I enjoy your meticulous reviews; I can tell you do a lot of research and yea I am one of those people that actually enjoyed Off World Interceptor Extreme. You definitely have your own style and I will check the other reviews

[srgamers]

Glad you liked the reviews and sorry you like Off World, LOL,

@srgamers I love your review man! Your a regular person doing reviews for regular people, I just dig that! If i have one complaint with the show is that i think your to nice to some of these shitty games but ppl here love u so i guess you don't need any advice :D

[Supertomiman]

these reviews rock, the guy is well informed but still funny and interesting

@snake2006 Oh, and also, I am playing Wolfenstein 3D right now on my Jag, and it most definitely has the music. Doom was the only game that I know of on Jag that had the music purposely taken out.

@snake2006 I disagree with you on AVP, DOOM, and Tempest, as I love those games, but I agree with everything else you said. The "Tom and Jerry" chipset was a good idea on paper, but either IBM botched it in manufacturing, or they just didn't thoroughly test the chipset. IIRC There was some sort of error in the memory controller for "Tom and Jerry" that required programmers to create their own software version of the controller (which was a lot of work), if they wished to utilize the system RAM.

@Joeyboots80

Yes it was better than the SNES and 32X ports except for MUSIC. Jag didn't have music in the game, neither did Wolf.

DOOM without the music just isn't DOOM. Music plays a huge part of the game.

AVP sucked, Tempest is medicore at best.

I never said they pushed it to it's full potential, but I doubt they could have given how the chips were incomplete and had serious bugs in it,crippling the system from the get go.

@snake2006 Doom on the Jag was way better than the Snes and 32x versions. Until the PSX port you couldn't get a better port of Doom. Also, AVP and Tempest 2000 were awesome. The biggest issues the Jag had were not really it's games, but that its controller was awkward, it was difficult to program for (leading to sub-par graphics in many Jag games), and it had a lack of big name third party support. I doubt very seriously that the Jag was pushed anywhere near it's potential in it's life cycle.

yeah baby this is the jag-wire!

@DmitriyK07

Because the games sucked.

I owned a Jaguar at one time before it got stolen along with most of my other systems when my old Apt got broke into (by the assholes in apt 53, I was 55).

I hated the machine so much. DOOM fucking sucked on it,Pretty much every game sucked.

Jagwire!

@PHILRYABKIN

Your statement tells me that you enjoyed playing the Atari Jaguar...why belittle it?!

I haven't played the actual console, but I have played an emulator running Jag games. I can't speak for other people, but I pretty much enjoyed all the games that came out for the Atari Jaguar. Why all the hate people, grow up. :)
