Here are two new Atari Jaguar homebrew reviews! Let me know if I was fair.

Awesome - been looking forward to these, especially Fast Food!
Ants looked terrible in the screen shots, so I didn't have much hope for it - so the bad score doesn't surprise me. Interesting backstory - I hear that one homebrew programmer made that game, just screwing around. It was never intended to be a finished product. Then another guy (the one who ultimately published it) asked if he could have it and work on polishing up the game, so the other guy allowed him to take over the project. Well, he basically just made minimal updates at best and then released it as a finished product for sale. People were not too happy, and have bashed the guy pretty heavily (for stealing the game for profit and for releasing a trash product).
Fast Food 64 looks like a more interesting product. It came out on cartridge too. I'm interested to try it out some day, especially since I'm a fan of the 2600 version. Glad you found some merit in the game.

I'm starting to wonder if in my desire to kill those ants I may have been pressing the button harder than necessary, to the detriment of my thumb.

thanks for the review, two atrocious looking games for the jag. I know they are home brews but they should be fun. I have to say I thought that ants looked fun and it is a shame to hear that it is not.
Fast food it is looks fun but i like the 2600 game and think that it looks better than the jag version.
