4Ks Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I plan on getting a Jaguar sometime, and I would like to know what the must-have Jaguar games are. So far I know of: DOOM Wolfentstein 3-D Bubsy: Fractured Furry Tails Atari Karts Checkered Flag Zoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeyray Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Alien vs Preditor was the showcase game for the JAG back in the day. Tempset 2000 was no slouch either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Ks Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) LIST UPDATE Super Burnout Edited July 1, 2009 by 4Ks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 If you do a search you'll find this topic discussed many times. Some common (and therefore reasonably priced) games I recommend: Tempest 2000, Iron Soldier, Super Burnout, Val d'Isere Skiing, and Cybermorph. Some games that aren't so common but are good: Missile Command 3D, DOOM, Alien vs Predator, Power Drive Rally A few games that are common and cheap, but not to everyone's taste: Brutal Football (especailly good 2-player), Trevor McFur, and Cannon Fodder.

Atari_Owl Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I thinl this list is quite representative http://www.ataritimes.com/rankings.php?System=Jaguar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciarpo Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Please remove Bubsy and Checkered Flag. Some great games not listed: Total Carnage Zool 2 Protector SE Attack of the Mutant Penguins and the CD has great games too. But this can get expensive. By the way is SS4U still buying everything?

doctorclu Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Please remove Bubsy and Checkered Flag. Huh? What is that all about? There are all kinds of people who like those two titles. Not the most SHINING example of the Jaguar line, but as many know Bubsy is one of my favs. I thinl this list is quite representative http://www.ataritimes.com/rankings.php?System=Jaguar Agreed. My faves... Bubsy, Doom, Raiden, Tempest 2K, Defender classic (on Defender 2K), Surrounded, Battlesphere, Cybermorph is a lot of fun once you give a chance (and get past the first few worlds), Battlemorph is great, Pitfall (very underrated), Zool 2, Rayman, I don't have the Jaguar version but Soccer Kid is a lot of fun, and there are many after that which are fun too.

sciarpo Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I think many people will agree that Bubsy( pain in the ass) and Checkered Flag(need I say more) are not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I think many people will agree that Bubsy( pain in the ass) and Checkered Flag(need I say more) are not good. Maybe, and then again, some really enjoy those games. Let the newbie Jag player find out for himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciarpo Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Ahh, but he asked what are the must have Jag games. That's when I said to remove those games. I kind of enjoy them myself. But they are definitely not must have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LS650 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 When folks recommend games to Jaguar newbies, they should probably take note of the rating or the value. I think it's reasonable to recommend T2K or Super Burnout because those are common and easily obtained. Recommending the rarer games that cost $80+ each is probably not in a newbie's best interests.

+LS650 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Is there more what? Games that are $80+..? Yeah, pretty much any release from Songbird or Telegames is $80+ when you lump in shipping. (Well, Brutal Football is actually reasonable - you can usually find that on eBay for $12-$15.) I get that there may be good reasons why they are so expensive, but I still don't think they should be recommended to a newbie. A copy of BattleSphere Classic went for $610 US (!) plus shipping last week on eBay. Anyone who recommends BS to a newbie needs to give his/her head a shake.

Overlord Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Checkered Flag is not a good game! I felt so ripped off when i bought it so many years ago! Raiden, Aliens Vs Predator, Tempest 2000, and Iron Soldier are the top Jaguar games IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Checkered Flag is not a good game! Agreed - Checkered Flag sucks supremely. If you want a GOOD racing game for the Jaguar you can't go wrong with Super Burnout or Power Drive Rally. I also find Atari Karts and Val d'Isere to be good, though Atari Karts will set you back maybe $60 to $80 these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
