Trevor McFur was originally developed for the Atari Panther, the proposed 32-bit predecessor to the Jaguar which never made it past prototype stage. It has been rumored that Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy was a prototype itself, a test. This is mainly due to the fact that Trevor McFur was developed by Flare2, a branch/subcompany of Flare Technologies, the company that developed the Atari Jaguar system. Upon release, the game was heavily criticised for being rushed. The Atari Jaguar platform didnapos;t help Trevor McFur win any popularity contests either. The Jaguar was a system with such bold claims and in your face advertising that when a mediocre 2D shooter was released, it was instantly panned. As far as Atari Jaguar games are concerned, Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy is fun, easily accessible and easy to come back and revisit. It might not look as advanced as Cybermorph with its polygons, but overall Iapos;d definitely say its aged better; crisp bright graphics and real quirkiness that made so many other Jaguar games memorable (Attack of Mutant Penguins, Dino Dudes). Itapos;s quirkiness is itapos;s most redeeming feature but also makes the game feel cheap and tacky. I canapos;t think of any other game that lets you zap robot cupids with crossbows but donapos;t expect this game to blow you away. No two-player mode will be a deal-breaker for some but if youapos;re a shooter fan who somehow ended up with a Jaguar, Iapos;m sure youapos;ve already got a copy of Raiden and if not, then Iapos;d recommend picking that up first.
