Iron Soldier on Atari Jaguar

http://www.retrogamingcollector.com ----------------

Thanks to Malc and Andy for having me on their podcast. You can hear it at

Gameplay from Iron Soldier playing on the Atari Jaguar retro video games console. Retro Gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's more a case of me speaking my thoughts while playing the games, many for the first time, and most for the first time in a very long time... so it's all a little spontaneous and random.
Predictably, as I never practice before recording, I usually play very badly.

Given that I am playing many of these games for the first time, and everything I say is completely off the cuff, you probably shouldn't take what I say overly seriously. The opinions that I express are my feelings at the time, but it's entirely possible that they would be different if I were to take the time to get to grips with the game.

However, given that these videos are intended to show that "first time experience", I believe they have some validity or merit.

Quite interesting. I'd never thought of the Jag as a 3D machine. The graphics look sort of like a half way house between the 16 bits and the later hardware accellerated machines like the Playstation. I suppose it's probably closest to some of the 386 VGA stuff that was floating around at the time.

[SteveBenway]

@rhydermike In reality, it is a halfway house between the 16 bit machines and the later stuff. Like many systems, if they'd released it a year or so earlier, it probably would have done really well.

Thanks for being on the podcast Steve and the shout out here it was great haveing you on the show.

The sound quality was my fault sounded fine when we was recording

Andy worked really hard to clean the sound up.

editing the podcast is really hard to do ive been trying myself on the latest one we recorded and made a mess of it twice.

Never played Atari Jaguar before but its got some good games shame it failed

@malc1976 It was great being on the podcast malc, I really enjoyed it, and enjoy listening to it.

I actually like the sound, oddly. The hissing kinda makes me think of listening to medium wave radio back in the 80s, and that's just brilliantly retro :D

Knowing nothing about the game or the console, except what I gathered from this vid, this reminds me of Hunter.

[SteveBenway]

@pundewhee The slow pace and flat shaded polygons do give it some of the feel of Hunter, though this seems more simplistic in it's "walk around and destroy everything" style of gameplay.

The manipulator. Looks more like he is manipulating himself.. if you know what I mean.

The robot hand looks like it is petting the houses.. "Nice housey housey..."

[Monacomaverick]

This looks a lot like Virtua Racing mixed with Gungriffon. I have Iron Soldier 3 on the PS1, and its a handfull of a game, even with the twin stick controller. I still quite like it though.

Exploding trees is a completely normal thing in real life.

Lets Travel back in Time back to 1999

Watching this video makes me want to play the game. Definitely one of the best titles on the system, in my opinion anyway.

looked fun to play.

Looks really nice visually, like the shaddowing.
