Atari Jaguar

[OPETH]

Did anyone ever own or play this? What did you think of it ?

I got one given to me not long after it came out, first thing I thought was...Thats a controller ?



Really is there any need for that many buttons, lucky enough most of them you didnt need to use in most games. Imagine having to utilize all those buttons while playing the 2d rayman lol.

I bought Rayman, Doom, Atari Karts, Alien Vs Preditor, Tempest 2000, Primal Rage, Skyhammer and Ultra Vortek.

The system claimed to be 64 bit ? anyone know more info on it, or could talk specs about it I'd like that.
Looking at the games it was bearly better than the Snes, sometimes looking it's eqaul and not a generation ahead.

I'm going to get one off ebay when I turn 18 (next month so I can legally purchase stuff off there). It's a pretty bad console. I just want one for some reason.

bought one off ebay a few months back.

Haven't plugged it in yet to check. Came with a game called Cybermorph. I might need to hunt a couple more games down.

It came from England, so I'll need an adapter.

your right its awfull, but a collectors item no doubt, Ataris last console, like the Dreamcast is Sega's.

The CD add on costs a pretty penny. I'll definitely get it though.

Never put those two systems in the same sentence!

I had one when I had my crazy collector time, when I had over 5000 games and every system starting from the NES (except Jaguar CD and the Virtual Boy). Now I limit myself to the good stuff

My onion is - it's a steaming pile, it'll gather dust and you won't play it.
Alien Vs Predator has aged really badly and the producers Rebellion made a far superior PC edition.

Honestly don't bother.

On a curious note, there are collectors of it in Japan, I worked for an importers in the UK when I was a student and we used to ship games out to some bloke in Kyoto!

PS - Ed Cybermorph is really shite, it was the pack in game in the UK.
Worse than Sega's Megadrive gift of Altered Beast, the buggers could have stuck Sonic in

BTW it had 2 32 Bit processors, don't know all the details because I'm not a tech-head, so they cheated.

Wouldn't have been an issue, but the Saturn puts it to shame.

I really want to give Alien Vs Predator a go. Also the Wolfenstein remake.
