    Whoa. That sounds really cool greenween. What's the objective of the game? How does the electronic tower know what's going on in the game? I might have to get this.

    It was beautiful. Up to 4 players, the "tower" was electronic and would display battle stats, etc.Random encounters, dragons, finding keys and treasure!! I found a dos version years ago, not the same but it was pretty cool.

    @Dr. Octagon - Thank you for comparing the Jaguar to the Klingons. It absolutely made my day. I can just see Sam & Co. facing off against Sega and Nintendo and shouting "Today is a good day to die!"
     
    @Fire_In_The_Valley - I couldn't agree more regarding graphics vs. gameplay. I believe that this is why we're seeing a resurgence of indie developers in the mobile and console space.
     
    Other things that I love about the Jaguar:
     
    - The pro-controller. In my opinion it is the most comfortable controller this side of a dual shock.
    - The retro updates: Tempest 2K, Defender 2K, Missile Command 3D and Breakout 2k.
    - The VLM. This was great at parties circa 1995 and it still impresses today on a giant flat screen.
    - The vaporware: Jaguar VR, Jaguar Duo, Jaguar 2.

    I have a soft spot in my heart for the Jaguar. In fact, it's the only Atari console that I have a complete retail collection for. I bought my first Jaguar with Wolfenstein 3D and Raiden in 1994. Twenty years on, a Jaguar is always hooked up to a tv and regularly played. But what is it about the Jaguar - the last true Atari - that makes it so endearing?

    As much as it was an epic commercial failure, the Jaguar also signified wide-eyed hope and optimism. It was Atari's 64-bit Hail Mary pass. You get the sense in reading the interviews with Sam Tramiel that Atari Corp. genuinely believed that they would be dancing in the end zone and send Nintendo, Sega and that upstart 3DO back to the lockers. I loved that about the Jaguar and I was on board.

    As it was, the dream wouldn't materialize. Atari would become a logo for officially licensed product and Jaguar would be unduly maligned by countless adolescent you tubers hoping to be the next AVGN. But if you can get past the hate, there are number of great games on the system - many exclusive to the Jag.

    Indeed, for every Checkered Flag or Double Dragon V there is an Iron Soldier, a Tempest 2000, a Rayman or an AVP. Better still, many great games continue to come out on the Jaguar twenty years later. Games like Skyhammer, Iron Soldier 2, and Zero 5 are all fantastic post Atari releases. Plus, there are a handful of active developers like Reboot, MD Games and Orion that are showing this cat has many, many more lives.

    So Jaguar fans, what do you love about the last true Atari?

    Interesting article Zontar, thanks for sharing! All these years later the Lynx is still my favorite handheld for all the right reasons.

    Hi guys, I just posted to the Blog about a great article I read on another site. It's by Jeremy Parish about the Atari Lynx, its impact in the portable wars and its legacy today. The article is very well written and touches on all things Atari after Warner Communications sold Atari to Jack Tramiel. I thought Jeremy Parish made a lot of good points and really understood what was going on at that time.
