Too late. This thread has already lived much longer than the Jaguar did.

I just don’t get it, lots of people foam at the mouth over Tempest, what’s the matter with the PS1/Saturn or the PS4 versions? I also kept hearing about Atari Karts and I was stoked to play it on Atari 50 but it’s like a meh N64 game to me almost like Disney Racing on the Dreamcast which I think is better even.
Now I Robot on the collection that was great.
I would mind trying Aliens maybe when I get my Superstation in

I's not a 10/10. It's not even that good.

The consensus seems to be that the ports just don't quite feel right. The PS1 version is technically not even the same game.
Some people just like to dick around with game hardware. I say let people have their harmless hobbies, even if you're personally not interested, and there's probably something more fulfilling out there they could be spending their time on.

Tempest 2000 looked very impressive at the time of its announcement, but was pretty quickly left behind when the PS1 & Saturn started to show what they could do with the shmup genre.
Of course Atari nerds love it because it's by Jeff Minter. He also could release a turd on a stick and Atari fanz would blow their loads.

Poor dude woke up from a nightmare, into a worse nightmare... where he owned a Jaguar. The hottie left him soon after she tried the Jaguar.

Bit like most Jaguar owners I suspect.
Seriously what kind of stupid asshole says that.

I mean his online name is GOAT so I didn’t assume he smelt like berries.
What was he like out of interest? He seems like a pretty decent level headed bloke by the interviews he’s given.
Curry with the GOAT: Jeff Minter on 40 years operating on the far side
Jeff Minter is a genius. I don't know how else to describe a developer who's been dabbling in far out magic since 1982 …
