Pros: For a small amount of money you can build up a collection of impressive games. Cons: Read lots of reviews; many carts are good but some are stinkers.
A few months ago I picked up an Atari Jaguar with 9 games and two controllers (plus all cables, etc.) off EBAY for $100 US. Since then I've bought an additional dozen carts.
This system is really an under-appreciated gem. When compared to...
Pros: Good games w/ replay value Cons: not up to par w/ the systems of today
The Atari Jaguar stumbled out the door of Atari with a limited release on the East and West Coasts only at first. The system came with a pak-in game Cybermorph which was pretty impressive at the time as the polygon phase was just gearing up. ...
Pros: CD based, 64 bit, smokin' graphics Cons: no games
Atari was the company responsible for at home gaming. First there was Pong, then the Atari 2600, the first truly great game console system. For years Atari ruled the home gaming market. Then, somehow they were overtaken by Nintendo and Sega, and...
Pros: Good games e.g: AvP, Doom (Best version!) Cons: Some very poor games, lack of support from Atari
The jaguar is what Atari were good at, it is a powerful console which has some very very good software for it, Tempest 2000, Doom, AvP, Sensible Soccer, Highlander, Black ice - White Noise, Robinsons Requem, Zero - 5, Theme Park, Flashback, Rayman,...
Pros: Retro charm, some really great games, and is cheap. Cons: Bad design, a polygonal nightmare, and too many really bad games.
The Jaguar was released in limited markets for Christmas of 1993 and has enjoyed only a limited success since. Hitting the market at roughly the same time as the 3DO, it quickly became the second choice of gamers eager to jump up to the next level, ...
Yes, I actually have a Jaguar. I don't have the CD player though.
I bought it from a close-out place with 6 games for $60.
It honestly wasn't much of a good deal.
Playing the games, it seems apparent that Atari wanted to get into...
Pros: Alien Vs Predator, Lots of Novel & Unique Games Cons: Poor Marketing & Bad Game Developers
In 1993 there was a few choices to own in the video game world, Nes 8 bit system - which was on it's last stand, & couldn't keep up with the better graphic systems. Genesis had lots of add-ons to enhance the system (Not For the Better), like...
Pros: Some very fun games, including Alien Vs. Predator, Rayman, NBA Jam TE, Primal Rage, Power Drive Rally, Battlesphere, and a few others. Cons: A much greater number of cruddy games or 16-bit titles which don't remotely push the system.
I bought a Jaguar the week that Rayman, the CD-ROM and the PSX came out. I've enjoyed Atari systems all along and I enjoy the Jaguar too. But I have to say that it isn't a system for everyone.
Pros: Nostalgia, inexpensive games, lively community of fans. Cons: Trickle of current software support, more potential than substance.
Well, Atari, it was fun while it lasted.
Back in 1993, Atari's hopes were pinned onto the Jaguar, which looked incredible on paper. When reality set in, though, and 3rd party support was hard to come by, the Jaguar died a slow and ugly...
Pros: Some games... Cons: Atari's lack of support, graphics and sound are medium quality...
Once again Atari has succeeded in making a new-released system go down in the market as deep as possible. Like the Lynx, the Jaguar had no Ataris support and died due to premature death (which means Ataris HUGE ineffectiveness in promoting the...
Pros: Great specs for a "classic" system Cons: Limited game selection; hard to get rid of in today's market
I originally posted a review of the Atari Jaguar back in March. I decided, however, that it was horrible. So, I'm taking another shot at it. Updated on 2/14 Owning an Atari Jaguar is a frustrating thing. Why? This machine had ...
Pros: Most games feature build in save features for high scores. Some good games. Cons: "This is a 64-bit system? Can't be? It sucks!"
ATARI'S JAGUAR (October 1993-1995) Yup! It's true! This is the first 64-bit system ever, the Atari Jaguar. Too bad it had just over 50 games released for it and this thing is basically just a poor man's Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis ...
Pros: First 64 bit system, neat controller Cons: Not up to par with other 64 bit systems
The Atari Jaguar is the last system released by the company who brought the world video games with the widespread popularity of their 2600 system. They weren't the first, but they were the best, at one time.
