Atari Explorer Online: The Next Generation ||| Travis Guy / | \ GEnie: AEO.MAG Delphi: AEO_MAG Internet: aeo.mag@genie.geis.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a busy three weeks for me. Too busy in fact to effectively coordinate a regular issue of AEO that meets the standards you, our readers, have come to expect. Things are starting to look up now, so I can calmly state that next weekend will see a return to the normal AEO schedule. What we've been able to cook up for you game-starved Atarians this week is a hash of recent Jaguar and Lynx activity. A stew of news, press releases, and peeks at what lies ahead. There's good news, and some sad news as well. The good news is scattered throughout the issue. I'll leave it to you to determine what's best for you: Lynx games are at amazingly low prices (I bought several this past week, and "sold" some units to friends); details about some third party titles are emerging, including what I feel to be a "John Madden Football-killer"; AEO has received the official word that we're going to Summer CES (and bringing along cameras)... there's good news in here for all. The sad news is that after five years at Atari Corporation, the "voice of Atari", Director of Communications Bob Brodie has announced that he is resigning. Bob's effervecent presense will be sorely missed by Atarians around the world. I consider Bob to be a personal friend, and while I wish him well in his new endeavors, I will hold him to his promise to keep in touch with Atarians through the electronic pages of AEO. Bob will hold his last Dateline: Atari next Friday, June 3rd. The transcript will be included in AEO_0309, to be uploaded shortly thereafter. See you then. The following is Bob's public announcement. Reprinted here courtesy of Bob, and the ST RoundTable on GEnie. Category 14, Topic 24 Message 1 Mon May 23, 1994 BOB-BRODIE [Atari Corp.] at 17:51 EDT Dear Friends, For some time now, I have felt that I needed to spend more time with my family. I have been presented an opportunity that will not only allow me to work at home two to three days a week, but also includes a significant pay increase. I cannot in good conscience to my family refuse this opportunity. It is with great regret that I have sumbmitted my resignation effective June 3, 1994. For almost five years now, my job at Atari has had a very high priority in my life. During that time frame, my two sons have begun to turn in to men, and my little girl into a teenager. My sons have been a real handful the past two years in particular, and my being around them has had a very positive effect on them. Even though there have been, from time to time, other job offers, my preference has been to remain with Atari. I believe in our products, and they are my personal choice as a consumer as well. If my personal circumstances did not require me to be at home more often, I would gladly remain with the company. It's not often that someone has an opportunity to turn their hobby into their job. I am thankful that Atari allowed me to do just that!! I am grateful for the opportunity to serve Atari, and the Tramiel family. I have enjoyed my time at Atari, and have gained invaluable experience. I wish the company great success with all of it's products!! If fate should bring our paths together again, I would welcome the opportunity to work with Atari again. It has been a privilege to serve you. My thanks go out to all of you ( and there are far too many to mention here!) that have been such a special part of my life. I have made friendships with people via GEnie that I expect to be a part of the rest of my days!! Sincerely, Bob Brodie --==--==--==--==-- ||| Jaguar Tackboard ||| Confirmed information about Atari's Jaguar / | \ Compiled from online and official sources ----------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= //// Independent Association of Jaguar Developers =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The IAJD (Independent Association of Jaguar Developers) has started accepting members on GEnie.

Only to "approved" developers. In this case, "approved" means you have convinced Atari you're serious about and able to do Jaguar development. (Id and WMS have an easy time of that; we garage shops need to work a little harder to convince them! But it is important to note that they don't discriminate in that regard.) The reasoning behind this (just guessing here) is that their resources are extremely scarce, and they commit a lot of resources to helping developers. People, time, and equipment, etc. So they don't want to waste those precious resources on someone who's just curious about how all this stuff works. Atari wants those resources to result in GAMES ON THE SHELVES. And then of course they'd prefer not to just hand the specs to this lovely hardware to their competition for a few bucks! So here's the path you need to follow: Call Bill Rehbock +1 (408) 745-2082 and tell him you want the information kit on becoming a developer. He *WILL* ask you to first send him information on your company, previous titles published on which systems, etc. If this doesn't apply to you (i.e. two guys in a garage), be prepared to send him *something* that convinces him that you have what it takes to develop Jaguar games. You aren't even going to get the application if you can't do this... Oh yeah, and be patient. It would be easy to believe Bill Rehbock is a fictitious person, since it is nearly impossible to actually get in touch with him. Keep trying. Send back the application form, along with signed Non Disclosure Agreement forms. If all you want is the technical specs at this point, it's something like $200. *IF* you are approved as a developer they will send you the specs, otherwise I guess they return your check. Note that at this point, being under NDA, you aren't allowed to share that info with *anyone*. So at least in a legal sense they have stopped their competitors from getting the technical info even by setting up a sham company. Complain all you want that "I don't want to go through the bother of being approved as a developer just to get the specs; I want to see them *before* I decide to apply"... They have the Jaguar specs, you don't, you have to play by their rules. It really isn't unreasonable if you're serious about this. At this point you can also buy a development system (roughly $7500 for the DOS-based one, you supply your own PC; roughly $9000 for the TT030-based one, which comes with a TT030). While you are in theory correct that anyone could design a debugging board for use in the Jag and then use readily available 68K tools I doubt you'd want to do that. They send you a slightly modified Jaguar (special boot ROMS, a few internal/external wiring tricks, etc.) and a very nice RAM-for-ROM emulator board. I guess you could use whatever 68000 assembler or C cross-compiler you wanted in any event, but then you also need to compile code for the GPU and DSP. Atari developers aren't suffering from a LACK of a good debugging board, and a generic board and tools doesn't give you enough functionality. (I've reverse-engineered and reprogrammed enough hardware in my life, using homemade debugging and emulator tools, that I can truly appreciate what comes with this development system!) Oh yeah, and one final plug: once you become a developer, by all means join the Independent Association of Jaguar Developers (IAJD), on GEnie. Great bunch of people there, all helping each other out. Hope this helps, and hope to see some of you pop up as fellow developers on the next press release, or in the IAJD conference on GEnie! --==--==--==--==-- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- --==--==-- CompuServe Sign-Up Information --==--==-- -- -- -- -- To sign up for CompuServe service, call (voice call) (800) 848-8199. -- -- Ask for operator #198.

It is I, the trusty Jaguar Junkie, back after another two weeks to bring you all the Jaguar news that is fit to print... and then some. Topping the charts this week is the absence of the rest of the AEO staff. Many people have suggested that they got lost somewhere in the Information Superhighway, but I think that Travis finally cracked and is holding them all hostage in his attic and will only release them after Atari releases another Jag game. Only time will tell. In the meantime, while various SysAdmins search for our lost reporters, I will use the space to my advantage to bring you double the amount of regularly scheduled JagNews (tm). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= //// From the Yak =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Let's start things off with some CD news direct from the Yak's mouth. As of thirty minutes ago Jeff Minter was currently trippin' to Pink Floyd on his T.V. That's right, his lightsynth is working. Now this means a couple of things: 1) The JagCD unit is nearing completion. 2) Jeff will be travelling to Atari HQ in Sunnyvale soon to coordinate his efforts with Atari in an effort to finalize the JagCD as soon as possible. 3) Jeff will soon need something else to keep him occupied.... Seeing Jeff needs to be "occupied," Atari has recently approached him with the offer to do a Major Havoc upgrade, thus yielding Major Havoc 2000 (or something to that effect). Hearing this news straight from the Yak's mouth (some of you might have instead read Jeff's post on Usenet) certainly got ye ole' Junkie excited, as The Major was one of my favorite games as a young lad. There was only one problem. Jeff informed me that he had never played Major Havoc. That's been taken care of, now we can sit back and wait for the final decision to be made deep in the confines of 1196 Borregas. Will Major Havoc appear on the Jag or not. Stay tuned.... Speaking of large, furry bovines, I managed to dig up this bit of JagNews from Mr. Minter dated 8/14/91. I thought you would enjoy it. "Of course Panther is now dead, and I'm waiting to get my mitts on Jaguar. Third time lucky this time? I'm determinded to do some console work one way or another, and if Jaguar is everything Atari are hinting then, in terms of hardware, it's going to nuke the Megadrive and Famicom into a glowing radioactive pile of melted silicon. Take the brain of a workstation, bolt it onto some kickin' graphix hardware and you've got one awesome games engine. So Atari have the ideal opportunity to reclaim their homeland from the invading Japanese. Nintendo and Sega have made their moves; Atari knows that their hardware is way better than both of the Japanese offerings. Ultimately, however, it is the quality of the software available which will decide the matter. In this respect Atari shouldn't set out just to emulate the Japanese. They should go all-out and bury them." Well put Jeff! Jeff will be talking Jaguar in a sure-to-be frenzied Real Time Conference on the GEnie ST RoundTable in mid-June. The tentitive date for the gabfest is Saturday, June 18, the weekend before Summer CES. If you have your GEnie account (and if you don't you should get one), drop by. Maybe Jeff will let slip some of the amazing things he's seen in Sunnyvale. On to some actual news... sitting in front of me are two faxes from Tradewest (ok, they tell me that they're now Williams Entertainment) that Jag owners might be interested in reading. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= //// Description of Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Marketed as a "tournament-style fighting game," Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls is being developed for the Genny, Sneeze and Jaguar. Features: 4 fighting modes-- Tournament, Vs. Battle Quest Mode, Battle Demo 4 levels of gameplay 12 unique characters-- Billy and Jimmy Lee, Blade, Bones, Countdown, Dominique, Ice Pick, Jawbreaker, Sekka, Sickle, Trigger Happy, and the Shadow Master 12 different battle locations and an overview map showing their positions within the game Both 1 and 2 player capability Cool Features: 4-6 special secret moves per character 4 turbo modes 15 different music scores (stereo) Options screen-- allows players to customize gameplay and game controls Full character dossiers Full character attributes-- allow players to increase or or decrease their favorite characters strength and defensive and special move capabilities Fight and battle stats-- lets players keep track of each character's number of wins, losses, draws, bonuses, health and hit percentage, and the time left in each match Look for DD5: The Shadow Falls on the Sneeze and Genny August 5th, and the Jag version sometime during the 4th Quarter. Now let's check out what I deem as the Jag's Madden killer: Troy Aikman NFL Football. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= //// Description of Troy Aikman NFL Football =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Product Description ........... FULLY LICENSED NFL FOOTBALL GAME Features: All 28 NFL teams and their logos 5 play modes-- player, player coach, 2 player head to head, 2 player coach, demo 3 season modes-- pre-season games, '93-'94 season including full play-off schedule and Superbowl, custom season where players can design their own 16 game season 6 field options-- grass, mud, dirt, snow, rain, artificial turf Variable quarter lengths-- 2, 5, 10, or 15 minutes Rookie, pro, and veteran difficulty levels Internal battery that stores up to 7 pages of full game, pre-season, season, and career statistics for every player and team; plus overall standings for each conference & division Pre-game report 54 offensive and 27 defensive configurations to choose from.

Don't hold me to these dates, but they are direct from Williams Entertanment. Also, I can't confirm if the Jaguar's cart will include the "internal battery" option. As soon as I can find that out, you'll be the first to know. (Travis is drooling over the specs already, and promises to dig up info on TAF wherever he can find it.) One more thing... this was from a quote at the top of the fax: "And to make sure your customers know that Troy's waiting to hand the ball off to them, we've packed plenty of support behind Troy Aikman NFL Football. There's all sorts of advertising. In-Store displays. Counter cards. Posters. Plus some extra-special merchandising materials and consumer promotions. Troy Aikman. He's led the Cowboys to back-to-back Superbowl wins. And now, he's going to lead you to new heights in football game sales." One more thing still, Troy Aikman NFL Football will include the new two-point conversion rules! Sounds good to me! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= //// Alien Adventures =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Let's switch gears here and talk about something that everyone knows about. No, I'm not talking about the Knicks beating the Bulls, but rather something that was on T.V. at the same time: Aliens. That's right, during the same time frame as the Knicks vs Bulls game, Fox was showing Aliens. Oooohh, that got my blood pumping. If Atari had been on the ball they should have thrown in an AvP add during one or two of the commerical breaks saying something like Aliens vs. Predator coming this summer to a Jaguar near you! But no, as much as I was hoping, no Jag commercials surfaced. Eager to find out something about Aliens vs Predator, I inflated my phone bill and discovered that Rebellion has temporarily slowed development of their next game, Legions of the Undead, in an effort to get AvP wrapped up as soon as possible. From what I understand, Rebellion's head programmer is stationed in Sunnyvale right now tying up loose ends at Atari's request. Looks like things are finally coming together! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= //// Other Jaguar News =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= //// Rebellion's Redline Racing (which was formerly named Checkered Flag) has been renamed... to Checkered Flag! //// Speaking of Rebellion, here's a very promising quote from Jason Kingsley in the May issue of Die Hard GameFan. (Re: Legions of the Undead) "...We're hoping to do a 24meg version AND also a CD version." "How would the CD version be different?" "Size, mainly. I want it to be absolutely huge - hundreds of levels, endless new graphics, and above all a massive, massive challenge. I think it's a con how so many CD games these days are just sonically enhanced, with some video bunged on the beginning. Game players want so much more than that, but it all takes time and money." //// What about Kasumi Ninja? AEO managaed to track down Ted Tahquichi, who was forced to divulge these facts: [] Three more characters have been added. Three more are being worked in at the current time. [] The Project target date to release to beta test is the end of June. Consider that to be the Word From Atari on KN's date. //// Here's another good one. When describing AvP in the October '93 issue, EGM testers stated that "The 3-D Wolfenstein-type game was OK but nothing that hasn't been done already on the Super NES." Yeah, sure. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= //// Rumorville =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The following rumors are *ONLY RUMORS* and are in NO way official statements by Atari. [] Jeff Minter might include a hidden version of "Llamatron" or "Revenge of the Mutant Camels" in his next game (you'll know by next issue if this is true or not). [] The Lynx version of AvP might be ComLynxable similar to a network DOOM game. (Up to 3 people can fight against each other.) [] Juli Wade is tapping her fingers waiting for Wolf-3D, scheduled to go into production ASAP. (Look for an interview with Juli Wade in the next AEO) [] Kasumi Ninja is running at 60 fps! [] AEO will finally get some EPROMs <g>. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= //// Into The Past =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= That's about all the news on the Jag front for the time being. I'd like to leave you with a parting quote once again from our pals at EGM - February 1991. ATARI SET TO ROAR WITH NEW "PANTHER" 16-BIT MACHINE "...Into this fray comes an unexpected player in the 16-Bit sweepstakes. A company that possesses the technical ability to create a system capable of taking super-guns Ninte--- and S*!&. While the fact that Atari Corp., who currently markets the most technologically advanced hand-held in the form of the Lynx, is planning a major push into the 16-Bit console area may surprise some, the hardware that they've engineered will surprise even more. Code-named "Panther" (apparently keeping in lines with Atari naming all their products after the feline family), the 16-Bit super system that the wizards at Atari have come up with is, by all accounts, a quite superior piece of gaming technology. With a main processor that's rumored to run at an astounding 16MHz (compared to the 8MHz or the Genesis and the 12 MHz or the home arcade machine-Neo Geo- and the rumored 14Mhz of the SNES) and the built-in brains to scale images (a truly powerful ability used quite effectively in the Lynx), the Panther may just surprise everyone and find a home in the hearts of the game playing public..." Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please send them to EXPLORER.5 on GEnie, or explorer.5@genie.geis.com from the Internet. Long live the Fuji! Ahh, finally a column with no reports of AvP delays.... Tal Funke-Bilu, your infatuated Jaguar Junkie. --==--==--==--==-- ||| AEO at Summer CES! ||| Special Offer / | \ GEnie: AEO.MAG Delphi: AEO_MAG Internet: aeo.mag@genie.geis.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =-= SPECIAL OFFER =-= =-= =-= =-= AEO At CES - You Get to Watch! =-= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I am writing this with a big smile on his face, for I have just learned that I will be travelling to Chicago in mid-June for none other than the Summer Consumer Electronics Show. AEO has been officially admitted! That is the good news for me, but what about you, the loyal reader? I have arranged for many Good Things. First and foremost, I will be recording everything that goes on during the 3 day fiesta on VHS video tape. This should result in a full 2-hour production available to the readers of AEO for less than US$20.00. Here is a short list of many of the exciting things that we plan on covering in our video. THE OBVIOUS: All the booths, many press releases, etc... all the regular "show" stuff. THE AEO EXCLUSIVES: [] Jeff Minter! [] LOOONNNGGG clips from upcoming Jag games! [] Personal interviews with many different Jag developers, and if they aren't too swamped, various Atari employees. WHAT WON'T BE ON THE TAPE: The CES Keynote Speech by Nintendo of America's Chairman, Howard Lincoln! Keep in mind that this is hot off the presses, and subject to random whims of Fate. We are currently trying to secure as many interviews, Good Things, and downright killer screenshots as possible. While I'm expecting more than 2-hours of cool video, I can't guarantee more than that. If all works well, you could easily end up with a 3 or 4 hour tape in your hands. There's no telling until I get there.... So here's the scoop.

They are black and feature the yellow Jaguar eyes as well as the blood-red Jaguar logo. I understand these are being shipped to the upcoming C.E.S. show, but I have managed to, well let's say, "put some aside for my friends" <g>. So here's another freebie for everyone... (YEA!) Send me a self-addressed and pre-stamped envelope and I'll put one of these "hot-off-the-press" three-color eye-poppers in it right back to you. The dimensions are 3"x12" so keep that in mind. If you really do not want a gentle fold in it, send an envelope at least 12 inches long and make sure there's cardboard in it. If you are not sure how long 12 inches is, try a ruler. Send to: Don's Really Hot Jaguar Bumper Sticker Freebie Atari Corporation P.O. Box 61657 Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1657 The bumper stickers are FREE as long as you promise that you'll proudly display it where all your friends will see it. I recommend getting Mom and Dad's permission before slapping it on their furniture, appliances or automobiles. Maybe they'll let you tape it in the back window of the car (tape it so the logo faces out please). I hope everyone likes these. Consider it a "THANKS" for your patience as we work our "bumpers" off getting some more software into your hot hands as fast as we can! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= //// Atari Corp's Jaguar Catalog =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= *********************************************************** * * * * ** * BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS OF * * * ** * ATARI JAGUAR GAMES v051394 * * * ** * * * * ** * COMPILED BY ATARI * * ** ** ** CUSTOMER SERVICE * * *** ** *** * * **** ** **** (C) 1994 BY ATARI CORPORATION * * * *********************************************************** * Products named are trademarks or registered trademarks * * or their owning companies. * * Product descriptions, availability and pricing subject * * to correction and/or change without notice. * *********************************************************** CYBERMORPH - FUTURISTIC FLIGHT BATTLE The evil Pernitia Empire has the ultimate weapon: robotic technologies that can rebuild themselves.

(Telegames) Release: October 1994 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= //// North American Jaguar Dealer List =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= It is not thought that anyone should have any problems finding the Atari Jaguar 64-bit video entertainment system available near them for purchase. Just the same, we at Atari Corporation certainly would not want that to be an excuse not to get one. This list includes an abridged list of Atari Jaguar resellers across the country. Many dealers buy through distributors and Atari Corporation does not service them directly. Consequently, a comprehensive list of dealers is difficult to assemble. Please feel free to contact Don Thomas at Atari if you know of another fine reseller in your area that should be added to the list. This list does not include a verbose listing of chain store locations. The Jaguar is available for demonstration and sale at Toys R Us, Good Guys, Babbages, Nobody Beats The Wiz and many other national or regional chain store locations. Look for the Jaguar to rent at select BlockBuster locations too. If you are a store manager or store owner who is not included on this list, please fax your request to be included to: 408/745-2088. Many of the locations below are delighted to fulfill mail and phone orders. Many also accept preorders to assure express delivery when new titles are released. Please note that this is NOT an "official" list. It is being maintained informally for the benefit of Jaguar enthusiasts.

Although I realize that this BBS may not be practical for most of you to utilize regularly, it is being set up as a data source of news and information regarding Jaguar and Lynx products. Here are some of the features: [] An ongoing list of Jaguar/Lynx dealers which may be captured by state. [] Product descriptions selectable by title. [] Press releases from Atari and related third party sources. [] Gaming hints and tips. [] Game reviews. [] Questions and answers. [] Orders accepted for Atari products. (Processed by Atari as an extension to Atari's Customer Service Policies. All items sold at MSRP and billed by Atari. NO funds collected benefit the BBS or the SysOp. This is for the convenience of modem users who may not have access to online services to leave orders in E-Mail. [] Competitive knock offs. My first goal is to force myself into a practice to assemble pertinent and accurate data in one central area. By doing this, I will also be building a resource for the online press, SYSOPS of independent BBSs and a resource for retailers to help them answer customer questions in the store. It can also be used to preview editor's stories, if desired for accuracy. There is an extensive dealer referral system; listable by state. There are product descriptions and other features that telecommuters may enjoy obtaing about the Atari Jaguar and/or Lynx. The system provides the rare opportunity to be invited directly into the home office of Atari management to capture up-to-date information, pass on ideas or even place an order. There are downsides right now. A lot of energy and time is going to create this resource, BUT I still have obstacles to overcome. 1) Currently, access is limited to 2400 baud and lower. That should be upgraded in the future. 2) A lot of info is already on the system, but it will take time to bring it up to speed. Many of the data banks are menu driven and time consuming scripts files must be written to accommodate them. at present product description and log on files are all taken care of. I expect dealer lists will be formatted and up today. 3) Total storage is presently restricted to 20 MEG. I hope this may be expanded as needed. 4) The system only supports one line at this time. In any case, feel free to log on quickly and establish your accounts. TRUSTED remopte SYSOP positions are available. The number to CATscan is: +1 (209) 239-1552 It is open to the public, but certain areas are diasabled for initial callers. There is NO fee to use the system. The system WILL BE CENSORED. Only data that is positive toward the image of Atari and companies supporting Atari will be permitted. Please pass this number on to dealers and developers who want to be included. I will be happy to be set up to accept 3rd party orders IF they are registered and licensed by Atari. If a dealer wants to be listed, all he has to do is post a request to the SYSOP. Information may also be added to the system by contacting me at the following addresses: CIS: 75300,1267 GENIE: ATARI PRODIGY: EUKG11A Again, don't expect too much initially and please be persistent if you get a busy. I am conducting frequent tests that might tie up the line, but I will not disconnect anyone on the system. Thanks!
