So tonight my dad got to see Tempest 2000 fired up on the Jaguar. He was a big arcade nut back in the late 70s/early 80s. I fired up Tempest for him. He didn't recognize the title, but I knew with the amount of time he spent around arcade cabinets back then that his memory would be jogged once he saw it. Immediately he recognized it when gameplay started & nostalgia set it LOL. Pretty cool night thanks to the Jag (and Jeff Minter)

His favorite was Defender (I don't own D2K yet ) I did let him play Defender on the Midway Hits on Dreamcast about 10 years ago. Time to grab D2K & bring him back to the glory days of 1980! My dad has a BIG part in me being into games. He would always bring to stores & pizza parlors with arcade cabinets. He spent a-many-o quarters getting dominated by me in Street Fighter II & NBA Jam! Great memories

He's back! eBay

I'm a big fan on 2D fighters. I really dig Ultra Vortek on the Jag. ANNIHILATION TIME!

I don't own DDv or Dragon, and they're next on my Jag pick up list!

I see DDv has "overkills" & Dragon has "chi meter" that builds up for special attacks. I'm into learning all the combos and specials.

While both titles might not be that strong, I am looking forward to trying them out!

Which should I buy first? Which has the better special move system and combos?

Thanks!

Hi,

Finaly I found myself the only machine that can beat the 64bit power of the Jaguar the machine is called Atari ATW800.

This transputer system I got has an Atari ST as I/O unit and 11 Inmos T800 20Mhz (64-bit) parallel processors and a videocard that can output VGA quality.
I just cleaned the machine will power it on this weekend, need to find me a RGB monitor first with sync-on-green (3x bnc)

Does someone know if there are sync-on-green (3x bnc) to VGA convertors on the market ?

And sealed! Too bad there is no way I can afford whatever this goes for.

My writing, others' videos (some of whom no doubt are regulars here and elsewhere-big thanks, I hope it brings in some views). All my opinions, blah blah. I think I was relatively critical and balanced. I guess it's aimed at the non-Jaguar fan, or at least someone who might be tempted to pick up the cheaper (crappier) games.

A couple of other articles/reviews/interviews I recently wrote are on there too, as well as several years worth of stuff from the gang who've been with said site from the beginning. Enjoy!

I try to upload these repeatedly to the skunkboard and nothing happens. Is it something on my end or are these files no good?

AS THE THREAD TITLE...
quite clearly implies, has anyone here ever done that, or even, considering doing that?!

I will confess, that such a thing has never crossed my mind personally, but perhaps someone who is head over heels with the Jaguar has done this in the past? Or is thinking of doing this soon... or in the future?

THE REASON...
this type of subject has been brought into the forefront is that I have recently been taking my NeoGeo AES collecting much more seriously. I have also made the special connection that SNK's NeoGeo games actually touch my soul within. A feeling of excitement and anticipation washes all over me everytime I fire up the console. I have always felt similarly about NeoGeo games all my life - via the Saturn, DC & PS2. However, owning the home console with such brutal titles packed neatly onto cart really drives those longterm feelings of passion and admiration home.

As such, this is the only console that has EVER made me look over my collection, 15 years strong, and start questioning my ownership of certain elements. I DOUBT I would do this, at least in the near future, but I sometimes have this urge to sell everything and just pour the pooled finances into the NeoGeo. The ultimate commitment?

I DON'T FEEL THIS WAY...
about any other machine, including the Jaguar I'm afraid. That doesn't mean I don't care for or respect the console and it's games. Just... the NeoGeo is on a whole other level, for me personally.

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW...
is does anyone here feel this way about any specific console, or more specifically, the Atari Jaguar! Does the "Roar" and Jaguar logo, plus jingle, and Jaguar cube do to you what the NeoGeo logo and jingle does to me? The '100 Mega Shock' logo plus "bump" is usually the icing on the cake too!

Any similar stories (Jaguar or otherwise) I'd like to hear about them

Cheers guys...
