Granted I gave the award... oh well
IMPLANTgames Retro Gaming Awards 2010Biggest Surprise
Winner: Super Burnout (JAG)
The Atari Jaguar is one of the industry’s worst flops. Despite being in the market for 2 and a half years, it only managed to sell around 225,000 units, and 100 thousand of those were after Atari folded. It’s not surprising either, as the Jaguar library does not consist of a lot of strong titles. Therefore when I popped in Super Burnout, I wasn’t expecting much. But damn, what a game! The graphics are mind blowing, the 60 FPS and smooth sprite scaling offer a graphical experience not seen outside the arcades. The controls are superb, the soundtrack is outstanding, and the game has all of the modes you need in a racing game. Super Burnout is a stand out title, and should be mentioned among the likes of Alien Vs. Predator and Tempest 2000. It’s that good.
