DOOM for Jaguar Problem?

Ok so I bought DOOM for jaguar off eBay brand new, and after about half a second of play the game freezes. Even the games demo will freeze. I thought It was the games fault and so I got an exchange. But it has the same problem. My other games work great, does anybody know what could be wrong? I cleaned the games and the console. Thanks.

Try cleaning the cartridge contacts and the cartridge connector on the Jag, see if the helps out, if not do you have an other Jag you can try the game on?

Must be something with your Jaguar if 2 games did the same thing. Is your Jag beat up or well used?

Or, since you got the 2 brand new copies from the same place, I wonder if they have a bad batch of Dooms? Corrupted carts somehow.

Hmmm, Okay try resetting the carts memory.
