No there aren't. The "best" game is probably AVP , and its terrible.

Malenko is correct. Jaguar is the worst system I've ever owned.

Have you seen the ridiculous price they are asking on ebay. Cheapest one is 69 for a broken one..
There was absolutely nothing worth playing.

Which is weird given that are quick to defend the N64 which has some of the ugliest visuals for early 3D work. That, and as an arcader I would expect visuals would be secondary to gameplay. Do you just not like monochrome? Because I can mention the quality of sprite-work in some of these titles as many of them are of a higher degree of style and aesthetic than a majority of NES games.

You aren't getting it. It's all three shades of pea green so I can't see the damn thing. I even gave you an example of how the graphics effect the core gameplay.... you get turned around in Metroid ii. I didn't even like the Gameboy that much when I was a kid and had 20/20 vision for the same reasons.... excessive ghosting on the screen and not a whole lot of contrast. You shouldn't waste a bunch of money to play Gameboy games on the original hardware because the original hardware sucks. Visuals matter when they make gameplay difficult. Emulate it so you can play on a nice crisp screen and actually see what is going on. I recommend that for any portable btw.... like I mentioned, we are just now getting screens on handhelds that are bright enough and large enough to make gaming viable.
Personally I've been looking at the Gameboy player route, but it isn't really worth sinking a bunch of money into. I'm probably just going to stick to emulation and play the handful of Gameboy games worth playing.
The N64 had the best visuals of that era due to better polygon designs and better hardware. If you don't believe me fire up a blocky psx game with no anti-aliasing and those dithered textures and see how long you can stand it. Some people prefer it because there are larger textures, but I sure don't. It doesn't matter anyway. There's a reason n64 titles are still regularly in lists of greatest games of all time and the psx, if you are lucky might get a nod to ff7 and metal gear solid, and it isn't the visuals.
I guess you guys aren't a fan of Tempest 2000 then. Not that it's worth it to buy a Jaguar for it... that was kind of my point.
The hobby is hitting maximum saturation and unfortunately anything that isn't either a portable or the most common of systems is getting sky high. I keep hoping that it will go down, but for whatever reason the stuff stays up. I don't see how considering how seldom I see any people with retro console/game collections.

Oh I get it, some people aren't as gaming agnostic as others, and that's fine. Can't expect everyone to get game design and appreciate solid gameplay especially when hardware is a limitation. Like you said, we can agree to disagree. I'm going to leave it at that since you and I don't really have the same gaming tastes.
Moving on...I've been playing with 1.10 for EverdriveGBA, and I got to say, booting up NES games on this thing has been made so much easier! For some reason I've been stuck on playing the NES port of Prince of Persia. Pretty decent low-budget port of the PC version, and is pretty close to the original minus the graphic detail and screen scrolling limitations.

^ this 100%. AvP wasn't that great though, Tempest 2000 was a better game IMO but the Playstation version was better (named Tempest X3). Better Sound, better Graphics and the gameplay was more tuned, especially with the enemies. I remember Defender 2000 also being a decent update. But really, there aren't any "gems" on that system at all and really not worth owning for a couple mediocre remakes.
ChadTower:
Can't seem to turn one up via Google but maybe I'm just missing it. Anyone know of a drive removal mod for the Sega CD? I finally got the Sega CD I mentioned earlier in the thread working. Can't seem to get it to read CDRs, though, so the next step would be an SD type mod if it exists.
