The worlds first 64bit video game system console. Released 1993. Very unsuccessful dispite stylish black and red appearnce and 64bit
power. Atari's final console and just as successful as the previous two(5200 & 7800). Made in the USA... Insert
joke here. Atari Jaguar had less than
60 cartridge games made for it from 1993-1996 when atari pulled the plug.
Atari Jaguar sufferd from horrible and
pathetic first party support and almost no third party support. Shame too. The Jaguar had the power to be a contender but failed for he reasons above.

Sega

DO-THE-MATH!

This system might have been pretty good and desireable if Atari hadn't screamed to the world through its
poor and obnoxious marketing that it was "64bit".... considering that most of the games for the Atari Jaguar had graphics that were identical to what was found on 16bit systems at the
time. A few games had graphics simular to what was found on 32bit systems, such as
DOOM.
Most desired games:
Doom, Alien vs Predator, Iron soldier
1 & 2, tempest 2000, Atari Karts, Wolfenstien 3-d, maybe a couple of more at best, maybe not...
Worst games: everything released for the Jaguar not listed above. The game "White men can't
Jump" is said by many to be the worst game in existance! Possibly Even worse than ET for the 2600. "Checkerd Flag" is a pretty
bad and a god awful game as well(Virtua Racing wannabe).
