  1. There is now a  Jaguar Interactive II.

    2. Hasbro makers of the new version of Frogger,  have purchased Atari for $5 million.
    On February 23, 1998, JTS Corporation (the "Company") sold substantially all of the
        assets of the Company's Atari Division, consisting primarily of Atari home computer
        games and the intellectual property rights and license agreements associated with such
        games (the"Atari Assets"), to HIACXI, Corp. ("HIAC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
        of Hasbro Interactive, Inc., for $5,000,000 in cash. The purchase price was determined
        based upon arm's-length negotiations between the Company and HIAC. The Atari
        Assets were acquired by the Company in July 1996 when the Company merged with
        Atari Corporation. There is no material relationship between HIAC and the Company,
        any of its affiliates, any director or officer of the Company, or any associate of any such
        director or officer.

  1. Since I last made a post we lost a good friend to the Jaguar comunity, Thomas Rodman died on Thanksgiving.
  2. I also believe since my last post, Telgames released IS2 cartridge, like 20 new Jag pages went up, and the doom source hase been released.
  3. Worms 1 still hasent been released for the Jaguar, yet worms 2for the PC has been out for about 4 months now.
  4. Since the code has been released, a few people are aparently looking to get sewed buy porting and selling Doom, Doom2, and Final Doom for the Jaguar. I suggest they read the Licensing Agreement.
  5. Non-Jaguar related news: My game is running low on funds again, considering its being made on a budget of about $100 right now. I dont want to have to put it on hold again, I tend to forget were I left off and that causes me to have to back track. I also haven't updated my page in along time because of the game and other reasons.

  1. The people working on Jag Fest'98 are considering having the convention in Las Vegas.
  2. My whole site was update on the eleventh. I fixed most of the messed up looking wood box that holds the links to the rest of the site, on the front page.
  3. Jagu-Dome and Jagu-Sounds were relocated to http://jaguar.holyoak.com/. The site sports a new set graphics and a new design. The Battle Sphere countdown page was also relocated. You can find that at http://www.best.com/~varelse/
  4. Over on Next Generation on-line they had a poll on "the scariest video games evermade". Alien Vs. Predator took 3rd place.
  5. Dark Knight Games is selling quality plastic overlays for jaguar games that never had overlays but should have.

  1. I just got the November issue of Next Gen magazine, and it had a article about Jeff Minter(programmer of Tempest) and Richard Miller(the guy who made the Jaguars impressive chipset)about there new N64 killer. For those of you who haven't heard some thing about this yet, its called Project X. Keep going to Minter's site and he might put something up about it.
  2. For those interested in Jag programming, Telegames has a lot of development kits and there selling them, but at too high a price. They made me an 1 time offer to come up with a price they could agree with, but as you could probly guess I didnt have enough money for the price they wanted. So there goes my plans for Jag game development, I'll just stick with making PC games.
 
10/20/97 
 
  1. Someone anounced there was going to be a JagFest'98. This comes after this years mildly successful JagFest'97. I hear JagFest'97 had a attendance of about 40, that included 4-Play. I would had been there but I was in Hawaii.
  2. Tetrisphere was originally going to be released for the Jag as "Phear" was regretfully released on to N64.
 
10/1/97 
 
  1. Telegames releases Zero 5 but pushes the most anticipated Worms release date Back, now its December. On the other hand Worms 2 is out. Worms was pushed back because of the release of Iron Soldier II Cartridge.

  1. Sorry I havent been updating for the last couple of weeks but I have been busy working on my new site, "Buzzard Beak Entertainment". There is no link to that site cause its in testing a stage right now, it should be around soon. It will feature Jaguar movies, News such as this one, and other info on the Jaguar and Buzzard Beak Entertainment.
  2. It seems that Dark Knight Games is sounding like a fraud more and more in there game department, but there controllers do seem to be real for now.
  3. Telegames realeases Zero 5 late this month and Worms is still scheduled to be realeased next month.
