The Atari Jaguar Thread

[TL]

Here is a demo for a voxel engine by Dr. Typo who did Tube for the Jaguar!

That looks great!  Boy, he's learning by leaps and bounds.  I am looking forward to his next game!

It's a lot smoother than the other one somebody did recently

Check out this awesome blast from the past!

The first look at the Jaguar on UK TV show Bad Influence:

ok that was AWESOME lol, I THINK I remember seeing something like that, though I'm pretty sure what they said about the lines on the chipboard was wrong, both times it looked like way more lines were there than they said... though I am not the least bit technical when it comes to that level of detail and I could be completely wrong... still a cool video though

Cool video!

TrekMD was talking about buying Theme Park and it reminded me I had this:



It's nothing fancy but does the job perfectly, just print it out at 8cm x 6cm and stick it to some card or thin plastic and cut it out. You might have to trim it a bit to fit right but it works very well.

Not including an overlay with Theme Park in the first place is madness as it uses every single button on the control pad.

[TrekMD]

The game doesn't have an overlay?  I'd expect this game to have that!  Thanks for posting this image.  I will be making my own overlay with it!

For those interested here are a couple of videos from eJagfest in Germany last weekend:

A bit miffed at the moment as I bought Zool 2 for the Jaguar on a large auction site and a month later it's still not here and the seller isn't responding to any messages.
On a brighter note I unboxed the Jaguar and had a play of the one game I do have, Bubsy. Now I need a few more games for it.

Just launch a dispute, I would.

Bubsy is a horrid game, in fact I mention how bad it is in my latest Retro Gamer article.

[dougtitchmarsh]

Yeah I've heard that Bubsy isn't a great game, I wanted a couple more to make the Jaguar look good as hopefully I am getting the spare room soon to house and use my consoles etc.
As for Zool 2 I launched a dispute, and today it was escalated to the customer dispute team or whatever they're called. Wait 48 hours now to see what the outcome is.

Good luck with that.  Hopefully you get your money back and can order the game from someone else.

I hear that if the newly released Impulse X is a success Duranik will do a big project for the Jaguar!

For those who don't know Duranik did the original version of Impulse on the Atari Falcon but they are now most famous for Alpine Games on the Lynx and Sturmwind on the Dreamcast.

I would love them to go back and complete Native

Yes, they've indicated that they will keep an eye on sales for Impulse X.  Someone needs to let them know that it sold out quite quickly and that a second batch is on order for the CD version!
