Quote from: "TrekMD"LOL I wanted to play some PS4 this past weekend...spent several hours doing updates! Nothing like grabbing a cart, plugging it in, and playing!

Yes! Seems every time I power my PS4 on, there's more to download.... and wait.

Having a go w/ Revenge of the Mutant Camels in Virtual Jaguar. This game is nuts

I find most of Jeff Minters games to be a little nuts :21:

I wonder if the Jag game Attack of the Mutant Penguins took inspiration for it's name from this game?

Saturn · March 31, 2016, 15:54:38 PM

Yeah, anything's possible and since there are so many homages to JM in Jag games, I fully believe it's related in some way. Minter rules! :111:

Was trying to play Gauntlet II in VJ but that shortcut from level 1 to level 6 pretty much did me in. The walls are invisible and with life constantly draining, I didn't stand a chance. Pretty much gave up after I couldn't find a 'map' or route on the net.

Where to go?

Switched over to Beebris for the Jaguar. Great Tetris-like game but the pieces are uncommon and it's harder (for me) to play. Adds difficulty :113:

I've never played those Mutant Camels. Need to check them out. LOL

One of the settings for gameplay includes an AI helper. A little goat dude that walks on his hind legs lol. He's like the AI Droid in Tempest 2000 and helps you. I always play with that little hombre at my side

Great stuff!

Dove back into Gauntlet II and got to level 7

)
Entered level 6 and didn't move until I heard a sound. I think that was the door's opening automatically as I'd read on-screen between levels. Found my way around and BAM! outta the frying pan and into the fire

I'm still hoping they release a cart of this!

Saturn · April 01, 2016, 18:28:39 PM

So am I! 4 players with a Team Tap would make it much easier anyway :113:

Anyway,:

They really need to make Gauntlet II into a cart release! How are you playing it? CD or using the flashcart?

Saturn · April 02, 2016, 14:51:51 PM

I was playing in Virtual Jaguar above. Haven't flashed it to a Skunkboard but might make a Rev 2 into a dedicated 'cart' of it at some point. Would be fun to modify a cart shell w/ the micro USB access port at the top. Just need to find my Dremel

I got a £4 15" Crt last weekend and I have played loads of 8Bit and 16Bit since. I have always had the opinion that CRTS are essential for arcade games, that's why both my cabs have CRTS but I cannot believe how good the NES,PCE,SMS,MD and Snes looked with scan-lines.

Played Rebooteroids for about 6 hours today in Virtual Jaguar. Here are my two highest scores:

And here's a code from the higher of the 2
