You did the layout? Why didn't you let us know about this sooner?

As for the price tag, that won't keep hardcore Jaguar fans from buying, I'm sure. Really, were YOU planning on buying it?

I am considering it, but I will get Protector SE, Skyhammer first before I even think about getting TC. I want to play original titles more than conversions at this point, but I would like to support Songbird.

Yes, the price is high but considering that this is a small/custom print run, I think the high cost/price is understandable. But it is hard to justify when you can get the $19.99 collection (or heck, emulation for free).

the mind reels at what they will plop their money down for, but it is theirs to plop so more power to them.
I just find it weird that someone on AA started a thread a couple of weeks ago asking if jagfans would be willing to pay such a price, and lo and behold, here it is, at this price (if everyone had said no more than $50, would the game be cheaper?). I don't think Carl is the kind of guy to do that, it's just weird is all.

It (sort of) makes sense to continue working on exclusive, obscure Jaguar titles. However, releasing a port of a bad arcade game for $90 when a perfect version with a better control setup is available on other systems with several other games for $20, that's where fanboy/collector stupidity really shines.

I have one problem with this, how are you supposed to fire without another stick handy?

I was thinking the same thing.
The SNES conrtroller made that version playable, but I don't see how it could play properly on a jag pad.
As far as the price goes, I'd pay it if I were a fan of the game or a jag freak.
It's probably a better game than a lot of MVS games that fetch a similar price.

There are 2 control setups for the Jag version - either fire with the regular fire buttons (I believe it locks into your angle as long as you hold it down), or fire in any direction with the keypad.

End of discussion for the Jaguar version of Total Carnage, which is now the new definition example for superfluous and unnecesary.
