Re: Atari Jagaur Exclusives
I'm pretty sure that Brutal Sports Football is not an exclusive. I think it's also on the Amiga CD32. Same with Supercross 3D, it's on the 32X.

Re: Atari Jagaur Exclusives
Most of the CD32 ports games are better on the Jaguar other then music. They have a faster frame rate, more color, and NO LOADING:
Brutal Sports Football - This game is like an archrivals meets muntant league football. Single player is okay but multi player is fun. An interesting aspect is you need to heal your players after a game and some die while playing.
Pinballl Fantasies and Ruiner Pinball - Both of these are awesome pinball games, some of the best there is.
Zool 2 - You'll go so fast in this game spinning you want know what your doing but you will look awesome.
Now as for the exclusives. Its a mixed bag some are good and some are just plain awful:
Kasumi Ninja - I wouldn't this is the worst mortal kombat clone but its pretty close. The worst thing about this game is you always start with two characters and can only play the other as you beat them and the super moves are hard to pull off
Ultra Vortex - Surprisingly this ones not bad as far a MK clones good. Gameplay mechanics are pretty good and super moves are easy to pull off.
White Men Can't Jump - This game is rated bad but I kinda like it. Its better then Jammit at least. It feels like you are really playing street hoops, you even have to take the ball back to half court.
Power Drive Rally - If you love top view rally racers like Over Top, you'll love this one. Controls are spot on and the sliding is effort less. The prerendered looking cars look great.
Trevor Mcfur - For a shumps it ok, but at least better then 50% off the shumps out there.
World Tour Racing (CD) - This is one of the best virtua racer clones I have played, much better then Checkered Flag.
Val D'isere and Super Burnout - These games remind me of playing in the arcade where you sit on a motorcycle or stand on skis. Need I say more.
Missile Command 3D - If you love the original you will love this. It has a 3d mode and a classic mode and while not the best looking it play great.
Iron Solider 2 (CD) - I you like the first one this blow that one out of the water. Everything is better visuals, gameplays, weapons but it also has the same flaws controls that are hard to get use to but effortless once you get it, and slow.
Now as of what ports are good and which aren't:
Pit Fall - This and the PC version are the best looking ports there are of this classic. The only thing bad is the Sega CD version while less graphic appeal has better music and extra levels.
Rayman - I prefer this version over the PS but not the Sat version.
Dragon - This looks better then the other but the controls are bad and wasn't that good of a game to begin with.
Wolfenstein 3D - This game looks better then the PC version. The only thing weird is there are no backs to enemyus they always face towards you.
Raiden - I like this version. It looks and play different then the other ports of this game. I hate that there is no auto fire though.
I am tired of writing now. I might tell you more later, but I do have Kasumi Ninja for sale

Motocross Championship is not Supercross 3D but they do both suck.lisalover1 wrote:I'm pretty sure that Brutal Sports Football is not an exclusive. I think it's also on the Amiga CD32. Same with Supercross 3D, it's on the 32X.

Re: Atari Jagaur Exclusives
I'll consider these, but the rest just don't really appeal to me for one reason or another. I have the ports of Raiden, Doom, Pitfall, and Theme Park (all CIB) and would gladly trade them for some of these (and AvP) to give the system a better shot. I just can't bring myself to play what feel like inferior ports with a clunky controller...especially when I have the better version of these games.pepharytheworm wrote: Power Drive Rally

Yeah I frequent the site often (he was on podcast #1This guy does pretty spot on reviews for Jaguar games http://www.videogamecritic.net/
). I've read his reviews for the Jag games, but it's good to get a second (or 3rd, 4th...) opinion.
