If you're one of the few people who actually reads this section of
JEO, you've probably noticed a consistent theme in these things--
continual amazement that, long after Atari officially abandoned the
Jaguar, there's still news to report. But it just keeps coming, and
coming, and coming. Who would've thought?
And now a little something bizarre... over my Christmas/New Years
vacation, I visited a friend who had an N64 with, among other things,
San Francisco Rush. After spending hours playing it, I was suddenly
struck by its many similarities to... Club Drive! SF Rush and Club
Drive both: Let you race the streets of San Francisco; have secret
hidden areas and shortcuts; allow you to drive wherever you want; have
a very liberal physics model; show a rather wacky sense of humor; have
mechanisms for withdrawing the player from places they're not supposed
to be; have a very accurate collision model. It's difficult to explain
to someone who hasn't spent a lot of time playing both games, but SF
Rush feels like the game Club Drive was intended to be. Weird.
In other news, I hope you'll forgive my inclusion of so much Project X
news in a purportedly Jag-only forum. But in a thematic sense, Project
X really is the Jaguar 2 (or Jaguar 3, if you want to get picky).
There's a startling quantity of former Atari employees working on it,
and more importantly, it's the good ones. Who knows... by 1999, this
newsletter may have become "Project X Online"...

//// Jaguar Message Boards
Anyone with web browsing capability can join in on the discussions on
three web-based Jaguar message boards out there on the net. Note that,
due to the rapid message turnover and instant-update nature of these
boards, they have a tendency to burn through topics in a matter of
days instead of weeks (or hours instead of days).
