Bought Cybermorph for the Jaguar, wrong game on cartridge

[UltraMagnus]

Anyone help me out here.

I bought a load of Jag games and one of them was cybermorph, but when I put the game in its actually Dragon the bruce lee story.

anyone had this happrn to them before.

Haha nice, sounds like somebody just messing with there carts, Cybermorph was the packin game 90% of the time, so doubt they would have given you Dragon instead.

Should get out my Jag again, that joypad is quite something, always fancied picking up a couple more games for it, only purchased it original for Tempest 2000.

you got a better game out of dragon, cybermorph was alright bit nothing special. Wiz if you haven't, play Trevor mc fur - very solid side scrolling shooter. I remember the graphics were excellent, but memory may be lying to me.

Wow I've never heard that before, but gotta agree with Ewjim, you've got a better game as a result. Cybermorph's sequel Battlemorph is much better but you can only get it for the Jaguar CD!

I'm needing to get some more games for my Jag; luckily there's a fantastic homebrew scene so there's new games being released for the system to this day! Doom on the Jag is fantastic but it lacks the music soundtrack, Power Drive Rally is a great wee top down racer and there's a couple of good platformers for the system too.

But yeah check out the homebrew scene for some more quality titles, some can be bought in the UK from here:

I will have a little look at that.

Not really a Jag fan TBH but I got a deal I could not refuse. Boxed Consoles with 5 boxed games, 6 loose games. sealed boxed extra controller, selade boxed multiplayer adaptor and an official Jaguar SCART lead all for £60.

The Cybermorph/Dragon cartridge puzzles me though as the Cybermorph label is in good condition and does not look like it has been tampered with at all.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Jag in the world either but it's a good console if you find the right games for it. MInd you I suppose you could say that of any console haha!

Sounds bizarre how the label on the cartridge doesn't match, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a misprint at the Jag cartridge factory and the wrong game got put on. Odd gaming stories like that pop up every once in a while and always make for good reading! You got a fab deal there mind, what games did you get with the Jag?

Nicely done! Avoid Kasumi Ninja though, it's so bad you might actually give up on gaming

[Horsey]

Kasumi ninja does feature a rather fine stereotype of a scotsman tho. Just in case anybody was wondering, we do all shoot flaming balls from under our kilts

Of course it goes without saying you have to play Alien vs Predator on the jag. I thought syndicate and cannon fodder were pretty good conversions since you had all those phone number buttons to use on the controller.

That was a pretty sweet deal you got. Where did you get it from?

[UltraMagnus]

Looks like it was originally a Cybermorph game.

Got talking to someone and he reckons that back in the day certain places ( for a fee ) would wipe the cartridge and put another one of your choice on there and he reckons that someone at some point must have done that.

Can anyone confirm this.

[CD-i]

No, that is not possible, since the jag carts are no flash carts. They use standart EPROMs for the games. so to switch the games, you have to open up the cart, desolder 1-4 Chips holding the game, flash another EPROM with an EPROM writer and solder them to the cart. Thats no easy job. so I doubt any shop offered this. This is more work then buy the game new...

Thanks for clearing that up. I had my doubts but dont like to say someones talking rubbish unless I am sure. He was pretty adamant as well.
