RickR Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 FINALLY! I've wanted one of these for a loooooong time. Check it out! It came with the Pinball Fantasies game and two controllers (I already had Cybermorph). Isn't she a beaut? If anyone has carts to sale or trade, please let me know!

DegasElite Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Yes, it is an adventure collecting Jaguar games, for sure. Glad you found a Jag. :O) RickR and Sabertooth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Welcome to the world of Jaguar! Quote If anyone has carts to sale or trade, please let me know! Jaguar stuff is almost up there with the NEO*GEO stuff. I'd recommend a few titles but they probably won't come cheap. Definitely keep an eye out for Tempest 2000. That's easily the Jag's top-dog. I've never played Pinball Fantasies. And I still play Cybermorph to this day. One of my favorites on the console. RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 You know things are bad when someone uses a game console shell to house "expensive" dental gear. The cartridge shell is even the same! Oh...and don't forget...they took the GameCube's handle, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruiner is also pretty good, but I always prefer to fire up Pin Fantasies when given the choice between the two.

The game is fun, but the circus visuals and sounds are a little too creepy to me. I'll go with the Stones n Bones one next. Thanks!

Sabertooth Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 With the price of most of the better Jag titles, it might be worth getting a Jaguar Game Drive from RetroHQ. Here in the States they can be had from Atari Age or StoneAge Gamer. It's a great way to get the whole cart library, demos, homebrews, Protos and there is even (spotty) support for some CD games.

Thank you. That was on my list of things to consider. I may have to save up for one of those, but it sure looks like it's worth it.

Jaguar games are either hard to find or worth a LOT of money now...and those that sell them know this. And it doesn't matter if the game is complete or not most of the time. Still, the Jaguar is an awesome console to have. I always did like how the console looked without the CD add-on. Personally, I think it is the sleekest looking system ever made. And even if the controllers are huge they are comfortable. RickR and Sabertooth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh hey! Never too late; so good to see you here! I love the Jaguar a lot more than I thought I would. I'm having fun with what I have so far and I'm really hoping to get a GameDrive if they become available again.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 If I could just find a reasonable priced Tempest 2000, even if it was just the cart, I'd be very happy. Easily the Jaguar's killer app. I*War and Iron Soldier as well. Power Drive Rally wasn't bad either but felt more like a 16-bit game instead of a Jaguar game. Wolfenstein 3-D was different than the PC version while Doom was an exact port minus the music. I would recommend all those to anyone new to the Jaguar. They are easy to pick up and play.

Outside of loading up T2K on a flash cart, I am in the same boat. I'm not a collector these days and refuse to pay eBay prices for Jaguar games. No offense to any collectors if that's your thing to get into, I just can't... well, I refuse to do it. Especially in the tune of $100+ Sad too, to think that Best Electronics had them new for like $40 just a few years ago but now they're completely sold out. I'll probably just burn one to a cart someday and throw it in a clear shell and slap on professionally printed label.
