The 'call me on my Jaguar' bit had me dying :D

[@RGT85]

lol I've had that bit in my head since I got the Jaguar.

[@nightruler666]

Where did you learn to fly?

[@Southpoint2019]

Vampirerockstar avgn

[@TheRetroShed]

Great vid! Just got hold of one with a handful of games. Looking forward to checking it out.

[@GameplayandTalk]

I'm glad to see you enjoyed the Jaguar, with the limited library you have. Lots of people dislike the console, but I feel it has some solid games when you know where to look. The ones you listed were solid for sure and some of the better ones on the system.

[@RGT85]

Yeah it's a nice little console!

[@BolofromAvlis]

At the time Atari had hinted they were working on all sorts of gadgets for that port, including a VR headset.

[@BolofromAvlis]

I bought one back in the day. they were hard to find at first. I ultimately got rid of mine, but looking back I wish I'd held on to it. Alien Vs Predator, Iron Soldier, and especially Tempest 2000 are must haves in my opinion. The music and trippy visuals in Tempest 2000 were really incredible. I would play that game for hours on end, with the lights out and I had my tv sound output through my stereo system. Awesome stuff. I miss playing that game. And I liked the controllers too. I kept hoping Atari would make a version of Star Raiders for the system. that goofy keypad would have been great for a game like that.

[@Tolbat]

The VR Headset was real and actually worked pretty well, there are 2 working demos out there. If you get a chance to check them out you should

[@producerevan88]

definitely digging your channel my brotha, good stuff!

[@g0dm0nster8]

You deserve so many more subs man, your vids are always awesome.

[@RGT85]

Thank you man. To be honest I'm surprised I have as many as I do though. Retro gaming is a tough market on KZbin. lol

[@izmaster1]

nice vid brother! you're pullin me back into retro gaming fuck yeah!. lots of good memories.

[@RGT85]

+SquadSeven glad you enjoyed it

[@dpsinoh]

Jaguar 6 button controller also has shoulder buttons, additional buttons are just duplicate functions of the number pad.

[@edgegod7461]

the bits are the shits.

[@RGT85]

lofl yessir!

[@Chubzdoomer]

Damnit, now I want a T-shirt with that on it!

[@RGT85]

lol maybe I'll make one.

[@bumpndump9643]

Playing some ´´Jag´´ homie? that is how the cool kids call it, the Jag

[@RGT85]

lol right!

[@TheRealAkuma632]

Can we get another Jag video update on your collection and other must owns / must play games ? Thanks. Great review

[@danieln8490]

I just Subscribed, really enjoy your content.

[@shadowtheoblivious]

very well done my friend an i wish i had a jag if only for avp i at least got to play one when i was in elementary as my teachers aid brought his in

[@RGT85]

Nice!

[@mtshark7]

Awesome review Shawn! I was super stoked when the Jaguar came out and I too never got one as a kid, lol. This is hands down one of the best reviews on the Jaguar, well done :-) One game I would highly recommend is Tempest 2000; it's always my go-to game when I hook mine up.

[@RGT85]

Yeah I need to snag that!

[@caseyisrawgamingwrestling1253]

love the song, should do a full music video of it, great review as usual

[@jasoncrews2]

Just got AVP. Bout to play it. Good look on Iron soldier just bought it a few min ago. lol

[@Tolbat]

I loved my Jaguar and miss it, I sold it a few years ago. Its a fun system. I am glad you showed the controller love because it was crazy neat.

[@Tolbat]

Defender 2000, Missile Command 3d, Wolfenstein and Doom were great on the Jaguar for the time. Temptest 2000. Theme Park, Battle Sphere. Check out the indy games as well. Brutal Sports Football, you have to get that!

[@Wenersnitzel52]

Great video man

i have a question is the jaguar graphite grayish black or dark gray?? the question is killing me :v

[@Boozebedrunk]

Kay-Bee wow i remember that toy chain that was long time, wish that toy chain was still around

[@RGT85]

Same. So many memories.

[@The_Badcompany]

Nice singing voice! I would like to hear you do it more often! I know exactly what you mean about visiting consoles that you wanted as a kid but didn't have. I didn't know anyone who had any Sega or TurboGrafx consoles growing up so when I got older I got into them.

[@RGT85]

3DO was another for me. I need to do a video on that!

[@The_Badcompany]

Yeah that's another console you should do one on. I remember when it was released but I really don't know much about it other than there weren't many games on it bc it didn't last long. The Neo Geo is one that I really would like to get into collecting but it's just so expensive!

[@travismadden1788]

Great video! 3DO and the Jag are cool systems. Now you just need to be sporting the jaguar bumber sticker on your ride!

[@RGT85]

Yeah really interesting hardware with both systems. I have a bigger 3DO collection so one day I'm gonna tackle that.

[@zachabama]

You did a sega Saturn review, that was awesome. Your jaguar review did justice as well. Total underdog the Jaguar. Wolfenstein and DOOM are a must have. I'm now going to have to watch more of your videos. Good job dude.

[@RGT85]

Thank you bud!

[@Cose2Cose]

I've had my Jaguar since it was new. I had to have it for AvP and still love to go back to it. I also have the Jag CD and the other games you played and more. Please check out the Jag version of Wolfenstein 3D.

[@jerps93]

you did good. I really enjoyed the Hotline Bling part.

[@RGT85]

muwhahaha

[@gbNelson79]

I recently bought an S-Video cable for my Jaguar. NBA Jam TE looks wicked good with it. Some guy on eBay from the UK sells them. I think it was under $20 plus S/H. Totally worth it IMO.

[@RGT85]

Nice I'll check it out

[@tayloralmond]

If you happen to be fortunate enough to have a PVM or a Framemeister, get the RGB scart cable for the Jaguar. RGB on the Jaguar is razor sharp.

[@sparticus214]

+Taylor Almond Can scart support true yellow for Samsung 3d or if I use super VGA adaptor will that cause single delay

[@XV250]

The S-video is definitely a bit crisper and sharper than the AV composite output. Too bad most TVs don't support it anymore.

[@davidcarmichael5698]

Would you have collected and kept the Jag? Or eventually traded it? There is a Jaguar kiosk here in town that has AVP...

[@RGT85]

I honestly like the system.. I want to pick up more titles for it.

[@davidcarmichael5698]

+RGT 85 the game store is Fallout Games if ever around

[@davidcarmichael5698]

+RGT 85 also they sell sealed games there as well as the cd games just fyi

[@Captain_Neckbeard]

AVGN going through the bits on the Tiger episode is hilarious. That is what I think of when anyone mentions bits now.

[@RGT85]

lol yeah

[@matsaw]

I loved my Jaguar, even had the CD add on. A lot of people say they had problems with the CD add on but mine worked flawlessly.

[@TeeroyHammermill]

My Jag CD overheats after about an hour.

[@jaymzx2587]

Good vid! Your editing could be lots smoother; transitions would be nice for example. I do like the music a lot👍🏻 But the content is really interesting thanks!

[@RGT85]

+Jaymz X yeah my computer is pretty weak. New one incoming though.

[@mattmurray07]

Raiden was the first game I played on my Jaguar and sparked my love of the series. If you're curious about other versions of Raiden, play the Raiden Project for PS1. It is the definitive version with both Raiden 1 and 2, and you also have the option to select remixed versions of the OST.

[@RGT85]

Nice I'll check it out.

[@stressedrex]

You are one of my favorite KZbinrs :)

[@RGT85]

Thank you bud

[@RippRoast83]

how did you get a coleco chameleon!!! I want one! jp.. i got a jaguar for 24.99 at kb toys one of the best deals i got on a new console ever.

[@RGT85]

+Mark W I remember seeing them for that price

[@Redfoot138]

Me too. I go back and forth wondering whether I should have gotten one. Not too many of the games appeal to me but... $25

[@craigmiller2101]

Like for the singing lmao. Wasn't expecting that !

[@XV250]

I picked up a cheap copy of 'Worms' a few days ago. It is surprisingly good!

[@jgregoryj1]

Love my jaguar. Had one new in 1998 and I remember picking up a jagcd system at Walmart in 1999 for $50 new. Currently I have about 20+ games. My favorites that I own are: Avp Doom. (awesome but no I game music) Wolfenstein 3d is awesome Iron soldier 1 & 2 (2 is a repro) Etsy for $35 Tempest 2k. Awesome game Rayman Battlesphere gold (repo from Etsy $36) Defender 2k Atari karts. Repro Kasumi ninja. Meh Raiden. Excellent game Checkered flag. Controls way too sensitive Cybermorph

[@Garydasilvamelo]

I was lucky enough to buy mine when it was in the clearance bin. Your review of the system and games were spot on. I highly recommend Wolfenstein 3d and Brutal Sports Football.

[@RGT85]

That football game does look dope, like Jerry Glanville's Pig Skin Brawl!

[@dpsinoh]

The XE-GS was released in the years between the 7800 & the Jaguar

[@fozzytheartist9173]

I've been looking for one of these for years. Just haven't found one cheap enough. It took me four years to find my TG16 so I'll just be patient lol

[@RGT85]

That's the best way to do it.

[@alexander2685]

Not worth it get the atari vcs and least it does not suck.

[@ViolinistProductions]

When I started picking up Jaguar games a few years ago I was able to pick up all my childhood games, except for one game Rayman. Wolfenstein 3D, Alien VS Predator, Theme Park, and Doom were the best of the games when I was growing up, and still are my most liked for the console

[@squarepainter]

I picked up a Jaguar on the cheap a few years ago and its not THAT bad. Alien vs Predator is a great game for the time and Raiden looks like a really fun shooter.

[@RGT85]

+Squarepainter yeah the asking price now is waaaay too high but there's some super decent games on it if you can get the console cheap enough.

[@atarilbc3579]

Nice video. The controller is really comfortable and highly underrated. If you want to upgrade from composite, there are also third party S-video and SCART cables that are relatively inexpensive. You picked up some great first games; Raiden, Iron Soldier and AVP are all awesome. About half of the library is above average to very good with a handful of standouts.

[@RGT85]

+Atari LBC yeah I'm enjoying the console more so than I thought I would.

[@tommyperkins]

We always pronounced the 'u' whenever any of my buddies talked about it: 'Jag-u-ar'. Of course we were just wrong, having only ever seen it written down. It was always a bit of a mythical beast (no pun intended) because no one I knew owned one! It was just legendary! Aesthetically the thing looked a bit like a jetpack turned on its side, and generally speaking it almost doesn't look to dated. Like you mentioned, those cost cutting measures to the hardware are just shocking! Great vid, man!

[@RGT85]

+James Griffiths thank you bud. I know British people pronounce the u

[@zolwikwkurwik]

Tried this console last month. Very comfortable controller :)

[@RGT85]

It seriously is amazing how comfy the controller is.

[@SiniScope]

People have put the Jag controller down for a long time, but I have used my Jag controllers since 93 and I have always found them, the original and Pro version, to be very comfortable and I don't think it looks that bad either though I am in the minority for sure. When coupled with the look of the system, I think they match very well. Does look a little better with an overlay on it in my opinion though.

[@PastaMaster115]

If you can find it you should get Tempest 2000. Not sure if it's a cartridge or if it was for the Jaguar CD. If it's a cartridge look for it!

[@2112dorf]

I suggest you try Tempest 2000. I've only played the Saturn version (but it originated on the Jaguar). It keeps the pace of the arcade version, and adds a bunch of new enemies and power ups. Lots of fun...

[@RGT85]

Yeah that's a game on my list. Looks interesting and have heard great things about it.

[@ClassicCo-op]

I also only have a few Jaguar games. But that version of Raiden is one of my favorite shooters of all time. It's really basic, but I just love it. And it's one of the only shoot em ups I can beat without cheats haha.

[@RGT85]

It's a really solid port for sure!

[@bgp001]

I too recently got a Jaguar. It was one of three systems I always wanted back in the 90s but never got (3DO and TG16 are the other two, though I did get a 3DO some years back, still need the TG16). Only have two games right now on the system, Ultra Vortek and Wolfenstein 3D. UV is a Mortal Kombat clone and it's quite fun if you're a fan of those types of fighters. Nowhere near the same league as MK, SF or other top fighters but as a clone, I have fun with it. Wolf3d is a great port. Its similar to the 3DO version. Hoping to get Tempest 2000 one of these days as well as checking out the Doom port (I'm always curious at how some games port over to different consoles).

[@RGT85]

Yeah people have said Tempest is fantastic, and Doom is bad ass minus the music missing.

[@joegoesretro]

I had a Jag back in the day. I liked the controller too, but it kinda wore on your thumb a bit if you played the few fighters on the console for any length of time. Kasumi Ninja was cheesy as all hell, but I found it entertaining. I was also quite fond of the ports of Wolfenstein 3d and Doom as well.

[@RGT85]

I need some FPS action on the thing.

[@QuietPandaMike]

Never had a chance to play one. Looks interesting though.

[@RGT85]

It's super decent.

[@zombiefeast1.039]

There are so many t.v. options what kind would you suggest

[@RGT85]

I love the Sony WEGA brand of CRT TV. Goodwill's and Habitat for Humanties are filled with them and they are usually cheap. The picture is fantastic.

[@zombiefeast1.039]

Thanks for the help.

[@BigHilm]

I picked mine up a few years ago & hv a decent size library of games. You are right about the price bump I'm glad I got all my stuff when I did. def check out Doom, wolfenstien & power drive it's a top down rally game.

[@RGT85]

Very nice. I need to beef up the FPS collection on the console for sure.

[@bengreen1144]

my big brothers friend borrowed me one for a day when I was a kid, I remember thinking it was shit.

[@RGT85]

Now you frown on THEM!

[@brentgranger7856]

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the Atari Jaguar. You did get a fine selection of games to review. I would also recommend Tempest 2000. It's a very addicting game with a great soundtrack. Atari Karts is a decent alternative to Super Mario Kart. Doom and Wolfenstein 3-D play well on the system due to the Jaguar's number pad allowing for quick switching of weapons, but there's no music in Doom (it's often called "Silent Doom").

[@vinnybruce2874]

I had a jaguar since summer of 1995 with the cd witch I didn't know what the he'll it does plus extra cartridge slot

[@SianaGearz]

The CD plays... CD-based games! Myst for example.

[@EricHostile]

got one as a kid off the newspaper, LOVED Wolf 3D, DOOM, AVP, andTempest 2000. That was bout it.

[@RGT85]

It was super solid for FPS games.

[@joshregrut784]

I personally love the jaguar system I still have my original version from 93 and still love the rarity of the system as well I never had the chance to get the CD but the console I still have and still play regularly and still love that it was the first 64 bit console followed by the N64

[@SharifSourour]

Nice little review. Metal Jesus Rocks also praised the controller, so it really must be good. Nice selection of games as well. :) In terms of Doom, I feel pretty satisfied with how they even got it to run on the SNES!

[@RGT85]

It feels so smooth and good in my hand. It's like made for me.

[@SharifSourour]

:D Nice!

[@nicktiner2074]

I have a feeling the Jaguar would have been able to handle Neo Geo games just fine. Could you imagine if the system could have been a cheaper alternative for playing Neo Geo?

[@RGT85]

That would have been awesome.

[@TheLastLineLive]

Jag supports S-Video and Scart as well, so if you have the means to utilize them, definitely do so. But anyway, you forgot to explain what was up with the thing in the back middle of the system, is it some type of connector to use cables like the AV or Svideo or etc, since it only has RF out? Or is the RF Out just meaning that is just what it was bundled with? As far as the controller, it is a pretty good controller. I think the lack of shoulder buttons was bad and the 12 button thing as just plain weird, but the shape, D-pad, and main buttons all feel solid. If you're looking to see what games are worth picking up on the Jaguar, a good channel to check out is Brian Thomas Barnhart, he has some of the best Jaguar and other atari videos and doesn't have nearly the subs he should.

[@RGT85]

I'll have to check it out!

[@MisterSouji]

Where did YOU learn to fly?

[@RGT85]

+MaxSonic oh god that voice. Lol

[@nickwhitman6319]

The intro to this video sold me. lol

[@RGT85]

+Nick Whitman haha good!

[@ComicBooksandVideoGameNerd96]

that's me and alot of the 5th and 6th gen consoles my couldn't afford

[@58jharris]

If "You Can Call Me On My Jaguar" was available on iTunes I would buy it.

[@Mayoriot]

nice. I've never seen a jaguar. doesn't look too bad. maybe one day I'll get one

[@RGT85]

It's a neat little console. Try and find one at a good price though!

[@Mayoriot]

Yea you got lucky on the price. Thanks for the video!

[@LochSNESmonster]

my favorite box to play with is the COUGAR!

[@RGT85]

Some of those slots are pretty worn out though ;)

[@LochSNESmonster]

Get them to blow on your cartridge and clean the pins

[@lukesurman1847]

What about Tempest 2000?

[@professorgull2031]

Funny the Jaguar is more popular now that it has been and there are lots of home brews for it as well. This may be due to the RETRO VGS debacle. I am not a fan of the controllers but lots of decent stuff in there. Glad you got to experience it.

[@RGT85]

+Professor Gull haha more than likely it is

[@Loftin08]

I've been curious in trying out a Jaguar for a while, but right now the prices are a little too high for me.

[@RGT85]

Ah dude I know. I was lucky and got my Jag, 2 controllers, multi-tap, and Trevor McFur for $100 from a buddy who owns a shop.

[@dad7275]

yes Wolfenstein and expecially Doom are great first person shooters on this system... the CD attachment is good too especially considering the home brews made for it.

[@RGT85]

+Dad72hthorn isn't it spotty in terms of working though

[@bioarmor79]

Is it true the games had no background music??

[@zombee38]

Doom is one of those games...I don't know of any other.

[@Tolbat]

Some games have awesome music, some okay and some none

[@dogsbark5750]

got one in early 99 for $120 with a Jag CD, Atari Karts, and some other games far less valuable games cib. Thought I payed to much for what I got. Now finding a Jag cd that works is rare and people charge 100 for the box, barely even used mine in 18 years, but it still works. It really is a unique system and all the bad things are true, but it has charm. I love seeing them at conventions.

[@roberthornibrook6344]

Dude, every time I see those controllers I hear you singing about the Atari Jaguar lol.

[@RGT85]

+Robert Hornibrook Lofl good!

[@christianschoerner2188]

Would like a similar video inte 3do from you to.

[@schooltrashers]

I've always wanted an Atari Jaguar when I was a kid.

[@RGT85]

Same. It's a neat little console.

[@coleshores]

You should pick up Tempest 2000 whenever you get the chance, its absolutely fantastic.. its not expensive at all.

[@stevenmabee3232]

I was working at Toy's R Us at the time and bought a Jaguar, I liked it. I had the AVP game, very cool..the one game I liked the most was Tempest 2000. It had the best soundtrack for that system, if you haven't picked that one up I recommend doing so soon!

[@RGT85]

I just got Tempest 2000 from a fan of the show! :)

[@mdrake42]

Multimedia was a buzzword used in the early nineties for anything on CD-ROM. Marketing folks used it like the "bits" and "Information Superhighway".... I remember we had the end of year speech night (where parents came to see all the stuff their kids did all year, and listen to black robed teachers rabbit on about how great the school was to justify the cost), and the principal announced the school would be leading in computer education in the coming year as they purchased multi-media technology. That basically meant they purchased a CDROM drive with the Australian census CD. Everyone gave it a huge round of applause. One CD-ROM drive for 1500 kids, which not surprisingly went mostly unused.... So I assume since the jaguar was meant to originally ship with CD-ROM as standard, that the branding was reflecting that... I want a Jaguar now.... bugger there goes the budget...

[@austinblack8011]

Sean get the wolfenstein 3D and doom ports for the jaguar

[@thefostersgamesreviews]

it's a console I would like to add to my collection myself also along with aliens v predator and doom

[@RGT85]

It's pretty enjoyable!

[@boblowes]

I've always had a soft spot for the Jaguar. It's by no means a terrible system, as some people like to make out, and it has some quality titles. The 'Multimedia' thing doesn't refer to the number of different media you could play on the Jaguar - back in the early-mid 90s, Multimedia was a computer buzzword. It usually referred to CD ROM software that would mix up different media. For example, a CD-ROM encyclopaedia could be "multimedia", as they could include text, music, video, and photographs - multiple forms of media. A "multimedia device" would be a machine which would hook up to your TV and enable to play back of this software (rather than have to deal with the complexity of a computer). So, systems like the Commodore Amiga CDTV and the Phillips CDi (another underrated system) were primarily marketed as "multimedia" devices, even though they were perfectly capable of playing games. Presumably, Atari were cognisant of the impending CD-ROMadd-on they were intending to release, which could be used to make the Jaguar akin to a more traditional "multimedia" device. The open circuit connector concept is familiar to the good old ZX Spectrum, from Sinclair Research, here in the UK. The Spectrum was a cheap, but phenomenally popular home computer, and it used the open edge connector concept for expansions. Flare Technologies (who designed the Jaguar) had previously all worked for Sinclair Research on computers like the ZX Spectrum, and it was a useful cost saving measure for that system. Doubtless, Flare felt the same thing with the Jaguar. You can get professionally made RGB to Scart Jaguar video cables from Retro Computer Shack on eBay. They're well worth it, and make the Jaguar's picture quality really shine. You'll need some sort of Scart converter if you're living outside Europe though. The Jaguar's library of games is surprisingly good. There's a lot of ports from the Commodore Amiga and Sega Mega Drive, but that's not surprising, as they were both based on the Motorola 68000 cpu, which was also found n the Jaguar and could be assigned as the CPU (I think the Jaguar's complicated architecture was a turn-off for many developers). And while they may be ports of existing 16bit titles, they do look nice on the Jaguar. Games like Alien vs Predator, Doom and Castle Wolfenstein show what could be done.

[@RGT85]

I honestly wish that they would have tried a little harder with Pitfall over the 16bit version. That could have been something special since Pitfall was so essential to the 2600 library you know?

[@boblowes]

True enough

[@NicksHellHole]

Cybermorph was tons of fun too.

[@RGT85]

Where did you learn to fly?

[@NicksHellHole]

RGT 85 No idea, I'm pretty good at older flying games if I may say so myself.

[@monkeyabattoir8501]

i had iron soldier on ps1/PAL . Awesome game.

[@matthewstapleton3285]

I so wish I could use the Jag controller with my 5200 Super System. Playing most games with my upgraded 5200 joystick is so infuriating!

[@jonniefast]

jaguar was the last atari system i collected ; i wish i hadn't saved it for last its kinda great. 💖

[@alexander2685]

I would rather get a atari vcs.

[@jonniefast]

a 7800 will likely give you more playable titles than the jag, however tempest 2000 is awesome enough to justify owning the system

[@stressedrex]

Do you have a Jaguar CD yet?

[@RGT85]

Nope. lol

[@stressedrex]

If you end up buying one for cheap that ISN'T defective, consider yourself lucky!

[@stigbuster]

Great video Just tried to take a quick look on ebay and WOW they want almost AU$500 or more for one and none are in Australia only UK and USA :( No jaguar for me

[@RGT85]

Damn dude! Keep looking!

[@mss490]

Pleasantly surprised that you liked it enough. I actually have never heard of Iron Soldier, which is a shame, because you make it sound like it's probably the best game in the systems library. I loved Cybermorph and Tempest 2000, but even with my rose-tinted nostalgia goggles on over 9,000, that game looks even more fun than either of the latter two.

[@RGT85]

+Doa Gaming I really liked iron soldier. Blowing shit up in a big mech is fun

[@KWKBOX]

This system looks a lot like a Coleco Chameleon and we all know how that turned out. I think that case design is cursed.

[@RGT85]

Well they bought the Jaguar molds

[@KWKBOX]

RGT 85 Yea I know. It is hard to sound sarcastic in the comments.

[@cliffjumper1984]

I had one. I got it from a friend. Some one dumped one at my buddy's house. No one knew who's it was. I left my 2 Atari 2600's there (6 button, and a Jr) plus 50 games or so. Someone took all my Atari stuff. We were all so close...it's weird no one knew who took the 2600 stuff or who left the jag. So he felt bad and I got the Jaguar. Had 7 games. Zool, Theme Park Maker, and I forget what else. The power adapter then got busted. being 2004. I didn't know where to get one...didn't do online buying at all back then. I just threw it out. Man, was I dumb. HAHA the drake rip off was funny

[@jamaicanlovrboy]

Never had the opportunity to play one, never even knew anybody with one

[@RGT85]

They are pretty neat.

[@CasperEgas]

Almost have all regular Jaguar and Jag Cd games now, if I don't include aftermarker releases. Still need Attack of The mutant Penguins, Missile Command 3d for the regular Jaguar and Dragon's Lair, Brian Dead 13 and Primal Rage for the Jaguar Cd.

[@RGT85]

Nice! I'm jealous :P

[@justjasonbeardenjokes]

The Jaguar was great in my opinion that had several awesome titles. Iron Soldier, Defender 2000, the original Rayman, Tetris World, Ultra Vortek, Aliens Vs. Predator, Cybermorph, its own version of Pitfall The Mayan Adventure. Not to mention I also had the CD attachment but only 2 games for that Primal Rage and Dragon's Lair. Yeah those were ports of games that you could get on other consoles but I felt like I had to justify the purchase of buying a peripheral that eventually only had 11 games in it's life cycle. Still had fun with both systems though for what I could get out of them.

[@RGT85]

What made Primal Rage so good on the Jag CD? Legit question as I don't know because I've never owned a Jag Cd

[@justjasonbeardenjokes]

+RGT 85 Well.. hah... uh... It might not have been good per se... for me it was the only port of the game I had ever played outside of the arcade version, which I loved. So being on a brand new "64 BIT" cd platform that I had just acquired at the time that didn't have (and never got) many games to play I was prompted to buy that version. It might just be a nostalgic thing.

[@RoboArdy]

The Drake Thing is the BEST. Classic.

needed more hotline bling and less T-shirt.. this system is not for me, but its good to see you can get enjoyment out of it... I remember seeing the controller in magazines and just being like, wtf?

[@RGT85]

lol dude hold the controller just once. It's like a glove.

[@RewindMike]

It does look nice now, when I was younger though I just associated it all those older controllers that looked confusing. Its just too busy, knowing now that not all of them are used. I guess I would give it a go given the chance.

My favorite thing on the system is it's port of Wolfenstein 3D. In some respects its superior to the original.

The Jaguar had a few good games including Tempest 2000 and AvP. The Jaguar was actually a dual 16-bit console with a 64-bit bus width. basically a pumped up 16-bit console.

Yeah I'm terrible with schematics and stuff. lol

[@bretcrooks6192]

wrong the two main cpu's are 32-bit risc each please get facts before talking in fact they were the exact same cpu's used in that generations imacs they were ibm powerpc chips

Actually it's "Super Burnout" not "Super Hang On GP", though the mistake is understood. Some other Jaguar games worth getting: Cannon Fodder, Ruiner Pinball, SkyHammer, Hyper Force, Towers 2: Plight Of The Stargazer, Brutal Sports Football, Protector: Special Edition, Ultra Vortek, Tempest 2000, and Syndicate (which is a very faithful port of the PC game) if you don't have the downloaded version from Good Old Games. Wolfenstein 3D has the same exact levels as the Super Nintendo port, but is uncensored.

Brutal Sports Football does look fun as hell, and cheap too

The Jaguar gets its name from a football team in Jacksonville, Florida... True Story! 😂

[@RGT85]

....but this came out before the Football team. lol

I had Jaguar back then in 1993-94, and it was kinda cool really, like a genesis-snes hybrid combination in terms of performance and got great games like Doom, Wolfenstein, Pitfall, Rayman AVP, Raiden, Iron Soldier and Zool 2! I recommend you the first two Bro! Worth a cigarette break! ;-)

[@RGT85]

I do need some more FPS action!
