Super Burnout - Atari Jaguar - Review 

Brilliantly, was waiting for this review since the launch!

This a great game! I got mine in a trade. It came complete and almost brand new . Good analysis.

I have a very extensive Jaguar collection, and of course there is the excellent new emulator 'BigPEmu', which can run this ROM almost perfectly. Super Burnout is a great game, and a real gem in the Atari Jaguar repertoire. I'm surprised it doesn't get as much praise as games like Tempest 2000, or Alien vs Predator.

Maybe the 3DO version runs poorly using emulation, but it runs great on actual hardware. It's a game that I own. I also own Super Burnout CIB. Like you said, it runs buttery smooth. Many homebrews use Tom & Jerry, while many others are homebrew ports of Atari ST and Amiga games. Piko Interactive have begun publishing such ports. While the ST is 16-bit, the Amiga is 32-bit. It's possible to port such games to the Jaguar without Tom & Jerry (although easier with) by using the Jaguar's Motorola 68000 driving the 32-bit data in two 16-bit bursts. The original Amiga 500 implements a 32-bit model and has 32-bit registers, but it has a 16-bit main ALU and uses a 16-bit external data bus and a 23-bit address bus. It, like the Atari ST, used the Motorola 68000 as it's main processor. Later Amigas used the Motorola 68EC020 which was operated as a full 32-bit processor, but it's compatible with the 68000. AtariAge and Songbird Productions sell these ports as well.

The 3DO game runs poorly? No it doesn't.
