>>2847884

Tempest 2000
AvP
Doom
Wolfenstein 3D
Rayman
Super Burnout

These are the only games I can say are objectively good, with no "but..."s

That said Tempest 2000 is fucking awesome and Doom was the best console port until the PS1 version. Wolf 3D is the improved fullscreen higher color depth, higher res texture/sprite Macintosh version with extra weapons.

Attack of the Mutant Penguins is actually a good game but I can't recommend it because of the learning curve. By the time I understood it well enough that I enjoyed it, the frustration of figuring it out had ruined it for me.

I'd add the Iron Soldier games and Raiden.

I dunno who thinks like that, we actually did get the Jaguar pretty close to maxed out (Carmack did code on it).

I kinda wanna get a jaguar but ever since I bought tempest 2000 for my Saturn I don't really see the point. The only other games I'm interested in for it are syndicate, wolfenstein and maybe cannon fodder and rayman. The games just aren't really good enough to justify the high prices most of the time. I wouldn't mind playing some of the "so bad they're good" games like fight for life or kasumi ninja though.

I wish it wasn't such a bitch to program for, more homebrews would be nice since the jaguar has real potential to give the Saturn a run for its money when it comes to impressive 2D games.

Watched the longplay. That game did not age well. It looks more primitive than Rise of the Trials and all the aliens move like deep south inbred retard babies. And that "ambient" music is just grinding.

>did not age well
Only faggots even use that word. Of course it won't be ANYTHING like a modern 3D game. Why even bother with this concept? The pool of games that don't meet your criteria is obviously composed by the smashing majority of games, and it's only growing.

The port of Doom was actually quite good, even though it lacked music.
Put on some fitting music in the background and you're set to go (GBA Doom had a pretty good rendition of the soundtrack).

Then there's the Penguin game, AvP, Tempest 2000, etc.
Avoid the CD unit though, they were badly designed and the CD rotor engine was prone to breaking from use, getting it to work is a chore and there really aren't any games worth checking out on it.

>>2848738
The Jag was actually pretty potent, it was just difficult to get the performance you wanted, very tricky system architecture.

>>2848790
Oh yeah, Wolf 3D, great port of that, highly recommend if you have a Jag.

>>2849571
It was a pretty small library.

The music was ass, and it lacked a lot of levels (Ep3 mainly), and no Spidermastermind or Cyberdemon, but aside fron that, it's actually WAY better than the SNES one, better resolution, better gamespeed, no lag, better controls.

The CD addon was really shit and made it look like a toilet chair, yes.

Until the Playstation it had the best home console port.

T2K is by far the best game. You can even hack together a paddle controller and it'll work with it.
I've heard Rayman has better color on the Jag than the PS.
Trevor McFur is worth playing once just for that fucking lion head. My brother and I must have laughed for five straight minutes at that.
