You know, Atari Karts was a kinda interesting game for this console. Problem is, the game mechanics are kinda crude. It's like a botched mario kart clone (as most popular mario kart clones tend to be anyway).
Checkered Flag was interesting til I saw reviews and also tried it in the emulator. I won't say it is almost impossible to play but if you play it for a few minutes it feels like it is.
Aliens vs Predator was always the most hyped up game for this console back throughout the late 1990s and early 2000's and possibly to this day. Problem is, the game is stale and lackluster as a title.
Club Drive I shouldn't go there. Box art, game name, etc is kinda neat but the game just plain sucks.
I think that the Jaguar is an interesting piece of retro gaming history but seriously, why try to build a console with old fashioned stuff like a number pad (weren't we done with this, say from video game market crash ColecoVision which I do like, actually oddly enough the Coleco has a better game library than this console haha but I guess that goes without saying because it uses the tried and true Z80 which is also in your GameBoy [everdrive gameboy fans] and it is also the processor that gives you sound in the Sega Genesis / Megadrive [mega everdrive fans].)
I guess I should mention one more game, Tempest 2000. While I think this game is quite lame after a couple minutes, a lot of people like it and also swear by the sound track. There is a PC port of it so if you think you need a Jaguar just for a fix of this game, well you don't. But as far as I recall the PC port I played did not have music. Possibly it originally came with CDDA. Anyway, I think the Jaguar version probably had music as well as included a pack in audio disc with the music tracks on it or something.
I just looked up top 10 Jaguar games and noticed Protector SE which for some reason I never heard of. It looks nice in the screen shot but we have drop zone for snes anyways as well as a bunch of Defender games on various systems.
Less than 10 mentionable games, lack of interest from people who actually will put forward cash and purchase a flash cart for this system.
Seriously, KRIKzz would have an easier time developing and selling a flash cart for a more popular system such as of course GBA (why? we already have plenty kits for this system lol), NeoGeo Pocket Color (higher attachment rate, very affordable hardware, and it would be the only flash cart for this console that supports removable storage SD), and well there are those that want Atari 2600 flash cart but why? someone already makes it. You can't expect that if KRIKzz makes a new 2600 flash cart that it is going to necessarily be any less expensive than the current offering. What else have I missed here... I can't really think of anything else.
The biggest problem we have with anyone offering an Atari Jaguar flash cart is that a lot of people will express interest but a very small percentage of those people (I'm thinking 1-10%) will actually purchase it. The rest of these guys (like me) have never even owned, let alone used a Jaguar in real life and plus are not planning to ever purchase one.

Thanks a lot Redguy for your hard work and getting Doom to work perfectly as well. It's very fortunate that you shared this with us even before some of the bugs were fixed. You are awesome man.
