Atari Jaguar: One Amazing system

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 22:17:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author polskalancer - The Processing power behind the Jaguar was impressive for its time. Two 64 bit RISC processors, one 32 bit processor, and a 16 bit proc. thrown in to manage side items. One big problem with many of the games is that the developer's used the 16 bit...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dogeymon - 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,...

Atari Jaguar: The first 64-bit system ever...... just not a very good one

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 12:52:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author StarSoldier1 - 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...

Atari Jaguar: Tons of untapped potential

Sat, 17 Nov 2001 02:26:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author HawgWyld - 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...

Atari Jaguar: Atari's last stand

Tue, 17 Jul 2001 16:28:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rukivverh - 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...

Atari Jaguar: I'd Like To Smash This Thing Into 64 Bits

Wed, 13 Jun 2001 11:07:20 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Goldentoe - Everyone knows who Atari is, remember them, they were the ones who made little children pester their parents into getting one of those newfangled machines that play games on the TV. You (if you're near my age) probably have at least a few memories of...

Atari Jaguar: Atari's swan song...

Thu, 17 May 2001 14:16:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jag2112 - Since the days of the Atari 2600 (VCS), I have been an avid fan of Atari. Anyone who has followed their history knows how painful that can be.

I've owned just about every product made by the now-defunct Atari Corporation including the...

Atari Jaguar: The first "next gen" video game system

Fri, 9 Feb 2001 22:19:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brclarke - 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...

Atari Jaguar: Commercial Bomb...Still, Had Some Of The Best Games

Mon, 1 Jan 2001 14:57:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author 5979 - 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...

Atari Jaguar: I like it but it isn't for everyone

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 15:23:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Dracmania - 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.

Like the Atari 7800, there's a lot of...

Atari Jaguar: 3D Killed The Jaguar

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 20:13:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aindovin - 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...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nathantyree - 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...

Thu, 31 Aug 2000 15:50:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tadow - 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.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author phungus - 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.

The Jaguar is billed as a 64 bit...
