Got my copy today and it looks great! Thanks @Tomleecee  :14:

No worries, thanks must go to Mike Phelan too! Have you got yours yet? If you're oversees I only sent them yesterday.

Hello, it's Tom - the guy who's name somehow got onto the cover of that book. Appreciate people talking about on here, so thanks for that. It's literally just me ordering these from the printer, packing them up and sending them out at the post office in my lunch break so apologies for any delays in them arriving. If anyone has any issues with the book not turning up just let me know. Cheers all

Don't know if this has been posted before - Pop Rewind takes a hopelessly biased and ill-informed look at some of the Jaguar's unreleased titles. I'd never heard of Number 1, but rather than explore how cool these games could have been, the author seems to want to use the article as a vehicle to dump all over the Jag. As usual.

Then why bother with it lol  :13:

I'm a huge Jag fan, but I enjoy reading the misguided negative opinions as much as the positive. Just thought I'd share is all.

Is this new game the thing we saw on Twitter?!

Apologies if this subject has been touched on before, but I've noticed a few of my Jag games have some issues when I play them. Wolfenstein and Sensible Soccer in particular display some odd graphical glitches, even while the game is actually running in quite a playable way. For example, in Wolf 3D certain decorative sprites will be all garbled (you know, the tables and suits of armour dotted about) or the walls will just have black squares where a texture should be, and in Sensi, sometimes the score text is all messed up of the ball won't be visible. Anyone else come across these occurrences? I've tried cleaning the contacts on the carts but it doesn't really help and the Jag is otherwise fine with other games. I've tried both carts in the base unit and also through the Jag CD with similar results. Just thought it was odd. Anyone else seen this type of thing?

Anyone been visiting JagCorner? They seem to have a few interesting homebrews in development (but most of them are only around 10% complete). Seems like a decent site, wondered what others thought...

Rob Brydon confirming via Twitter that he did indeed star in Battlemorph!

I will definitely need to ask Fred about this!!!!

Please do...I'd be interested to know more. I tweeted him, but as per usual celebrities don't reply to riff-raff

Really enjoyed those videos of World Tour Racing...that's a game I really want to get hold of, along with Iron Soldier 2. Maybe when I win the lottery

Anyone else noticed how many Jag CD games have Rob Brydon in them? Battlemorph and Blue Lightning both do...are there any others?!

Both WTR and IS2 are excellent.

I have never heard about Rob Brydon being in any Jaguar games! The FMC voiceovers in Battlemorph are Scottish and I thought the Blue Lightning ones were by the same woman who voiced Skylar? I happen to know Fred Gill who owned ATD and programmed both BattleMorph and CyberMorph so can ask him about it when we next speak.

Those are the only 2 Jag CD games by ATD, so doubt he would be in any others if he is in those 2.

Woah! Some new information for The Laird! Haha! Yeah, the 'scottish' voice over on battlemorph is Rob Brydon. I recognised his voice instantly as I'm a big fan of his impressions in The Trip (and I checked the credits on the box and in the game), and he's also in the credits for Blue Lightning. Mad eh?!

I see. Thanks for clearing that up Laird!

It's the EU/PAL version. Thanks for finding that info though - I did a bit of Googling myself and all I could find was a few threads on various forums but nothing really explaining why the game is so revered

Fascinating post about the AA forum. Never had any issues with anyone in the Jag community myself and i suppose I leave myself open for any negativity with my Jag fan site...but to be fair I don't really care much about trolls etc. On a different note, I was at Play Blackpool last week and got a nice selection of empty Jaguar game boxes for a pound each! I don't have the white cardboard inserts, but still, for a quid each I couldn't pass them up!

Very nice, Tom!  You should be able to get the white inserts with online sellers.

Thanks man
