I am only missing a couple of games to have a full set of Jaguar games new and sealed. Even my Jag and the CD expansion are new in box. I bought a huge lot of them about a decade ago from the guy who bought Atari's warehouse stock.

Yes, and I met and talked to Howard Scott Warshaw during the premiere screening of "Game Over" in Las Vegas a few years ago. Great guy. It was the first time he had seen the documentary and was flattered to be portrayed as someone given too little time and having made a game that wasn't that terrible, anyway.

Thats a really interesting article. I think I remember playing the replacement game for Stadium Events on the power pad around 1990. I have to watch that documentary Nintendo Quest now as thats one hell of a game room Zippy.

I showed the article to my wife, specifically the part about your wife standing behind you shouting "Buy It! Buy It!". I said "Look how much fun she lets him have!". Wife was not terribly amused.
