1/2 Atari Underground update 3-22-98
 PRE WORD
First I just want to say sorry for the lack of updates. I've been
BIZZY as hell, and it's not like there was tons of news pouring out.
BUT I have added EVERYONE that has msg'ed me about being added to the
AU list. I'm proud to say the the Atari Underground is ALMOST at 1,000
members. If you know anyone who is not on the list have them msg me.
 THE BIG FEST (OR THE PONY EXPRESS?)
Second Annual - Atari Jaguar Festival, 1998
Newsletter #2
 ///Round 2
Welcome to the second Jag Fest newsletter for 1998. Big stuff is up
in the world of the 'Fest...more specifics, more attractions, and more
Jaguar fun!  Enough of this boring introductory junk, let's get to the
goods...
 ///8 Jag Network? You Bet!
Thanks to Guy Dupre, Jaguar fanatic extraordinaire, we'll be certain
to have an 8 Jag network for the Fest, with 8 copies of AirCars, as
long as ICD delivers before August 1st ;-). In fact, if enough other
people bring Jags, we'll be able to have 2 8-Jag setups running
simultaneously! I wonder what the record is?
But, we'll still need TV's for every Jag, and that's where you come
in. Bring a few, at least one for each Jag you bring, and an extra if
possible. The more the merrier! If you decide to bring a monitor, make
sure it is one that is CatBox compatible, such as the Atari
SC1224/1435, or has composite inputs like the Commodore 1702. Here's a
list of Analog RGB monitors which work with the CatBox:
     Atari SC1224 
     Atari SC1435
     Magnavox
     CBM 1084D
     Magnavox
     CBM 1084S
     Magnavox
     Commodore 1950
     Magnavox Pro RGB 80
     NEC Multisync Color
     NEC 3D
     Sony 1302
     Princeton Graphics Ultra
If you have questions, please e-mail me at KevinManne@wycol.com.
Guy has also agreed to bring his Scuba virtual-reality helmet
(designed from the never-released JagVR),and even to make some Jaguar
t-shirt transfers if he has the time/capability. Go Guy!
 ///Dentec Agrees
Looking to buy Jaguar games at the Fest? Well you'll have no problem
doing so since Dentec, a Canadian-based company, has agreed to attend
and sell their large selection of Jaguar games at the Fest. For more
info, check out their page at They have great prices on even hard to
find games like Atari Karts, and may even start carrying the new
Telegames titles! Score another for the JagFest!
 ///Shareware Gets Cheaper
Scott Walters, of BJL modification fame will be attending JagFest 98,
and with him will come some BJL Jaguars at a special JagFest-only
price of $99.  So, for everyone who was a bit weary of buying a
modified Jag, you can come check out all the games at the JagFest, and
then pick one up right there on the spot for a lower-than-ever price!
 ///Definite Date Set
Just in case you hadn't checked the JagFest homepage since the last
update, the date for JagFest '98 has been officially set for August 1,
1998. Be sure to mark your calendar....
 ///Take My Games...Please!
I'm working on getting some Jaguar games and accessories together to
give out as door prizes, and for winners of competitions. I only have
a few things so far (T-shirts, a Team Tap...), so if you'd like to
contribute anything, please contact me (Kevin), and I'll put your name
up in lights on the JagFest page :-).
... What a stupid scroll! It just says "Hastur, Hastur, Hastur."
