The Jaguar has one good game.

Tempest 2000

oh and Defender 2000 or whatever.

AKA: 3Dish diddleremakes of games.

It has more good games then that. Granted none of them are exclusives but I quite enjoy Rayman, the above mentioned Tempest 2000, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Cannon Fodder, Flashback, even Doom with its total lack of music. With Doom I play my own music, I have a dark ambient album by the group Temple of Not that is pants shittingly terrifying when combined with Doom and makes the game even better.

So did the group buy happened? If not, I would be down for one. I just got my Turbo and would very much like to test out games on an actual console before putting down money for a Hucard. $150 is a bit steep, but I would be ready to spend $100 plus shipping for one. Really looking for Krikzz’s everdrive, but I would like to start checking out games now.

No, several individuals, including myself, were interested in doing it, but it never happened. There is the question of whether it will work with your Turbo anyway with some systems being unable to supply enough voltage to operate it properly. Some systems work, some don't. That same question goes for the everdrive as well. With it supposed to use SD cards for its storage medium, it may have the exact same problem as the flash carts unless Krikzz can overcome that problem somehow. I personally would still like to attempt to obtain the flash cart in the possibility that the everdrive never sees the light of day.

I read in the previous replies about the risks of it not working. I'm thinking that if it doesn't, I could always try to find a cheap TG16 until it works or just resell the flash cart. At $50 cheaper than what they usually sell it for, I'm thinking that wouldn't be that hard to get rid of it without losing too much money.

I recall that people were having the 128M versions being Dead on arrival as well. If I were to go for one, I'd prefer the 64M flash cart. I'll try starting a thread for a multi-buy for one to see if there is still interest.

I completely forgot about this! I was on board for the group buy back then, and still in for one now. personally the bigger storage the better, but I'm willing to compromise and go with the majority if it means saving a few bucks with the group buy.

I'm slowly trying to catch up on everything, but I am still interested in a group discount purchase.

The NEO Power 128 Flash Cart is rubbish, Krikzz who has created several fantastic flash carts and will be releasing one for the pc engine (so I've heard), hopefully this is true as it would use a sd card and compatablity would be great and no use of those silly drivers and slow burning method, just drag and drop.
