That's a shame. How about the Tempest game? I believe that started off on
the Jaguar and various versions (e.g. Tempest 2000) were released several
years later.

Not to mention that damn controller, who needs 30 odd buttons on a
controller! Todays controllers have about 8 buttons, plus a d-pad and 2
analogue sticks.
Jag controller had a d-pad, three action buttons, and 12 "numeric"
buttons for a total of 16 core elements. PS3 controller has two sticks,
a dpad, four buttons action buttons, four shoulder buttons, a "click"
rocker on each stick, and tilt/orientation sensing for a total of 15
core elements -- seems like the PS3 controller caught up to the jag
controller...

I didn't. I was so depressed by the entire affair that I sold
everything Jag-related I had 4 years ago for $40 total at a local
computer game expo.
