John Hancock Atari Jaguar homebrew "Block Em, Sock Em" now available FOR FREE

[RickR]

Retro-gaming YouTube legend John Hancock's Genesis homebrew "Block Em, Sock Em" has been ported to Jaguar.  Not just ported, but also improved.  The ROM has been available for free by our friends over at AtariAge:  https://forums.atariage.com/topic/352872-new-puzzle-game-blockem-sockem-for-the-atari-jaguar-free-download/

It works great with emulation or if you have a Jaguar "Game Drive" cart.  It's a puzzle game and it looks like a lot of fun!

All due credit to the Jaguar community at AtariAge.  Please don't post the ROM file here or anywhere else...provide a link to AtariAge instead.

Nice to see aftermarket games being ported from other retro consoles to the Atari Jaguar.

Hopefully more Jaguar ports to come, if possible with some enhancements (enabled due to the extra power of the Jaguar)

Keep up the good work!

Cool! Thanks for sharing the link, Rick. I bought this game from John at PRGE but haven't played it yet. It's great to have the Jaguar option.

Here it is in action.  It's a fun game!

Darryl told me about the Jag port, but I had not seen it. Looks very smooth on the Jag.
