I do. Or at least, I will if I ever find any games for it. Only have tempest 2k so far. ;)

I've got about 20 games, and three consoles (2 w/BJL mod). I bought almost all of my stuff retail when KB and others had the Jag on clearance.
I usually pick up games when I come across them cheap, but I no longer go out of my way to find them. Also I'm not that into the newer titles. I had and sold the original release of battlesphere, and despite playing protector SE at Philly last year, I have reisted the urge to buy a copy. The only game I still have interest in getting is AvP.

I've got all the original games, carts and CD's. I'm missing a few of the later Songbird titles.

Even SnoogityBoogity 2000: Special Edition?

Same here. I can't bring myself to buy any more old Amiga ports.

I sold off my collection because I just never played it, I have about 5 complete games left if anyone is interested.
I still have a Sealed BattleSphere GOLD

I've got nearly every game released for the system. I don't have IS2:cartridge, and I don't have BS:Gold or anything since (the Demolition Man demo, the Brett Hull Hockey, or any of the other games that weren't really completed, but were released last year anyway). And while I have 2 copies of Braindead 13, neither gets past a fairly early screen. Which isn't much of a loss, considering I never liked Laserdisc-based games anyway.
I do have the original BattleSphere (x2), all of the Songbird titles, as well as a Jaglink (x2), 3 consoles (planned on BJL'ing 2 of them and haven't gotten to it), 2 CD-Drives, & 2 Jugs.
I'd like the new Scatobox, but can't afford one and don't think there will be any left once I can. I'll probably talk myself into buying a couple of Jaglink 2s within the next week or two, assuming they are still available.
My most prized Jag item though would be the Rotary Controller I made for Tempest 2k. I went all-out, despite my lamentable lack of construction skills, and included Up & Down buttons (for the Warp levels), a keypad, and A, B, & C buttons for both righties & lefties, as well as Start & Option buttons.

I'm a Jag Fan, although there were a lot of Amiga Ports (Pinball Fantasies, Cannon Fodder, etc) Which I already have for Amiga!
I have one and have some funkier stuff like Battlesphere Gold, Skyhammer, and the Spacewar demo...
I count 14 games in my collection
But it's hard to want to collect for it, since many of the games just aren't that good
Iron Soldier and Tempest 2K are great though...
Cheers,

This is one of those systems I have that I don't put a lot of effort into collecting for some reason, even though I like it a lot. I only have four games total for it so far, Attack of the Mutant Penguins being my "pride and joy" since I snagged it at a nice price in the box, original instructions and paperwork, and in the original plastic wrap. :-D But when I don't have to save so much money for other things, I can start collecting again full time. I hope.

I have 11 games for mine, but two of them don't work (Club Drive and Trevor McFur, no big loss I know, but I hate having games that don't work).
My favorite 3 games I own are Tempest 2000, Flip Out, and Zool 2. I really need to start collecting more for it...of course, it would help if anywhere around here had games to sell :hmm:
I got the Jag, CD-ROM, 24 carts & Memory Track, 12 CDs. Nothing rare or boxed. Just got a composite A/V cable for it off eBay- DEFINITE improvement over RF.
wish i had more, but prices keep on rocketing

Look here for expensive Jag titles:

I've got a system with one controller and S-video cable, and 8 games. Some guy I used to work with asked me to auction off Tempest 2000 and Alien vs. Predator for him on eBay because he needed the money, but he quit before I ever listed them and I haven't heard from him again. :-D I also have a couple of Japanese SNES games (Sexy Parodius and something else) and an adapter plus the Final Fantasy Tactics soundtrack that I borrowed from him.

I've got one with 3 controllers the Memory Track and about 20 games including Alien VS Predator, Attack of the Mutant Penguins and Defender 2000. I've also got some of the CD games but no Jag CD.
I don't actively search for games for it. I will buy them if I find them and have bought a few from ebay.

You could say I collect for it but I never really find anything to buy at a reasonable price. I have three games, none of which have me coming back to play them (Raiden, Bruce Lee, Cybermorph).
The one place I've found in the wild wants $70 (CAD) for Tempest 2000. No thanks - if I'm going to spend $70 on a game it'll be on a game like Wind Waker ...

I'm not a big collector, but I collect all consoles nes and later. I usually just collect the games I actually like or play. I don't care about rarity or anything unless I just happen to find it for cheap in the wild. I have a complete jaguar boxed and jaguar cd boxed. The only CD games I have are Dragon's Lair and Space Ace that I got for a few bucks each. The only games I really wanted were Tempest and AvP, but I lucked up one day when one of the guys in an IRC chatroom I hang out in noticed me talking about collecting consoles. He told me his mom use to work for atari and got all this jaguar stuff free and if I wanted it he would send it to me. I wasn't going to turn that down, hell I didn't even have to pay for shipping. I was surprised when it got here and he sent me 20 carts including AvP and Tempest 2000, and also to my surprise he sent me an Atari Catbox. Pretty nice find for free. He is supposed to be sending me both style Atari Lynx and about 50 carts for it. I can't wait.

The only Jag related things I own right now is an empty Baldiers Jag CD box and a Jaguar Game Guide. I really need to get one back soon, so I can play all my favorites (AvP, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Zool 2 (Chupa Chups!), and of course, Kasumi Ninja).

Yep - I have a complete set, including both versions of BattleSphere!
Finally, I get to brag on the DP board!

I've got a complete boxed Jag collection with the exception of Space Ace and Braindead 13 (those boxes are impossible to find). I even have some of the harder to find items like a Jag Modem (with headset), Speedster II and Skycopter (different then the ones out there), IS2 Cart and CD, Battlesphere and Battlesphere Gold, etc. About the only major item I'm missing is a Catbox (although I have a Scatbox Deluxe on the way).
What's this about Brett Hull Hockey? I didn't think anyone had released that (due to legal problems form the NHL).
