Whenever I hear people call games like Resident Evil 6 or Final Fantasy XIII "the worst game ever" I promptly clear my throat and direct them toward the Jaguar and 3DO libraries.

Those people are fools. FF 13 is the greatest running-down-hallways simulator of all time.

Hey, it gets good after the first 25 hours of cutscenes. Really!

(No seriously I get why people don't like it even though I do.)

But it still doesn't hold a candle to Rule of Rose in terms of dog following sim.

I can't believe they did such a remarkable job on the predator's infrared vision (43 minutes in)

Looks like someone cut those marine sprites out on MS paint.


Killer Joe - 2013-04-22

Not well, either.

I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't a Wolfenstein 3D mod.


memedumpster - 2013-04-22

This exactly.

Wow, Colonial Marines really IS pretty bad, I....oh, wait..


SolRo - 2013-04-22

Now we know where they got their NPC movement code from.

I got sick of that swishing noise real fast.

I had a Jaguar collection come into my possession once, and it didn't linger very long. Of the couple dozen games that came with the system I had most of the notable titles and the only one I played extensively was the Doom port. AvP was a clumsy, dull thing.


Old_Zircon - 2013-04-23

Widely considered to be one of the masterpieces of the platform and voted one of the scariest games of all time by some major gaming site. I played it a bit back in the day and it's just awful, worse than the video makes it appear.


Potrod - 2013-04-23

Yeah, the reputation of this game in my mind was such that when I saw it in the hopper I thought, "Oh, isn't that the one Jaguar game that's actually decent?" Watching the video dispelled that myth pretty quickly.

Tempest 2000 was the only reason to own a Jaguar. That said, it was a pretty compelling reason.


Mother Lumper - 2013-04-23

Rayman, Tempest, Raiden, etc were all ported to the PS1 and benefit from red book audio. I wanted to justify keeping the Jaguar, but there's not a single reason to own one.


The Mothership - 2013-04-23

I know, let's start our game in a maze level.

Although, nice touch with the ending. stomach discomfort indeed.


The Mothership - 2020-09-11

Also, is this the Doom engine?


Disaster - 2013-04-23

chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp


Spaceman Africa - 2013-04-23

I distinctly remember being very scared playing this game. But I can now see it was probably made scarier by how ass the Jaguar was.

This was THE title in the Jaguar library and was worth a play through when it released. It came out the same month as DOOM II and if you were PC-less, you were eating up any FPS game that would compensate for your poor gaming hardware decisions. This was one of the better not-DOOMII-and-I-bought-an-oddball-console games.


sosage - 2013-04-23

...and DOOM for the Jaguar


Old_Zircon - 2013-04-23

Back in the day there was a rumor that this game had been released unfinished because it was so clunky nobody (at least nobody I knew and nobody any of them knew or had ever spoken to about it) could find a way to the last level. The rumor was they just put it out there without the last level being accessible at all, but I guess we were all wrong.

My parents' 1mb 386 couldn't handle Doom but after playing this I was content to just use the drummer's dad's 486 after band practice rather than convincing my parents to blow money on this thing as a gift (or worse yet save up my own).

What's the deal with Jaguar games not having any background music?


Old_Zircon - 2015-04-30

The predator kind of looks like someone from the Gwar Slave Pit.
