Thanks Laird for letting me pick your brain!

I would assume that Joust was going to be part of Dactyl Joust, the Joust update.

Conan was by the same team as Super Burnout and was apparently only about 25% complete, the coders said the game is lost.

Tiny Toons has been released as a prototype. The original game was cancelled because Atari thought it was rubbish. It was re-started as a different game by a different team but never got very far before the license ran out and Atari decieded not to renew it.

I have that Tiny Toons proto and I think Atari made the right choice. It is rubbish!

Thanks Shadowrunner! I liked to play the Mega Drive/Genesis Tiny Toons games. So I would rather have a good game release then a stinker.

Other than the colours, the preview of Tiny Toons on back of Jaguar box, never looked anything special to me.So never saw it as any real loss it never arrived.

This is the original version that was cancelled which is avaliable on cart as a prototype:

And here is the newer version that didn't get very far:

Nice review Laird! Not sure how I missed reading it before now. I enjoy platform/puzzle games. Big Looney Tunes fan as well. It fits my gaming interests, so I was always curious. Guess I had my head in the Sega clouds with the Mega Drive/Genesis, Sega CD and 32x in the 1990's. Never paid much attention to the other systems. A few years ago I found some of my old gaming magazines after a move and started to wonder what Jaguar games were never released.

I like those games! I have most of the Looney Tunes game for the Nes, Snes and Genesis. They both look better even the unfinished one. The Taz games on the Super Nes and Genesis were not all that good but were released. Wonder why Atari released Checkered Flag and not Tiny Toons?

Because Checkered Flag does actually look good and isn't that bad to play once you get the hang of it

Guess, I have not figured it out yet. I will practice more.

And least we forget...

Atar needed something to 'combat' Virtua Racing (all the rage then) on MD and 32X.

C.Flag just really needed lot more play testing, fix the controls, bit more more on the visuals etc, could have been a contender.

I agree Checkered Flag is a very good looking game and it has lots of tracks and options too. The control is just so hard to get used to but when you do it's a pretty good game.

I still need to play so many games on the Jag that I have bought and not touched, or not played enough. I wanna play more skyhammer and battlemorph, haven't touched blue lightening, baldies, Robinsons Requiem, Vid Grod or Mutant Penguins and a few others yet!

Trust me, you really don't want to touch Blue Lightning on the Jag CD! Such a crushing disappointment after the sublime Lynx version.

probably a good thing I've never played the lynx one then lol
