  1. Okay real talk: I can't be the only one that has noticed that the 2nd generation Steam Controller looks similar to the controller from Atari's failed Jaguar console. :neobot_laugh_sweat: This is something I noticed immedietely when Valve unveiled this new Steam Controller and I cannot unsee the resemblance! 😅 :blobcat_flop_woozy:

  2. It's on: JagJam, the gamejam for the Atari Jaguar, started today. If you'd like to code a game for one of the most unique systems of the 90s that initially awed id Software's John Carmack, provoked Sega to rush their 32X to market and even got Sony briefly taking notice while they were finishing their Playstation, this is your chance! 😎 Thanks to Songbird Productions and @ctrlaltrees for being part of this year's JagJam again. And don't worry if you don't have that much time: JagJam runs until the end of October, so you've got six months to go. Looking forward to your entries! 🥳 Please spread the word if this whole thing is something you'd like to see getting more attention. Cheers!

  3. I had the chance to talk about Jaguar's history rather briefly at Digital Retro Park (well, more or less briefly), and while I left out many details mentioned in "Clipped Claws", it might be worth to take a look, if you're interested. In German language only, sound is a bit of a challenge, as no external microphone was used. Cheers!

  4. Here’s an example of loading and title animations I created for the game Jumping at Shadows from #Reboot for the #Atari #jaguar
    For all the Jaguar fans out there, go grab their games; they’re the best!
    This animation was created in the original #disneystyle all hand-drawn on #cellophane and captured with a camera.

  5. Out of all the #Famicom clone consoles out there, this is the only one I'd love to actually own and take a closer look at: The Zenon 2, allegedly made in South Korea and perhaps from the early 2000s.

    The #Atari conaisseurs among you will notice a certain relationship to the Jaguar - but the molds never left the US, where all cases were made, and so it would be nice to see how close they got to the real Jaguar with their guesswork for the case here. Unfortunately, they seem to be incredibly rare - so much so that this is the only photo that I could find of this variation (there seems to be a blue one that also seems to be a bit more crude in design than this). So in case you own one and want to sell it, or would at least feel comfortable taking some good quality pics of it, or you live or know anyone living in South Korea who might be able to help trace this console down, feel free to share, comment or link someone here.

    I'd be very happy to someday get this and maybe add a little footnote in my book "Clipped Claws" about this very strange thing. I mean who'd come up with the idea to make a Famiclone 8bit clone console look like a failed Atari console basically nobody knew about in the target area? Fascinating all around the more you think about it. Well, enough rambling - thanks for your time anyways. Cheers!

  6. Ejagfest 2024 - I was there! And it was great! Good vibes only, so many nice people. Was amazing to meet Carl Forhan from Songbird in person, got to shake hands with Ian McCranor who played Angus in Kasumi Ninja, had a look at the final version of Jumping at Shadows, played Tempest 2000 on an old Jag kiosk unit ... so much nerdy fun in one day. Wow. Cheers everyone, have a splendid weekend as well! 🎉🍻
