Bad Points
The joypad, every other game, the cd add-on
General Comments
There are 3 good games on the Atari Jaguar: AVP, Tempest and Doom. Everything else sucks. From the laughable cybermorph to the sub 16 bit dross like Raiden and Zoop, it was this lack of decent software that eventually killed the system off. The console is supposed to be 64 bit, but only a handful of games even hint at this, the majority being ports of mega drive and SNES games. The joypad is a ridiculous creation that looks like a cross between a phone and a tv remote and requires hands like the hulk to use. The CD add on comes with possibly the most patheic piece of software ever created - virtual light machine, a random pattern generator for you cds. Hmm, the perfect reason to rush out and try to find one at a car boot. If you do see one, walk away - it ain't worth the fiver being charged for it.

Back in December 1993, this was a GREAT system. It had never before seen graphics, and the games was actually really good for its time. 64bit!! In late 1993 came the strange add-ons. ie. the crazy CD-PLAYER and the bonkers virtual reality headset. Come on, the Atari Jaguar was one crazy games machine back in 1993! I remember playing the games, and I was amazed. The Alien vs. Predator game that everyone wanted to play, was the only game around back in 1993, that had these kind of graphics. The Tempest game was great (WOW) in your front room, with better graphics and hardcore music, but the Atari Jaguar is an old piece of history now and it deserves a medal.
