Poor Atari: Failures to the very end.

by dogeymon , Jan 10 '05
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, ...

J-Day and Beyond. Video Gaming's Version of Operation: Market Garden

by cerberus435 , Jan 10 '03
Pros: 64-Bits, the most bits for its time; $500 less than the competition.
Cons: Too many Third Party software companies were laughing at it.

November 4, 1993

Atari's last option...no good results...

by argreviewer , Oct 22 '02
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 Atari’s support and died due to premature death (which means Atari’s HUGE ineffectiveness in promoting the...

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

by StarSoldier1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 24 '02
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 ...

Tons of untapped potential

by HawgWyld Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Nov 16 '01
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 ...

Atari's last stand

by rukivverh , Jul 17 '01
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...

I'd Like To Smash This Thing Into 64 Bits

by Goldentoe , Jun 13 '01
Pros: Could be used as a paperweight
Cons: Miserable game support. Embarrasing graphics and sound for being a 64 bit system.
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's swan song...

by jag2112 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, May 17 '01
Pros: Fantastic Graphics and sound. Years ahead of its time.
Cons: Poor marketing, limited games...
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...

The first "next gen" video game system

by brclarke , Feb 09 '01
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...

Commercial Bomb...Still, Had Some Of The Best Games

by 5979 , Jan 01 '01
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...

I like it but it isn't for everyone

by Dracmania , Dec 12 '00
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.

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

The Greatest system there ever was *UPDATED*

by dev124 , Oct 15 '00
Pros: Graphics, sounds, everything
Cons: some games stunk
Tell me, how do people feel about the Jaguar
I own 3 Jaguars and 1 Jag-CD(too hard to find)

The Jaguar System was a great innovation, even though the graphics were only 32-bit, everything else was 64-bit.

I gotta tell ya, I...

3D Killed The Jaguar

by aindovin , Sep 22 '00
Pros: Good Sound
Cons: Bad games. Slow 3d.
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...

Cat Scratch Fever

by nathantyree Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 09 '00
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...
