Retro Video Gamer

• Missing textures on the cart version like you said
• No music on the cart version
• Cart version dosn't have that awesome FMV intro
• You can't save your game on the cart version

• Don't use the assault rifle for shooting at anything other than enemies
• Use your fist or the chainsaw to demolish all the buildings
• You can also save ammo by stamping on the tanks
• A well placed grenade can take out several buildings at once
• One of the buttons (C I think) speeds up turning when held down
• On the first mission take out the central city first to reveal all the crates and then go take out the secret city afterwards and go back for crates when you need energy or ammo.

Quote from: "dcultrapro""SECRET" City?? hmm.... ok if you can clarify where that is I'll try the other stuff and might be in with a chance lol. thanks

Quote from: "The Laird"Another nice video mate! Super Burnout is one of my favourite games for the Jaguar, here is something that might help you with it:

Press 2, 1, 7, 9, 4 at the title screen and it will make a sound. Now The Punisher bike will available on the bike selection screen.

Quote from: "dcultrapro"Um yeah i guess, tho how do i do that? put a link on the screen I mean, I guess I could just type it but it won't be an active link just writing on the screen

Quote from: "dcultrapro"I'm still waiting on a custom sig too lol!! I think I'll be happy to settle with some sort of Phantasy Star Online/Sonic Adventure/Shenmue 2 kinda theme but I'll find the thread in question and mention it there

Quote from: "dcultrapro"cool will do, meantime regarding me shouting out to retro video gamer, do you want me to JUST put a link on the screen and in the description and maybe just suggest people should go there or something? I have to upload part 2 of Jet Set Radio soon and then I'll be doing some new vids with some other DC games and new intros so I could add it in then

Quote from: "dcultrapro"did you guys see the shoutout to RVG in my vids? from now on I could just add a clipart like Laird does on the front of his vids for RVG? saves me babbling in every video lol

Quote from: "dcultrapro"nice, think I saw it, about Jaguar pronunciation right?

How was the vid? I think it was pretty cool

Quote from: "dcultrapro"good shout, I'll have to see what I can cook up for Hover Strike CD, I actually quite like that game

Quote from: "dcultrapro"hmmm.... not sure I would agree with you on the graphical comparisons there, but then I haven't looked at it in a while, though I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a number of Saturn games that looked better/crisper, such as Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, but I'll have to think about it when I watch it again, I do remember it having pretty nice graphics.

If anything I actually think Phase Zero had the most graphical potential, if they'd had time to flesh it out and include more enemies, detail, power ups, longer levels that couldve been the game of the system

Quote from: "dcultrapro"EDIT: just been looking at the graphics from a nice quality youtube vid and the polygons/textures do look quite nice, however its pretty obvious that its only able to display a limited number and there is no real detail, just repeated metal textures and patterns, they appear to literally repeat every few frames and the draw distance is minimal, still it does look fairly crisp for a Jag game with Polygons, but I'd have to say that the Saturn out performs it, I mean the vehicle isn't seen, its just a 2nd sprite taking up half the screen, where as the Dragon in Panzer Dragoon Saga is full polygon along with the walls and environment details, and all though the draw isn't much larger than the Jag what you see is far more detailed.... still I guess it depends on how you judge it I suppose

Quote from: "dcultrapro"aaah ok, I just thought you meant any 3d styles, and fair point though Hover Strike still doesn't impress me as much as all that, I mean I could count the different textures on one hand they just repeat and with the incredibly low draw and the fact that the hud/inside cockpit graphic takes up a lot of the screen, I'd have a hard time agreeing that its better looking than Krazy Ivan, the polygonal characters, enemies, items and other things in Krazy Ivan are far more prevalent and frequent and you can tell that Hover strike is literally loading them all as you turn, still there really isn't much between them, and I'm no expert, I'd have to look at KI again to compare as I haven't seen that game in YEARS!! Last time I tried to play it my copy didn't seem to run properly

Quote from: "dcultrapro"to be perfectly honest I wasn't reading word for word as I'm at work, let me have a better read later on and I'll see, I've not exactly played many levels of Hoverstrike so maybe I'm just judging based on the first two levels, I'll play it again this week and do a vid

Quote from: "dcultrapro"lol yeah I tend to ramble a little but hey, that's me! if you ever move back over this way you'll have to let me know, would be good to have someone around whos into wierd old video games lol

Quote from: "dcultrapro"lol, I think I'd probably come under that stoner who doesn't know what he's talking about bracket lol!

so are you still in Hatfield? I thought you moved further away or something?

anyway thanks, though I don't pretend to know as much as you about the actual technical specs on these machines etc, I just love them and love showing people the games on them :P

No I am in Berkshire, hence why I said this place is nicer than (S)Hatfield 

Quote from: "dcultrapro"well actually a couple people mentioned loving it and so I put it on later in the day but I don't think anyone played it, I left and went for food in the pub lol

Quote from: "dcultrapro"I know its not retro related in the least but I consider a lot of you guys on here to be mates and I'm thinking about uploading some vids from my wedding that I recently aquired, there is one of my wife and I just after the ceremony, one of my speech at the breakfast and one of my best man speech as well, just interested to know whether theres enough interest for me to upload it, if there is I may put a seperate topic in offtopic or somewhere like that. Not sure if I will put it as public or unlisted on my channel atm

Quote from: "dcultrapro"aaaah... funnily enough the only snooker/pool game I have is Maximum Pool from NTSC region, no jimmy white sadly lol

Quote from: "dcultrapro"hey guys! My latest video on my channel is a mystery unboxing of some retro video gaming AWESOMENESS!! Enjoy

Quote from: "dcultrapro"not sure, not sure what I will do it on yet...!

Quote from: "onthinice"I really liked G1. I thought the use of multiple bots like the Aerobots, Combaticons,  Constructicons and my favorite the Stunticons was pure genius. Jazz is my favorite Transformer.  The first movie was great till he was killed off.

By this time Laird is telling Zapiy that nerds have invaded the site. lol

I've been watching Beast Wars of late. The more I watch the more I like of the series. Beast Machines is deep so I am having a hard time staying interested.

I really like the new Transformer Prime. I think my wife gets tired of me telling her that Megatron is voiced by the same guy who does Fred on Scooby Doo. It is great to hear Peter Cullen as Optimus and Megatron is a real bad a**. Probably the most faithfull return to the original series so far. Maybe just darker which makes it more grownup and means I do not have to feel like a nerd while watching.

 

Quote from: "dcultrapro"yeah could do a feature on it, though I haven't got a massive amount of games for it yet but I am definitely enjoying Ninja Spirit (forgot to mention that one) Alien Crush and Dragon Spirit. I might play around with some ideas this weekend as the wife is out Saturday night

Quote from: "dcultrapro"lol sounds good! I can agree with what you said on all those points I wouldn't agree with any of those things people moan about. On SOME games I do sometimes see a little sprite flicker (the only time I've noticed it more than once is at the start of Ninja Spirit during the intro with the wolf but I haven't noticed it anywhere else so far and its barely noticeable) or whatever you call it but its certainly not on the level that happened on the Master System for example and is certainly not a massive issue that effects my enjoyment. But yeah I'm definitely tempted to make something about it

Quote from: "dcultrapro"exactly, I didn't mean that was a problem with the PAL system I meant what you said lol, that its probably a minor inherent trait of the system its self. Certainly nothing you wouldn't expect from a console 20+ years old!!

Quote from: "dcultrapro"cheers buddy, yeah I love the game its just a frustrating one until you get used to it

so a slightly side related issue here... I was wondering what you guys think I should do, I was thinking about monetizing my channel but that would mean adverts and two problems with adverts, firstly people who watch my channel won't be too happy, and second could I get in trouble with people like Sony, MS, Sega etc for making money out of my videos?

So I was thinking what do you guys think about me emailing the respective companies and asking for permission, is that a worthwhile idea or is it not worth it? just interested to know what you guys think

Quote from: "dcultrapro"you mean if I record my own footage from a game? Ok thats cool but I have definitely had some copyright notices on my channel for footage before, specifically for the sound most of the time. So for example I had an MSR video for Dreamcast up and the intro tune to that caused me to get a copyright note, so I just thought I'd check

Quote from: "dcultrapro"aaah ok sorry, I was at work and must've missed that when I saw the vid about Chaos Control, that explains a lot. So on the CDI I assume you moved the cursor with a controller right? Does that mean you could hypothetically use a controller on the Saturn? I dunno I guess I would be keen to try both control options

anyway what did you think of the new artwork and tshirt? I put a fair bit o work into that new poster and it was just pretty spontaneous lol.. I never plan these things

Quote from: "dcultrapro"not bad? Gee thanks! I spent ages on that! lol. you try to find a HIGH RES Atari sign on google that's any good and doesn't look like some wierdo drew it with crayons, oh and the RVG logo is on there in the middle, the design from my channel should be right in the middle of the poster

Quote from: "dcultrapro"oh yeah I probably should've mentioned that in my update, whoops!! its a nice bit of kit but it only works on my ipad 2 and so far its kinda hard to get the controls how you want, I've tried half a dozen games so far and 1 or 2 work pretty well but overall I think it needs a little work to get the controls a bit more up to scratch. I'll go into more detail in my vid

Quote from: "dcultrapro"Yeah, good shout, i can just upload it to my channel right?

Quote from: "dcultrapro"I know and believe it or not I haven't forgotten I just haven't been able to get the piece of shit to work with my new android phone AT ALL (Sony Xperia Z) and I'm actually really hacked off about it. I'd be quite interested in talking to them about it. I have messaged people that have done apps which they say make it work but I don't seem to be able to get anywhere. Shame as I really like the little device. I just don't feel I can do a good review of it yet, I could do one now but I'm probably going to give it about a 5/10 as it stands, it has minimal support on the Ipad and nothing so far seems to work on Android :21:

Quote from: "dcultrapro"worked fine? How did you do it did you just connect it up via standard bluetooth? I've been trying to get it working on my emulator programs and nothing, what games did it work with?

Quote from: "dcultrapro"and they all worked? I was able to get it to connect and recognise the device but none of the games I tried worked. Ok well if it doesn't work properly for me before the weekend I'll bring it to you at revival. Been a real pain in the arse that device for me lol

Quote from: "dcultrapro"oh shit yeah I plumb forgot about that! Thats a nice little surprise lol! How much was it again? £20 something right? I'll have a look in the fb chat history I'm sure its there

Quote from: "dcultrapro"Got some more stuff coming soon, I am around just never get as much time to post anymore having moved onto a job where I actually have to WORK during my days lol

Quote from: "TrekMD"Why don't you make a Holiday video with any games you have?

Quote from: "The Laird"I assume when you say holiday video you mean Christmas?

Quote from: "The Laird"Thought so, the holiday season is summer here  :23:   

Quote from: "dcultrapro"I must admit I never notice once I've done the editing and watch it back, maybe its just me. The footage from the jag is sometimes problematic and I sometimes have trouble getting it to fit in certain ways, Sony Vegas doesn't always handle it properly, I thought it looked ok like that but maybe I'm wrong
