Hey! First, if you are interested in picking up Kobayashi Maru for the Atari Jaguar CD, here's the place:
www.rgcd.co.uk/...
Tons of other awesome homebrews there as well, especially if you are into the Commodore 64.
And if you are interested in seeing what the developer, Reboot, is up to, check them out here:

Now on to the game!
This is Kobayashi Maru, for the Atari Jaguar. I suppose technically it is Kobayashi Maru: Final, but the cover art and DVD case spine omit the "Final" part. This game has been available for a while as a download, but this is the final version, available on CD. An actual replicated CD, not a CD-R. Awesome!
Kobayashi Maru is heavily inspired by Time Pilot. A couple things missing from that Konami arcade classic are ships that attack in formation, and ships that can fire homing missiles at you. These for some reason are not big omissions. To me, anyway. Well...actually, the little formation attacks were cool, I wouldn't mind having them, but I never really was worried about the lack of homing missiles.
This game is basically shoot shoot shoot until you are out of lives. The graphics are mainly small cute sprites, except the motherships that are larger. They really feel like a boss ship, and are really great looking.
I dunno what to say. I always just go on and on in these descriptions. There's also a part like this, where I talk about how much I am typing. Oh, I am so predictable.
Anyway, you can watch the video and check the game out. It's fun. I am enjoying it quite a bit. I hope to enjoy it in the future. I love new games for the Jaguar. Assuming they are good. And I think this one is.
