Let me know what you guys think. But keep in mind, I freaking love my Jag/JagCD. Although it is a good system in hardware and some software, its marketing and late entrance into the game is what killed it. but yeah. any suggestions for future episodes?

A good level review I thought. Where did you find the clip with the Doom with music though?

Its doom video i captured with the audio removed and the jag doom music overlayed. i wanted to keep the video brief so i didnt go into detail about certain flaws in games. im glad you liked it. :D

Good review. I noticed the music with Doom as well and also the red screen when you were talking about the CD failure rates when it would be just a disc with a question mark..... But now I'm just being overly picky ;)

Yes you are.
I tried to get video of the Disk with the question mark but my JagCD actually works. I guess i could have put a blank cdr in there or something but i didn't think about it at the time. also, I tried not to use other peoples video footage, i did find some cd-rom fail videos on youtube but i hate using footage without permission. so yeah. also, music was added to the doom section because the footage i used of doom was from another video i made a while back with me talking over it. so using original jag doom tunes worked better than silence for the flow of the video. but honestly, if those are the only factual irregularities then i guess were doing pretty damn good.

Now, all i need to do is quit talking about it and actually play the damn thing, im just so afraid of wearing out my cd unit. if i have one of the few working ones left in the wild, the last thing i want to do is play it till it breaks. i dunno.

The Jaguar CD units reputation for unreliability is in my and a lot of people's opinion is exageratted. There are some helpful things to know though if you or anyone you know runs into Jag CD player troubles.
