I have two Jaguars from back in the day. We played Doom a lot despite the occassional network error. Probably my favorite games, though, are Iron Soldier and Iron Soldier 2. Iron Soldier 2 is probably the only reason to own the JagCD. I was on the pre-order list that got "lost" for Battlesphere so I missed out on that one, unfortunately.

Checkered Flag wouldn't be a bad game if the control was even marginal. We actually had fun with the two-player mode of Club Drive even though it seems more like a homemade game than a commercial one. I-War is another basic game that's fun with two players. I never really thought much of Cybermorph. I really like Syndicate, much better than the SNES/Genesis versions.

I like all of the usual suspects, Doom, AvP, Tempest 2000, etc. One good game that rarely gets mentioned is Missile Command 3D.

A skunk board is pretty much required for anyone who wants to be serious about their jaguar. That, and a JagPro controller.

I've got a pro controller but why is a skunk board required?

I think that depends on how much you want to like the Saturn. I know several people who are into games and have gone over the library and decided the Saturn wasn't even worth the time. Theyre too picky and not giving what is actually there a chance. It happens a lot I think. I think that may be the case for Jaguar as well.

The collector in me says that the Jag would probably be fun to collect for, but the gamer in me sees a dust collector. With so much quality software out there spanning various consoles, I simply can't see myself spending any meaningul time with a Jag.

It makes you smell better than the guy next to you!

Battlemorph is so improved over cybermorph it's ridiculous. It's a bigger improvement over cybermorph than iron soldier 2 is over iron soldier. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a good game, but it is significantly improved and worth checking out IMO.

It lets you play homebrew on your jaguar.

I bought a jag earlier in the year and i do like the system but im going to sell it off again because theirs only a handful of games worth owning,AVP i would like to own and super burnout but thats about it,stuff like doom,wolfentien,rayment,raiden ect are on different systems theirs no real reason to own a jag other than satisfying your curiosity.

I think I'm quickly starting to realize this. 67 games sounds like plenty, but by the time you weed out the sports and the standard early 3d flying/blow stuff up niche, there's really next to nothing on Jaguar. Still several I want to grab yes, but definitely more collector appeal than gaming appeal here.

I'm sorry for you. Its okay, we've all made video-gaming mistakes here and there. I practically gave away a brand new Japanese Sega Saturn (DERBY STALLION Saturn that is) for a measly $30. :/

Guess I didn't realize "how failed" the Jaguar was. Oh well, I'll make the best of it. If I can find 10 maybe 15 titles that I can somewhat enjoy, I won't consider it a total blunder.

[SEGACOOL]

Jaguar is a good investment. The value can only go up.

I doubt it. That's why it's still affordable now. There has to be some degree of demand for the value to go up, no matter how rare it is, and it's mostly Atari collectors who go after this stuff.

People don't like it because the bad games are really bad and the good games are too expensive I think. There shouldn't be any trouble finding 15 or 20 good to great games on the platform, unless all you play is RPGs.

[SEGACOOL]

Yeah! Give it another 10 years. Look at the prices for the Atari 5200, Odyssey 2, TG-16.

The Jaguar has some fun games so nice pick up!

Rather than list what I have, here's some old pics







The only game I own not pictured is KA Aircars.
