I can't get past the first stage, which is really annoying because I find the Virtual mode to be fairly unplayable due to the inability to gauge distance. I have an M model Jag (so obviously not just a K model issue), and I've seen a few people have had the same problem, but there doesn't seem to be any real conclusion. Is it the game? Is it the Jag? Is there anything I can do to bypass it?

Honestly annoying. May just have to go ahead and buy the PS1 enhanced version.

I've never had any trouble with it.

I have not experienced this myself either.

If i remember right, this game will actually not work, with certain model Jaguars. Can anyone confirm this? Can you give us the serial number off the bottom of your Jaguar?

Thanks, Chris

Serial is M255007421

I've tried a few more times and it still doesn't work.

At least my other Jag games work just fine.

Mine did this when I first got it. For the last High Score Club I popped it in not expecting it to work but I think I got to the third of forth level and it didn't freeze at all. This was using the same Jaguar.

Interesting, it looks like others have had issues with it in the past.

Yeah, I searched the forums but didn't want to gravedig one of those topics. I don't know. It's disappointing as that's the mode I wanted to play most. Oh well.

Is it possible that the program is looking for the analog controller input, but on later Jaguar's this was removed.

Many moons ago I had an online chat/interview with the developer of the game. The producer at Atari was almost ready to scrap the virtual mode in favour of this (!!!). From what I remember it was very hastily put together and the amount of testing done was probably minimal. From my hazy recollection it's often K models that have issues, but there's something nagging in my head about others with M models who've also had problems, but I can't be 100% sure. That's the problem about returning to Jag stuff after 10 odd years

FWIW, it works fine on both my Jags, but I think they're both Ms.
