socrates63 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 👍 Oh yeah, Everdrive for sure. These cartridges that run rom files are amazing. I don't want to get into collecting physical games beyond what I've collected already. RickR and Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Creep Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I have never owned a Jag. I have hd a Jag controller once. LOL socrates63, Sabertooth and Justin 1 2 Don't just watch TV, PLAY IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) 405,150 Third play. I had one planet left on the second cluster. Here are some hints for the few playing: - Take your time to find all of the pods. Finding more pods than you need to open the portal gives big bonus points. -If you collect all the pods and fly through a blue gate - only in some levels - you'll go to a timed bonus round to resupply and get extra points. -Take out the enemy radar stations. This freezes flying enemies. Once they are frozen, pick them off for big points. -Cruise missiles are effective of "Jokers" and the "Headhunter" That's all I have now. I don't know if I'll get another play in. This one took a while. Good luck everyone! I hope more people follow Rick's lead and try out the Phoenix emulator.

socrates63 Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 14,250 I posted earlier is still my highest score -- sad, I know 😆 but the Jaguar is a phenomenal console. I'm glad I got the chance to try it out. RickR, Justin, Sabertooth and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually pre-ordered and got the mini (still unopened) but would prefer playing on actual hardware. That's one I may want in the future (is there anything that I don't want outside of Pokemon games? 🙄 😁) I got my Jaguar, composite cable, one controller, and three games for $300 from a local seller. With the conventions gone this year, local guys have been selling online regularly. I believe Pink Gorilla has a Jaguar for $350 for the console and probably controller (can't remember). With the extra games, composite cable, and no 10% sales tax, I figure I saved at least a Benjamin. On 12/9/2020 at 4:03 PM, RickR said: TG16 is so much better than I thought it would be. I honestly like it more than Genesis or Super Nintendo. If you decide to buy one, make sure to budget an extra $100 for the everdrive. WOW it's so great to read this. @btbfilms76 I've been trying to show people this since TG16 was still in Toys R Us. Idk how NEC/TTI let this fall through the cracks, if it was a marketing failure, an inability to bring over the best games from Japan, or if there just wasn't enough room left for Bonk and Zonk in a saturated market dominated by Mario and Sonic. TurboGrafx-16 is an absolute gem, as is the TurboExpress and TurboDuo. I'm glad you guys are enjoying them, and get ready for a TurboGrafx-16 Squad Challenge coming up pretty soon! btbfilms76 and socrates63 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 @Gianna and I are getting our scores in today! It's a great day of wrapping presents, cooking food, music, and enjoying some Atari Jaguar by the tree. Here's my score so far: High Score: 45,800 socrates63, RickR, HDN and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the first Squad Challenge we've had where I actually had the game before the challenge started! Not quite! On 12/3/2020 at 3:54 PM, nosweargamer said: I am super happy to see the next Squad Challenge being mentioned as well! It gives me a chance to potentially dig out the game if I own it. I would be totally happy if this becomes the norm. 😉 @HDN @nosweargamer There are annual events we have in the forums which are fairly easy to predict, or require a little extra advance warning. The Pole Position II Grand Prix every Summer, the F-ZERO Christmas Challenge every Winter, HSW Day Ultimate Yars' Challenge, Summer Pizza Party Festival, and so on. Usually in these cases we let you know the game in advance as they are annual events and predictable, but hold off on announcing what course or level we're playing until the Squad Challenge goes up to avoid any unfair advantage.

Justin Posted December 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 I'm gonna give this one more shot! I made it to the final world with 199,400 points and nothing left to do on the planet to get a new ship awarded at 200,000. Problem is with this game it only awards the bonus ship once you've completed the level. Would've been great to have an extra life come up when I crossed the 200,000 mark!

Sabertooth Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 477,900. Gave it one more shot. Made it halfway through the third planet cluster. I've got to say, over 26 years I've revisited Cybermorph a handful of times and this is the most fun I've had with it. socrates63, Justin, HDN and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Congratulations Sabertooth! Congratulations to @Sabertooth his big win! Sabertooth just become Atari I/O's first Jaguar Champion! And a very special thanks to @RickR for helping out with Jaguar Emulation! @Sabertooth has had an incredible run this month! He won BTB's Atari 7800 Paddle Controller Giveaway, Namco shared his Pac-Man posts on social media, and Sabertooth just took the top spot in the Final Standings with an outstanding score of 477,900, becoming our first Jaguar Champion! I squeaked by with 201,200 points to claim 2nd Place on the board. @btbfilms76 was on fire and put up an impressive score to reach our 3rd spot on the board with 85,050 points. @Gianna was hot on BTB's tail with 81,550 points, @RickR made an impressive showing with 24,950, and @socrates63 rounds out the board bringing home his new Atari Jaguar to post a score of 14,250 points! Congratulations once again to @Sabertooth for the win, and as always I'd like to encourage Sabertooth to post his new high score on the Scoreboard, and let's make sure this Challenge continues on! NOTE: Our next High Score Squad Challenge is the 2020 F-ZERO Christmas Challenge for Super Nintendo! Be there!

RickR Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Great job @Sabertooth, and everyone else too! This one was a lot of fun. The emulation gave me a taste of what I'm missing. I need to find a real Jaguar just like @socrates63 did. socrates63, Justin and Sabertooth 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Thanks @Justin and @RickR! As I said, this is the most fun I've had with Cybermorph. It has its shortcomings - particularly the lack of variety and in-game music - but there is still some fun to be had here. Put on some music and that second problem is solved! 😂 The sequel, Battlemorph, addresses nearly all of Cybermorph's shortcomings and has held up really well over the years. I can only imagine the response the Jaguar may have received had Cybermorph offered the same level of polish. I hope to see you all on F-Zero! I think my December run is timed out but I'll give it a go. socrates63 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Great job, @Sabertooth! I wonder whether this competition set the record for the highest point differential between first and last place 😄 It was very fun round, and I walk away with a story on why I acquired a Jaguar.
