JagDoomEX - The Jaguar port gets an improved fan-version that might be worth checking out

Here's something we don't feature very often as it's the turn of the Atari Jaguar with the updated release of JagDoomEX, a project designed to breathe new life into the classic 1994 Atari Jaguar version of DOOM. Spearheaded by ChillyWilly, who has worked on a number of other ports including the Vic-20, this release focuses on a massive overhaul of the game's audio and music systems, integrating collaborative work from developers like Joe (Chilly) and the JagDoomEvolved Team. Additionally, the project introduces a clever "music-aware" audio filtering system that throttles repetitive background sound effects only when music is active, preventing audio clutter during intense combat without altering the standard experience when playing with sound effects alone.

Crumbs! - Pac-Man on the Atari Jaguar? Well sort of!


Throughout the years there have been many Pac-Man games mentioned on Indie Retro News, from the Pac-Man Xtreme romhack, to Jr. Pac-Man on the Intellivision and even a Pac-Man game on the Pico-8, which all vary in style to the 1980's hit classic that can still be found today sitting as a port beside an Atari 2600 ( or if you're lucky an original Arcade machine ).

It's time for the Atari Jaguar to come out of the cold as pre-orders are now available for the platformer shooter ' Custodian ', which is Piko Interactive's very first Atari Jaguar release. Now some of you may remember this game from the late 1980's that's because it was released on both the Amiga and Atari ST by Hewson, and featured a number of levels, many different weapons and power ups and a great soundtrack by David Whittaker. However Piko Interactive have ported the game from the Atari ST version over to the Atari Jaguar, while keeping the Amiga version music intact.

In 1982-1987, Irem with licensing by Williams released the fantastically enjoyable game of' ' Moon Patrol ' for the Arcade gaming community. A side-scrolling shooter that is widely credited for the introduction of parallax scrolling in side-scrolling video games, as you drove a buggy across a landscape, jumping over ditches and rocks while also shooting at enemies both above and in front was such a great game to play. It was so popular in fact that many remember it on a multitude of home systems such as the Atari 800, 2600, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Dreamcast and Intellivision.
