... system. It didn't get the support from atari that it deserved. The One I purchased from Ebay was in near mint condition and i paid a fair price of £25, and as working versions of these machines are becoming quite rare I was prepared to pay quite a bit more. The console hasan unusual shape and was something of a novelty when it was released. The control pad could have better designed, after around an hours playing i'd start to get cramp in both hands and the d-pad was a little stiff and noisy. When running, the console...more

I owned a jaguar from New in the 90's, but recently re-visited the Jag as I bought one second hand from Ebay as my original one was sold at a boot sale years before. Despite what many people say, The Jaguar really is a good console. lt's such a shame it didn't do as well as other consoles of the time, and I think this was mainly to do with the lack of games that were made for the system.

Yup, it's true! This is the first 64-bit gaming system ever; the Atari Jaguar. This console promised a whole new world of better graphics, cutting edge sound, and faster speed for more intense game play to prove to the world that Atari is back and better then ever. Too bad it had just under a measely 60 games released for it and this thing is basically just a poor man's Super Nintendo and Mega Drive (both 16-bit systems by the way!) anyway. See why this Jaguar was put to sleep. The Jaguar was first introduced in 1993 for decent $249.99 Canadian (compared that to the rival 3DO's $999.99 Canadian price) and it came packaged with the 3D game Cybermorph: a really ...

I got this machine when it first came out expecting something so amazing it would blow my mind.I was so wrong.It was a nasty machine big and bulky with the most awful controllers ever seen in the gaming world(you even had to put a cover on the buttons to see what they were all for for most games).The only good game was aliens vs predator but even that was so bad it sent me into a fit. The machine was never a 64bit machine as it never once looked better than the ps1.The games for the jag were few and far between.When a game would come out,it was rubbish.The games were also way over priced with top games costing £70 back in the day. Im so glad this ... Read the complete review
