"JAGUAR RULES!"

Count me in Buddies!!!!

Will be great to show this off at Jagfest UK

[CD-i]

Amazing! Good days for every Jag owner! Count me in for one!

[Tyrant]

Wow! The surprises just keep on coming!

Can you tell us how much of the game is complete?
This is the first version, before they had to scrap it and start from scratch, right?

Very exciting news.

[ls650]

How playable is Tiny Tunes?

[Willard]

Information on some of the content can be found here:

Tiny Toons Final
3 Other Betas Included

The final build is complete enough to show you how the entire game would have played (kind of like the Phase Zero Demo) but it is not a complete game. Yup, this is as far as they got before they restarted the game from scratch.

Early builds use the CG background from the back of the box and contain some other differences.

This is an amazing release and I will definitely be buying it-for sure!!

I can't thank Belboz, Tursi, Glenn, Bruce, Buddies & Willard enough!! Some really great work went into this release. It's Awesome looking & So professional looking also. Sweet!!!

Thanks a grip guys!

Since the press release says a limited initial run of 100 copies, does that mean more might be made available when demand exceeds supply?

So... more complete than Bubsy, huh?

I hope so, if not many people will buy more then one and make a pretty penny on ebay with it...

(Spits out coffee). A final version of Tiny Toons? What? WHAT?!

[Jagman]

I would love to know more about Tiny Toons final build. Who has played it and can explain the game a little more?

[CD-i]

NO! No final game, only the final BUILD! the last version programmed. Refering to the tiny toons thread it's milestone 3, with 5 Levels, but only the first level is completed, the other 4 are missing enemys etc.

[Willard]

CONCERNING REQUESTS FOR A TIME ON THIS RELEASE, IT WILL BE 12:00 AM EASTERN TIME

Here are some samples of the HTML manual that better describes the state of completion. Taken from the other thread, here are some notes on the rest of the game:

There appear to be 5 levels. They can be summed up like this:
LVL1 (Dune): Complete
LVL2 (Cave): Complete, Only 1 Enemy
LVL3 (Dune2): Remake of LVL1, new volcanic terrain color matches the level theme
LVL4 (Treetops): Empty - just some enemies walking around
LVL5 (Mountainside): Empty - Just some enemies walking around

Ah! Either way, I want one! Thanks for clearing it up for me.

Fascinating!

(Bubsy has a complete 15 levels BTW complete with enemies.)

So part of the TT030 dump included in this has the source for Tiny Toones or were there only rom builds found on the TT030?

The entire TT030 contents including the source code for Tiny Toons will be included on the cd, the cartridge is of the final build of the game

[Guitarman]

I will be at CGE and will most assuredly be picking this up!!

[bmx]

I need one!
