Justin Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 I've always wanted to see Out Run on the Jaguar. I have one of the highest scores of all time on the arcade version performed in public. I hope to see this make some progress, this looks like a direct port of the Atari ST version which isn't as appealing as the Genesis version. With some more time this could be be excellent. If it's simply the ST version I'll pass on this but encourage them to keep working on it. Boris, Jinroh and MistaMaddog 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this out, quite promising in my opinion: Hope to see it finalized some day... walter_J64bit, Boris, Justin and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That actually looks really really nice, especially the scrolling backgrounds. It was always my belief that Atari put too much emphasis behind the 3-D aspects of the Atari Jaguar (undeniably what was coming next) but didn't build enough on 2-D gaming. Neo-Geo and others offered incredible 2-D arcade experiences, and that was an arena Atari could've shined in had they wanted to. Even bringing Pit Fighter over to the Jaguar as a launch title with great sound would have been terrific. Boris and MistaMaddog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Exactly. It's actually a wonder they licensed Raiden 😄. But Pit Fighter would indeed have been a very welcome addition to the early Jag lineup. Regarding Outrun on the Jag: It is the ST port, only the music got an upgrade. Which is a pity, as I think that version is next to unplayable, but I guess he won't refine it, as it was something he did for a friend of his (as far as I read), so he will not touch that again. Nitro looks pretty nice, but the video is already two years old, so I won't get my hopes up too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted November 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 I wish CyranoJ would fix the controller setup, it's odd to play having use hold up on the D-pad instead of using the "A" button for the acceleration.

Boris Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Just saw an AtariAge program for fall 2023, from which many games are still not out yet, but Nitrous made the "coming soon" list! So I guess it must be pretty much completed and might arrive next year then (hopefully). Thanks to Smallywood over on AA in the Rocket Ranger announcement thread. phoboz and MistaMaddog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
