Any Nuon People Here

[Wobedraggled]

Just wondering if there are any Nuon fans around.

I'm not Nuon, but I'm Jaguar, and there are a lot of Nuon fans in that community.

Nuon was an ill fated system that was basically a chip inside a dvd player. There was a handful of games for it.

Most notably Jeff minter's Tempest 3000.

There is plenty of homebrew for it, and i figured people into the gp32/gp2x would be into it as well.

I sold my Jag when the prices went up to $80 and bought a new one when they came down to $50. Only, this time I actually had a job and could afford the CD unit.

I had a nuon. I did the nuon-dome thing, downloading some decent homebrew games. Bought most of the commercial games, like Merlin Racing and such.

Not a great system, could have been. The developers sdk was and is poor, you can only use 2 of the four cores reliably, from what I understand.

Also, was a bummer that Bust a Move was created, but never sold. The nuon-dome site owner had a beta copy he showed off.

Merlin Racing was the only decent commercial game for it, as the tempest remake was hard for most people to get into, and there was also a slow doom port.

There's a doom port for EVERYTHING...

including IPods, and (what later was revealed as a hoax) ATART 2600!
