: Videogaming sales update! BUSTING into the domain of the TOP FIVE
: selling games for August-September at Babbages is...Wolfenstein 3D
: for the Atari Jaguar. It was easy to pick JagWolf as a bestseller
: because the EGM Tour and Seattle Expo had crowds of kids who said
: it's a blast. (Yah, we know people with Pentiums might say it's
: passe' but we love it.) Anyway Sega and Nintendo sales are
: slowing and faltering as gamers save their money for next generation
: software and hardware.
: Wolf 3D is only an tiny entree for id's deep dish dessert named
: JagDOOM that's going to sell at least a 1000 times more. Just remember:
: you will Jag DOOM in DECEMBER.
: According to the latest id updates: Jag DOOM is running "VERY FAST"...
: and will have new levels. So the Jag is not only DOOMED against the
: Sega 32X version...it's JagDOOMED in 65000 colors. But what makes
: JagDOOM great is the multiplayer experience thru the JagLAN or modem.
: It's makes a *helluva* difference just knowing those ugly bitmaps
: of the enemies hunkering up to you are controlled by your nerdy
: neighbors with 150+ IQs who would love to kick your butt after enduring
: a summer's worth of Tempest 2000 blaring from your 1000 watt stereo
: system. Heck, even playing with grandma over the holidays with the
: JagDOOM modem connection is better than anything Sega or Nintendo has
: to offer.
: As you can tell, the Sega 32X version is a lame oneplayer boreDOOM. So
: only a certified boZon is going to pay Sega $70 for the 32X-lax version
: in addition to forking over $150 for the 32X-lax itself.
: [SEGA update: AP news says AT&T's Edge-16 modem for 32X and 3D0 machines
: is CANCELLED, but 32X owners can still get a multiplayer party going by
: buying two Sega inflatable dolls named Wooly and Floozy.]
: (Funny how "Sega Nin 'Tendo" is Italian for "spanking your Konkey Dong"
: in English! Funny too how AT&T keeps promising "You Will" while with the
: Jaguar you can say "You D-i-D" (DOOM-in-December). )
: Now take the other games into account....
: Jaguar texture-mapped custom "Virtual Warriors" versus 32X/Saturn crippled
: version flatshaded Sega Virtua Fighters versus Nintendo CD-ROM promise.
: NO contest here: *millions* and *millons* of gamers are going to pick up
: the Jag for VWarriors alone.
: Jag multiplayer 3D Iron Soldier versus 32X Metalhead versus Nintendo
: CD-ROM promise. NO contest here: the Jag has cool high tech texture
: mapped Russian 'Hind' choppers and tanks running SMOOTH AS SILK which
: creates a virtual realism that keeps you on edge. OTOH, the 32X
: Metalhead is a slow cumbersome oneplayer Sunday afternoon ride into
: downtown against the computer opponent with 1/10th the IQ of the
: Energizer Bunny. Jag players can look forward to playing with their
: buddys 'round the world with the upcoming voicemodem. 32X players:
: you get to play with Wooly and Floozy (and Konkey Dong).
: The three assassins: also known as ULTRA VORTEX, KASUMI NINJA and (in
: early 1995) MORTAL KOMBAT II. Supposedly, Sega and Nintendo executives
: got hold of an ILLICIT video of *new and updated* versions of Jaguar's
: three assassins and had uncontrollable bladders for 48 hours hence. They
: will be prepared for the Winter '95 CES though, by wearing Pamper's Diaper
: Deluxe in case they see PRIMAL RAGE being demoed on the Jaguar.
: Jag Star Battalion versus 32X Super Space Harrier versus Nintendo CD-ROM
: promise. Star Battle for Jag is a "10D" cosmic tour de force. How can
: you get more than 3D you ask? Simple, just connect up player1 with
: player2 with player3 with player4 with player5 with player6 with player7
: with player8 with player9 with player10 and so on. The future of gaming
: expands the HUMAN DIMENSION and only the Jaguar lets you increase it so
: easily.
: [Sega UPDATE: Super Space Harrier for the 32X has been CANCELLED.
: Supposedly the Sega executives fainted over like dominoes and cancelled
: the project when the 32X designers told them the only way to network
: Super Space Harrier would be to connect the ends of tin cups with twine.]
: Jag Club Drive and Checkered Flag versus 32X Virtua Racing Deluxe versus
: Nintendo CD-ROM promise. It's a close race between the Jaguar and Sega
: Formula-1 games, but what breaks the tie is Club Drive for the Jag.
: Nobody will be able to resist the thrill of hammering and I mean
: *HAMMERING* up and down the streets of San Francisco. Club Drive
: for the Jag lets you do what Karl Malden and Dirty Harry were doing
: in their 'Frisco movies. Hammering down the Golden Gate, look to your
: right and see Point Bonita with the pretty whitecaps beyond, to your
: left is Alcatraz Island haunted by the ghost of the Birdman and his
: feathery friends. Glancing at your rearview you notice that your pal
: Winston, who is in London England and connected by voicemodem, is
: quickly gaining on your tail. You run and get a Tony Bennett CD
: playing to make him nostalgic and it works, because Winston starts
: to croon horribly along with Tony and you see his car back off.
: You sneer briefly before you hammer out of Golden Gate, disappearing
: into the light fog in the city by the bay...
: Only a machine built with Tom & Jerry could create a cat and mouse
: driving fantasy that was so fun.
: Jag "Alien vs. Predator" (20th Century FOX movie-on-a-cart) versus 32X
: "Kramer vs. Kramer" versus Galoob vs. Nintendo. Only the Jag can pull
: this off so good, so fast, so frightening. The 32X can't hack it and
: if you deny it, you can't handle the truth. The PC can't, the 3D0
: can't, no other game system can. And if you lie about being more advanced
: than the Jag we'll see you in court. People's Court.
The PC can't? duh, the PC already has your Alien Vs Preditor, its called
a pwad and wad to Doom. The PC can handle Quake but even the Jag cant,
they are going to remove a lot of stuff for the Jag on Quake, because it
cant handle it, so if the PC can do Quake and other True 3-D games, I
guess you wrong right? The Jaguar is weak and will not survive, trust
me... You must be drunk and therfore missing a few brain cells.
So what you are a Jaguar advocate, big deal, its not impressive
because there are not titles for it and its boring. You are also on the
wrong base, try the Atari video game newsgroup...
