    I can emulate anything it does better these days. I have a $700 custom hardmodded OG xbox though just because you can't emulate it outside a select few games making me need one by default just to play games like Doom 3 and Doom 3 ROE's console port and both Mechassault games which now work online again with xbox live/insignia.

    I think the reason the GameCube was a commercial flop was because it lacked the broad appeal of the PS2. It's a decent console if you're a fan of Nintendo but otherwise it has little to offer

    The way I look at it. The GameCube had everything to succeed. It had the games. It had the power (it was more powerful than a PS2) but they failed to show that with poor marketing. Like the GameCube commercials were just so weird and honestly still just kinda haunt me to this day. Plus the GameCube felt weaker than the PS2 as it didn’t use an actual CD. So the games ended up being smaller scale or had more limitations than the PS2s version of the same games.

    As an old timer I can give a little insight as to why it failed commercially. Back then most people were all about the best graphics and mature games like Max Payne and GTA. Not having those games, having a weird handle and being purple instantly marked it in the eyes of many gamers as the “kiddie console”. I was in high school and people got clowned hard for having a Gamecube. PS2 and Xbox were considered “real consoles”. Also not having a Mario game at launch hurt it.

    I feel like the GameCube was a special time for Nintendo's development. N64 games are great, but you can really feel that Nintendo is still getting the hang of making 3d spaces fun to navigate -- camera controls especially. GameCube games feel pretty modern in this regard, while still having the quirkiness of the previous gen

    Around the time I graduated high school, a friend bought the Jaguar and most of the games at K-Bee toys for like 96% off. She spent $90 for 5 grocery bags filled with Jaguar stuff. Let's be honest. It was bad. Really, really bad. Most of the games look & play like they were made in Poland and the controller was almost the size of the console. What were they thinking!? Still fun after a few beers but I do remember puking because one of the games gave me motion sickness, probably that monstrosity at 4:50. 🤢🤮

    This very first JP game makes a lot more sense when you consider it's actually in large part based on the JP novel, not the movie. The rafting section ending with a confrontation with the T-Rex, and especially level 4 where you have to find explosives in the maintenance shed to plant in the raptor nests on the southern part of the island, are all elements based on similar events from the novel. Even the bazooka that Alan uses is a weapon that features prominently in the novel but never makes an appearance in the movie.

    TG-16 is popular now for the same reason Sega Saturn and Dreamcast are more popular with retro collectors than with consumers at the time. The sort of game retro people like tends to be quirky and nerd focused. The games that sold the Sega Genesis to the mass market were sports games. If you want to play a sports game now, you get the latest Madden. But if you want to play a quirky shooter, TG-16 is where it's at.
