Here are some better photos of the A2600 Jr. "Short Rainbow" that I own. You can see the damage and my attempt at mitigating it. It still needs work. But, I am confident it can be repaired cosmetically. Any suggestions? Thanks. 

I have an A2600 Jr. "Short Rainbow" console that I bought at SPACE (Saint Paul Atari Computer Enthusiasts) in Saint Paul about twenty years ago. The case on the console got damaged from a fall off of a shelf, but it is only moderate cosmetic damage, can be repaired (and I tried with epoxy), and still works well. I need to make more cosmetic repairs on it, but now and then I still play it. Anybody know where I can get some black plastic putty filler? Like Bondo or epoxy, maybe. That would be all I needed to repair this thing. Here is a picture of the console.

Black duct tape.  I'm not kidding.  It will make it look decent and not damage it any further.  If you're careful and cut the tape in just the right shapes, it can be very discreet.

I had heard that MK3 was being developed for the Jag while the Jaguar was still being marketed. I was waiting for that to be released as well. But, they did not release it. With the marketing scheme Jack Tramiel had, I don't think that even MK3 would have saved the Jaguar. People were tired of Atari by then. Alas…

To be honest, I didn't not know of any MK3 game coming to the Jaguar.  The only games I remember seeing advertised the most were the exclusives it got, arcade remakes (the 2000 series including Tempest), and ports of aging PC titles.  Granted it was an awesome console but I really believe the console could have pulled off so much more.  I'm not saying it didn't get any good games but titles like Club Drive really show just how erratic the game library was.  I'm glad that it did get Raiden...that was a much needed title.  I believe if they could have got developers like Midway to sign up the system might have had a better standing.

You are most welcome, and thanks. Happy to oblige.

Thanks for the correction, I eventually plan on updating it later this year and will correct it then along with whatever else I change. It has been suggested to make the Jukebox place randomly on-screen as not to create burn-in for those using CRT and I may implement a play all feature and/or randomize song play if I can get the amount of music to about 20 tracks in a 4MB space.

I like this, too. Just burned it. I also like the interactive graphics. Nice touch. One minor thing, and it is constructive criticism of course. No offense. The track, "Fade to Black," is not. It is really "The Call of Ktulu," by Metallica. Other than that, it's pretty cool. Thanks for letting me share.

I have not used my 1040STE much lately, but it works splendidly. I wish I had a Falcon030 computer, but they cost an arm and a leg nowadays, and they are scarce. I might get a Mega ST soon, but that is up in the air at the moment. Money talks there. Here are more pictures of my collection…
 

Hey, everybody,
 
I noticed that I have been on here since 2014. But, I never said my introduction. I will not go into detail about who I am beyond my avatar, but I will say a few things about myself and have a little show-and-tell. I live in Minnesota, where it is extremely cold at this writing. I enjoy sci-fi, drawing and sketching, graphic design, collecting Atari games (of which I will show part of my collection here in a bit), meeting with my friends, and animation. My dream is to be an animated cartoon producer, and to teach others how to create animation who are of low-income status and/or have a disability. I also want to create a game in the future, but that is still in the planning stages.
 
Here are samples of my Atari game collection. This may take a few posts to put up because there are twenty-one photographs of my collection. Thanks.

Agreed on Black ICE/White Noise, and maybe Freelancer. I would have liked to see Dracula: The Undead on there as well. It was coming but was cancelled. The previous two I mentioned were as well, of course.

A sequel of AvP for the Jag CD would be a fine addition.
 
A elaborate version of Dungeon Master would be a dream for the Jag. A D&D RPG, settled in the Forgotten Realms or any other RPG! This genre would give the Jag CD a honorable right to exist.

Lawnmower Man is a great choice, and it brings up an interesting idea.  Would more movie tie-ins have helped the Jag library?  It would have been an easy way to bring more "familiar" content to the platform.  Maybe with a focus on the horror or sci-fi realm.  Example:  a dark-themed Bladerunner game.

Probably, if handled carefully. Some of the huge success of the Amiga in the UK is frequently attributed to the timely release of the Batman pack, which bundled the A500 with the game adaptation just as the movie was at the peak of its blockbuster hype. However, knowing Atari, they would have ended up with the license for Howard The Duck.
 
Although, I hasten to add that I picked the Lawnmower Man because of the gameplay mechanics and the aesthetic rather than the weight of the movie. It could have been Cyberpunk Weirdness 2000 and it could have still been a great game for the Jaguar.
 
 
I would love to have seen something like in the catalog. Black ICE\White Noise?

Here is my last picture. Thanks.

I've got an Atari 1040STFM, but I haven't used it much.

Thanks. There's more coming soon.
