The Atari Jaguar Thread

A sealed pro controller is a mighty treasure though. Not saying it's worth that asking price, but if the guy sells it for that, more power to him.

Quote from: "TrekMD"Looks like I need to clean one of my Jaguar Pro controllers.Â Having issues with going to the right with the touchpad.Â Has anyone opened up one of these?Â I think the screws are under the rubber pads.

Just buy a new one!Â :21:Â I have two.Â I just need to fix the one with the problem.Â

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.

I'm going to guess this person has never touched a Jaguar but dumps on it because he's heard only negative stuff about it.

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 it just me or is atleast half of that blog post completely fabricated? It's about as credentialed as a global warming article these days.

Well on the plus side they are all games that were planned for the Jaguar, on the flip side the article is terribly researched and full of factual errors. Apeshit was actually Toki Goes Apeshit, a sequel to the popular arcade game. Atari mascot game took several forms, ridiculous inclusion on this list. Hosenose and Booger was a conversion of the Mega Drive game of the same name, absolutely nothing to do with Atari. While mostly being positive about Tiny Toons, he wouldn't be if he played the prototype, he can't help making another comment about Atari slagging them off for another game that was nothing to do with them - WMCJ was by Trimark Interactive. He obviously hasn't watched the footage for Dactyl Joust, because it looks amazing. Can't be bothered to comment on the last 2, waste of time and bandwidth.

Just saw an interesting thread over on AA. Looks like Carl from Songbird has been in touch with someone claiming to have the source code for the game Bomberman for the Jaguar! Also looks like he's trying to get it so that he can finish and release it, very coolÂ :113:

That would be awesome! And I'm glad it is Carl who is involved.Â I'm hoping to meet him at CGE!

I will.Â I'll have cards for RVG and I'll be wearing an RVG t-shirt at least one day.Â

Jag_Slave · August 14, 2014, 23:49:45 PM

I was in contact with the guy too. I was offering to release the .bin so people could play it for free as well as release the game on cd/cart at cost for parts. But if Carl can sell it for 80-100 bucks a pop more power to him.

Well, that would have been nice!
