    Used to be a guy I dealt with indirectly in edenderry too, (used to do mostly jukeboxes/poker machines) he had a lot of arcade stuff also but his website is gone down & his phone switched off, guess his gone out of business :(

    Well keep digging, if we could get a group of us to maybe do a sizeable purchase we could all walk away with a nice deal.

    The Jag version sinks to new levels of drudgery, I'd actually prefer to listen to Retro discuss the merits of CDi rather than play it again :)

    Ouch! What did the poor Jaguar ever do to you to deserve such a comparison? :pac:

    Admittedly I've never played the Jag version, only the PS1 one. Though he did say he's open to offers, I reckon you'd get it for €60 which would be a cheap enough Jag :)

    I played the 3DO version first, and very good it was too.
    I can only imagine the horrors heaped upon us by the Jag version.
    I know Alphaeagle was trying to convince me of the Jags merits but, outside of Tempest 2000, they are hard to come by,
    Just don't ever expect me to play AvP on it again, what a load of muck!

    Raiden on the Jag is actually pretty decent, the controller does kill your hands after a while but the game play is solid enough.

    It's a damn shame someone doesn't put the Jag on a FGPA and fix the crippling CPU bugs just to see what it could have been like.

    All I have ever side is that I like the Jaguar...and I wear that badge with honour for I stand up for the little console and do not run with the crowd.

    I also read/heared that the first load of jag games where infact panther games ported over to the jag and that is why they look so bad, when the likes of battlemorph not cybermorph where more like the games the jag could handle......
    Now about AVP it is still a good game ( yes it has its faults ), but I still enjoy it.

    I have to side with alphaeagle here, although I've a shocking lack of Jag carts at the mo...I actually like it. There's certainly far worse 'consoles' out there....yeah, I'm looking at you Retr0

    A quote from Ultimateconsoledatabase:

    "As for games, rumors are Panther-pong, Cybermorph, Raiden, and Cresent Galaxy were ported to the Jag from the Panther, although chances are there were more than a few other Panther projects that ended up as Jaguar games.
    The sad and confusing (and ugly) Jaguar controllers were originally desgined for this system."

    That's the one I have. It's a bare bones model made to compete with the PS1 and Saturn (we know how that went). Only has component out, no RGB. It's not a bad price at all. Hotel Mario and Lemmings are two of the better games for it and it comes with a Gamepad which are very hard to find and can be expensive.

    Aye for sure, they're usually in that neighbourhood though. I guess it only applies to the Casey120's and Steve_SI's of this world. :p

    Although Casey already has one iirc.

    I'd like one but holding off on getting more cabs until I have the shop up and running in town and then I'll be buying lots of candies and nice things with the excuse that its "for the business" :)

    I really want that Cute. Really REALLY want that Cute. It's the first one I've seen for sale ever since I've had the room for one.

    But jeez, parting with almost 2k after postage? Dont think I can bring myself to do it. It's one of those things where every time I'd look at it, I'd wince a little and think 'argh! 2K!' :pac:

    It's only going to increase in value. If you ever need the funds you could just sell it to me.
    So buy it now, then in a year I'll buy it from you, so deal and stuff, yeah?
