I hope you are all happy, safe & healthy whatever challenges you are facing right now.

Apologies for the delay in my Jagvent Calendar uploads - had some stuff going on so couldn't make videos. I'll aim to catch up over the next few days hence multiple uploads here :-)

Fans of my channel may remember I did a GameBoy Advent Countdown last year - a different mystery game each day of December. I thought I'd do something similar this year for the much maligned Atari Jaguar. So this is Day 10 of my Jagvent Calendar :-)

First some credit though - I used a snippet of Kevin Macleod's version of Jingle Bells to set the tone at the start of the video details below:

The Atari Jaguar gets a lot of stick but I got mine back in the mid 90's purely for Tempest 2000 & the port of Doom & then picked up cheap games after that. To be fair I actually got my Jaguar by trading a few PAL Saturn games I had Japanese versions of (I got my Jag CD as part payment for clearing my bosses spare room - pro rata probably the most I've been paid for a single days work :) - so I didn't pay for either console in real terms

I won't reveal the game in the Title until the next day but in the Description.......well that's a different matter. Does anyone other than me actually read them?

This is Troy Aikman NFL Football. It's an American Football game - or Gridiron if you like! It is a pretty solid & enjoyable sports title for the system. Looking and playing similarly to many NFL games on the 16 bit systems - in fact I believe the same game was also released on the SNES - this is still a good game & fun to play.

Nice graphics & clear speech make this atmospheric & the gameplay is pretty solid too. While hardly a system seller or system pusher this is still a good addition to the Jaguar's game library even if it fails to dethrone the Madden games on the Megadrive / Genesis

This is my original PAL copy from back in the day played on my Jaguar console through S-Video (I have the official RGB Scart cable somewhere) through a Retrotink 5X for ease of capture.

I'm slowly digging out my Jaguar carts although there is a box of them somewhere in the loft that I'm yet to find so it may be touch and go if we make it to 24 on the countdown as I think I only have 26 cart games (I have most the CD library but I need to replace the laser on my CD unit as it wasn't functioning when I checked it at the weekend :(

As always if you enjoy this video let me know. As always this is running on original hardware. Also let me know if there are particular games or systems you'd like to see.

As always this is uploaded under the Fair Use Policy - no money is being made from this video.
