I'm pretty sure I had the entire Jaguar library at some point... and I didn't spend that much on it. :dizzy:

LOL! Yeah, I was wondering if there were actually enough good games on the Jaguar to warrant buying something like that. From what I've read, this SD cart can actually run CD games as well as the cartridge-based ones. Maybe that makes it more valuable? I know those CD units are going for ridiculous prices on eBay right now...

I don't remember the Jaguar having any games worth playing. Never owned one, but I was interested in it back in the day.

If I recall correctly, the problem with that system was they put a Motorola 68000 in it as a co-processor to enable easy ports from Genesis versions of games. So you basically just got lazy ports of the worst versions of shovelware. And I guess a few Amiga games.
It also had some screwy cartridge slot and the slightest tug on the controller would lock up your game. Alien vs Predator was a crummy reskin of Wolfenstein and I swear people only praised it because nobody could call ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- on it being a piece of crap. I had a copy of it that would go absolutely nuts with loud screeching ~20 minutes into it and to this day I have no idea if that's part of the game or if I owned a bad copy, because I quit playing precisely 2 minutes after that started up.
Anyway, I bought one as a novelty summer 2000. Games ran me like $5 shipped for sealed copies. It lasted about a month or two before I dumped it all on Ebay. Tempest 2000 was alright but it's been redone a million times and better since. Google says there were more releases than I remember but I had a shitload of them.
:cheers:

Jaguar is one console I have never had any interest in what so ever.
And those controllers.... WTAF!?
