New production run of replica Pro Controllers is almost ready to go.  Too late to for the pre-order list but still worth emailing if you want one.

goddamnit! I was sure I emailed him back in the day, around page 7 of the original thread? but there's no sign in my sent items...

 

I'm an idiot.

[Nathan Wind]

I only emailed them last week and I've got one reserved, so it's apparently not too late for the pre-order list.

 

They look good quality.

[ScouserInExile]

Actually got my hands on one of these at Power Up in the Science and Industry museum in Manchester. Found the controller quite weird to hold. Couldn't say why, it just felt wrong.

 

[Count Buffalos]

It is wrong.

[Nathan Wind]

YOU'RE QUITE WEIRD TO HOLD!

 

And wrong.

[Benny]

So wrong it's wrong.

[Nathan Wind]

I pos'd it because it's a photo of a Jaguar.  That was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.

Nabbed a boxed breakout 2000 off cex online. Using credit from some tradebait I picked up and cash it cost me roughly £30

Given you a pozzo for bumping the Jaguar thread, but FYI, that game is shit.

Defender of the Crown is coming too.  If they're anything like the Xenox 2 run, the quality of the package will be fantastic - as professional as any that came out at the time of the console.

 

 

 

[SeanR]

but the ST version of DotC was rubbish.

[Spartan]

I don't really get the point of these ST conversions beyond it being some sort of money grab appealing to the rabid jaguar collectors. 

 

I'd love somebody to take the time and make / convert something that would really push the system, like a decent 2D fighter, something the Jag sorely lacks. It's got the guts to throw / scale sprites around when pushed, look at super burnout, it's beautiful!

[Nathan Wind]

Loopz is coming.  Going to be a fully boxed release from Songbird.

 

 

[SeanR]

the JagSD card is coming

Anybody crazy enough to buy this?

[Nathan Wind]

£700.  Mental.  Can't remember what I sold mine for but it was nothing like that.

[AceGrace]

Ooh. I've got one boxed. Still working too

[mwaawm]

I had a Jag and nearly all the cartridge games at the time except for mutant penguins, why does it continue to soar in price? Quite frankly it was pretty shit barring the odd little gem. The potential it had was in its earlier incarnation as the Panther destroying the SNES / MD / 3DO but instead Atari delayed anf overcooked it to have the Jag arrive just in time to be exterminated by the PSX and N64

[Nathan Wind]

You wash your mouth out.

[SeanR]

 

jump to 3 mins...

[SeanR]

I want but not for 120 dollars, even knowing the amount of work that's gone into making them.
