Lurking Steve Report post Posted May 23, 2007 Electronics Boutique came across a huge stock of them a few years back and sold them in store for ten quid each. I bought three and dumped them on Ebay a year later for £50 a pop. They're worth even more now. Amazing scenes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NAVVARR Report post Posted May 24, 2007 kind of have to agree- was never a great fan of Tempest.Also bought Defender2000 - and although the original remake is pretty playable- the actually update defender2000 -is duff.The jaguar itself never really had many great games- did it? prove me wrong?!

Sabreman Report post Posted May 24, 2007 No, you're right. It didn't.Even T2K couldn't save it. Also, hear the desperate reverie of Jaguar fans telling you that Aliens Vs Predator is "excellent" on it, then witness the thing running. Oh dear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spaceyjase Report post Posted June 3, 2007 I'm sure I've put mine on here several times and nobody has ever bought it, lol. AvP was OK at the time, terrible looking back on it now.

SeanR Report post Posted June 4, 2007 They bought Telegames stock of Jag and Lynx hardware.so, that story about them buying some french company and "discovering" a warehouse full of jags, lynxes and gamegears (majesco one's not compatible with the TV tuner) was bullshit?I fucking knew it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
213 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 I fucking knew it!That was the story at the time, basically they paid about a pound a unit so the story went - considering it came from a store manager I would consider it fairly reliable info but if someone was to come forward and say they were on the buying team and inform us how it all happened then I'd obviously bow to that knowledge.Theres news in MCV about a company buying out some major stock of older games over the last few years so that should be interesting, I'd assume they be either talking to Telegames and buying some of their stuff or the shop in Marlow bucks that used to be a major treasure trove for older games in the 90's and early part of the decade.

Ketchup Report post Posted June 6, 2007 so, that story about them buying some french company and "discovering" a warehouse full of jags, lynxes and gamegears (majesco one's not compatible with the TV tuner) was bullshit?I fucking knew it!When i worked in GAME it was public knowlege they all came from Telegames, they even had their logo on the shelving where all this stuff was placed and there was even talk of it becoming a proper retro section, i guess a bit like Gamestation. Don't know why they didn't go through with it because apart from a few jag games (which were way over stocked compared to the systems) everything sold very quickly.

mwaawm Report post Posted June 6, 2007 Thats precisely it, I remember ringing them up and asking for prices on some lynx carts and being amazed at the prices they were trying to charge, I pointed out it was a dead system and surely if they wanted to sell more games they should be priced more reasonably. He said the fact it was retro and rare justified their prices, clearly this was a company who were fans of items sitting gathering dust on warehouse shelves as opposed to actually making them any money by being bought by consumers. Are these idiots even still in business in any shape or form any more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spaceyjase Report post Posted June 8, 2007 Raiden was amazing on the Jag. I used to spend quite a bit of time on Iron Soldier & Theme Park too.Ah yeah Theme Park was another fave on the Jag. Still got Raiden (and IS, Tempest 2k), also pretty damn fine. I did have a CD unit for ages, used to play the Highlander game for hours at a time 'cos I couldn't save the damn thing as the local importer couldn't get his hands on a memory cart Myst too, that was something else at the time. I think I traded it in for a SNES (mine broke see) and a handful of games to some Jaguar nut. Still love Tempest 2k though, perhaps the reason I've had the machine for so long. What was it, "Television is the retina of the mind's eye"? Duh duh duh duh... I've got the soundtrack but it's not the same unless you're playing it. And it's just not quite right on the CD systems as the music looped with a slight pause, annoying./me wonders off to the loft... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
