartoon world rayman exsists in is still beautiful to look at to this day. Certainly a must buy for the jaguar.

Alien Vs Predator - It hasn't aged THAT badly. Certainly not as bad as Wolfenstein, and I personally still enjoy it more than the original Doom, due to the choice of 3 characters. But it is limited due to only one visual plane (as opposed to Doom which had raised sections).

Defender 2000 - Also by Minter


Battlesphere - ?100 to ?1000 in price, depending on eBay's whims. A neato 3D space blasting game, made in limited quantities, which also supports a ridiculous amount of simaltaneous players thanks to the Jag link-up. Though you're unlikely to find anyone else with a copy to take advantage of this.


Black Ice White Noise - Was this a Jag CD game, or a Jag cartridge game? Since I've heard that it was released in small amounts on cartridge. Not entirely sure. But the previews looked damned interesting. A kind of sci-fi Bladerunner style game, apparently.


Actually, only the first 2 games I listed are easy enough to even get hold of. I'm afraid the must have Jag list really only stands at 4 or 5 games.


EDIT: BIWN was in fact for the Jag CD. Plus the unfinished version is free to download too.

Brutal Sports Football is not a bad little game and can be purchased for next to nothing.

Protector Special Edition is a Defender clone that is vastly superior to Defender 2k. However, it will cost you about ?50.

Super Burnout is a semi-decent Hang-On clone that will entertain you for a few hours. Decent graphics, very fast, and very cheap!

In all honesty you won't get anything close to Tempest 2k (best game ever imho) - so sit back, lights off, volume up, and feed your head to the web.8)

We've got Brutal Sports Fottbal at work. I might pick it up cheap as I remember the Amiga version being fun.

Agreed had the Amiga version . Ace fun in 2 player mode, can't beat the sound effects used for the stamping , and kicking you mates head through the goals was the tops.

Oh happy Days

[Kaladron]

Right! I'll have Brutal Sports by Friday. Now if only I could find a boxed copy of AvP.

Also, remember that AvP comes with 3 pad overlays. I bought mine unboxed, with only 1 overlay for like ?20 on the bay of fleas.
