Gorf Classic - Atari Jaguar

Gorf Classic was brought to us in a (unfortunately) limited release, because of some people wanting to cause trouble.
From what the employees at 3D Stooges claim, this is pretty much a perfect translation of the original arcade game.
This game is highly sought after and, though not intended to be a graphically impressive Jaguar showing, is still a remarkable achievement.

Are you using an emulator here? Project Tempest v0.95? If you are, I am having trouble getting Gorf & Asteroids 2000 to work. When I load the ROMS, I get a little pop-up menu with input fields for Download Address & Start Address. Do you know anything about that?

@gjc82071 Nope, this is the actual disc playing in a Jaguar CD :)

Vi, you are getting beat up in space warp because you stay too far from the center.

Stay close as the quark missiles they fire

move slower the closer you are to them.

Hmm, I shall keep that in mind next time I pop that bad boy in.

I'd definitely like to get better at it.

Looks like fun. Looks like I'll be sourcing another expensive Jag game then. This is close to the price of BS. Shame as I'm sure it doesn't take much to make more copies. Just a case of finding the time to source supplies, printing the media and burning the discs. The sales would be high if they did more.

That's not really the issue.

The developer (Steve) found out there were still some rights to a few levels he hadn't secured and was forced to discontinue production.

He tried to get the rights, but was never answered back, so he can't produce any more.

@ninelivecat So you mentioned that Namco got there first for Galaxian? Despite that Wizard of wor (Which I never saw at the arcades) became popular, then that's why Midway shouldn't put Gorf on the Arcade classic vol 2 compilation.

If the video is accurate, I don't know if "perfect translation" is the right term. Why? This version looks to not have the annoying slowdown that the arcade version has! Too bad about the rights since I had really hoped to get this Jaguar port when rumblings about it started years ago.
