My all time favourite Jaguar Games:
1. Power Rally.
2. Rayman
3. Iron Soldier (very very awesome)
4. Iron Soldier II
5. Pitfall.
6. AvP
7. Raiden
8. That Ocean Pinball one.
In many ways Jag ownership complements 3DO ownership. Why? Well the the 3DO didn't have: A top down racer, a big stompy robot game or a SHUMP. The Jag had no meaningful car game (to meet NFS), no JRPG, and between Rayman, Pitfall & Gex you have all the none (Sega/nintendo) 2D platformers you will ever need.

Unfortunately for the Jag, some of it's best games are available in surperior form on 3DO. Flashback w/cd cinemas & improved audio for example. Wolfenstein 3d is another case (not sure how Soccer Kid compares?) Still all great additions to the Jag library ... Flashback may actualky be one of my favorite games ever!
A good comparison I always used to put the Jag up against the 3DO are the FPS games, especially AvP vs. Killing Time
Both AvP and KT generally run at the same frame rate, with the same style of wide open spaces and extremely tight corridors. Granted KT uses digitized sprites from actors, but both games have the same pixelation when you get right up close to a sprite / wall / door / ect
Of course the 3DO blows the Jaguar away in the audio department and in fmv cinemas
Both games are very similar in alot of ways, and I feel as if either game could be ported to the other console and run basically the same as on their original platforms

Checkered Flag has a charm, I like looking at it, playing it isn't much fun
Attack of the Mutant Penguins is worth a punt and Worms on the Jaguar?
Zero 5 is worth getting too. It is, harder than nails, but quite elegant at the same time.
As far as KillingTime vs AvP goes, I always felt AvP was the better game but Killing Time was more technical.

what? What? WHAT?! Ok I have AVP, complete in box with manual and all three overlays. Plus I LOOOOOVE Alien, I have 22 DVDs of just Alien stuff (lost of fan-edits and preservation stuff) an Alien cookie jar... ect. ect. BUT in no way does the Jaguar AVP game beat Killing Time!

Should I move this over to the Jag forums? Kind of a nice little archive of the first post for something that has grown to be a part of us. Plus I'll be getting a photo of the cookie jar and my complete AVP game next to each other. (As soon as I can find my carts. grrrrr)
