I played it. It wasn't particually good or memorable except for adding latesha and funkfu or whatever it was.

All 3 original games should be re-released on Steam, with multiplayer support. The original game is just one of my all time favourites. I'm really hopeful the new game will be good, but I can't help thinking the art style just looks a little out of place. I would go so far as to say the original first game actually looks better ! But I will reserve judgement until I have played it, just first impressions. Agree with the OP, would love to see all the originals remastered or just released with multiplayer support.

for whatever reason i was previously avoiding saying this, but oh well, ♥♥♥♥ it:

just google xbox emulator and play it yourself, it's not hard and the software works just about perfectly on PC, xbox emulation is one of the most perfected ones out there, by far.

that's what i did to play the third one many years ago.

xbox emulator doesn't work on 64-bit systems

64-bit is compatible with 32 bit applications as well, however, it just will be limited to 4GB of ram due to being 32 bit.
i honestly don't think there are any 64 bit emulators around to be entirely honest.

no, I literally could not run the emulator, it's not because of the 32 bit application, but the emulated architecture of the original XBOX system. Even if the emulator was 64-bit it would have to bypass the FS instruction like in this example:
"Many of us here know that for CxBx/DxBx to run on a 64bit OS we need to get rid of the FS segment and use an alternative. Well I've been trying to kinda search and replace the instructions where FS is used and I've had a bit of success. Just a bit. Why? Because the FS points to the data structure where the thread's information is stored. Turok uses at least 3 threads so if I just replace the insturctions where FS is used with a static value it won't work. So I was thinking of replacing those instructions with others that get the correct values from other places in memory, without using the FS register. I know there's a guy that managed to get this working, but I really need to discuss this with anyone that has some knowledge of the inner workings of CxBx/DxBx"

So on Windows 7 32-bit the emulator(s) will open and run ISOs. On Windows 7/8/10 64-bit, it will open and when you try to run ISOs will do nothing, get an error, or crash. The program runs, but the games don't load.

Im down with this. I remember playing the xbox ( original ) demo a long time ago and thought it was a lot of fun. Sega released a bunch of quality title for the original XBOX ( some better than others obviously ) T and E 3, Crazy Taxi 3, Gun Valkryie, Panzer Dragoon Orta ( needs a remaster ), Otogi 1 and 2 ( also needs a remaster ), couple of really good outrun games, and Sega GT all pretty decent games.

"Oh wow, it's really different than the other games, that automatically makes it awful!" Tbh people are overexaggerating how bad it is. It's really good, and much MUCH better than your average game.

That would be up to Sega as they own the publishing rights to the first 3 games. Considering they released the first game in 2011 and second in 2012 on Steam the only way I see them releasing a port of the third game is if this game does really well and Sega wants to capitalize on it's success. I bet the first 2 games are easier to port from Genesis emulation rather than OG Xbox. The return on investment has to be deemed worth it.

Xboxs are really cheap. it's not like you "CAN'T" play it if you really wanted to "THAT" badly. Just saying.

I was thinking about it, and idk if any of you played Fortnite. It's in EA still, it reminds me a bit of TJ&E, it's third person but it's also a shooter, the thing is though the levels are a lot like TJ&E in that they are all bits of earth floating in the sky, presents drop, you can even bounce on tires and whatnot kind of like the fungus from Panic on Funkotron.

Anyways, i was thinking it would be amazing to have a TJ&E similar to that structure, 4 player co-op, everyone looks for the materials they need to reconstruct the ship to move to the next level. The enemy variety alone would make it interesting. Though in that game you fight waves of "husks" aka zombies and build forts with traps to defend and all that jazz, but i think a formula exists that's unique to the oldschool TJ&E experience if they try.

I just think it's a shame TJ&E3 didn't do so hot and a 3d third person TJ&E will probably never come to pass. But there is potential for a great game like that, i know it!

Buy on OG Xbox on Ebay, they're like 50 bucks.

[Spat856]

That would most likely be up to Sega to decide if they felt like porting that game.

I absolutely loved 3 ! That music was so funky! I'd play the s**t out of it, if re-released on PC. What a classic.
