Picture that: it's December 1994 and there's a platform on the US market which can run Doom flawlessly and a 3D game like Iron Soldier. The console costs only slightly more than an SNES or a Sega Genesis. There are great games for the system already available like Alien vs. Predator, Tempest 2000, Wolfenstein 3D, NBA Jam TE and Raiden. Kids can play platformers like Bubsy and Zool 2.

[@CUEBALL424]

Its easy to see why the Jaguar failed miserably after watching this list...

[@Zekium]

There's actually really good games on that list but here's the problem : The video's title is "TOP 25". And since those games are either non-exclusive, exist on a previous generation system or simply not impressive for the machine (remember : 64 bits was supposed to be better than 16 bits on the ads), that basically leave the machine only with : "Super Burnout" (scale sprites at the best), Power Drive Rally (Remind me Neo Drift out on Neo Geo), Tempest 2000 and Alien VS Predator.

[@jaytsosie92]

[@axelfoley20]

Atari made a huge mistake by putting that Motorolla 68000 in there to "manage" the 32 bit chips because most programmers lazily just used the Motorolla and that is why most of these games do not appear to be much better than Amiga and Sega Genesis games. They literally ported the code from those games that were on Genesis/Amiga.

[@thefurthestmanfromhome1148]

More powerful chips were considered over the 68000,but dropped due to cost issues.

[@CFWhitman]

@@thefurthestmanfromhome1148 That's not really the point. The point is that by making a 68000 available in the system they gave developers a shortcut to releasing games for the Jaguar without developing anything that even accessed the 32 and 64 bit chips that made the system more powerful than the 16 bit systems that came before. The chip was supposed to just handle input and management tasks, but whole 16 bit games could run on it easily, so developers ran whole games on it and ignored the more powerful custom chips. Of course, development that did take advantage of the powerful (at the time) custom chips in the Jaguar was much more work. When Sony released a system (Playstation) that was easy to develop for, they really had an easy time attracting developers. Sega had done that with the Genesis, but dropped the ball with the Saturn, which was also notoriously difficult to develop for while still taking advantage of its power.

[@robertnilsson7063]

Ok, When I saw the video I wondered why the huge quality span. Games that could have been made 1984 side by side with high quality games such as doom. But you answered my question, thanks.

[@ArneChristianRosenfeldt]

The 68k is a liability. Atari should have produced a JRISC CPU. The reduced instruction set makes this easy. Instead of debugging microcode, they could use 64 x 64 registers. Instructions are despatched at high frequency. The only thing which needs to run at this frequency is the 64 bit score board . Running instructions mark the registers they use there. Other instructions block if they want to access these. Thanks to a lot of registers, the compiler can optimize the order of the instructions. It would be fun if blocked instructions had their own scoreboard. Then the CPU would not block, but skip. Every time a blocking register becomes available, the CPU retries the first blocked instruction. You don’t get this when you reuse binaries from Atari ST.

[@n0_XcusZ]

As a teen, I remember seeing the Atari Jaguar in small sections of stores back in 1993. The fact that it was a 64-bit system raised a lot of eyebrows. But Nintendo/Sega at this point had become the dominate force in the industry. Plus, Nintendo/Saga had excellent first party titles along with strong third party support that Atari was lacking at that time. Even back in 1993 people myself included was already looking at Atari from a nostalgic point of view trying to get back into the console business. Looking back 20/20 Tempest 2000 should have come bundled with that system.

[@jasont6287]

Plus dev support for developing games for it was terrible and it was hard to develop games for it i dont think the hardware was really pushed to see what it could do unlike the ps1 and n64

AvP footage is from an emulator. You can tell from the black boxes around the enemy sprites. Also, Wolf 3D footage is not from the Jaguar version, as has been stated here. And finally, I question if that Pitfall footage is the Jaguar version. It actually looks smoother than the Jag version.

[@robertmcmillan3638]

Jaguar had a lot of potential that wasn't explored because of the industry's love affair with all things Nintendo. Early Megadrive/ Genesis games like Super Thunderblade, Last Battle etc Didn't look as good as some of these Jaguar games and look at the success that Sega's console became because it was supported by the game developers. Atari seem to be able to launch products but can't seem to get or keep game developers on board.

[@humansrants1694]

It had a bug in it's CPU bad dev kits no developer support.

[@robertmcmillan3638]

Well, that's the problem afflicting tech industries. Remember when there was 4 major mobile phone platforms? (Apple, Android, Blackberry and Windows). How is any company expected to get "support"? Huge sums of cash and threats no doubt, hence why Nintendo has lasted so long......or maybe they're the nice guys and it is everyone else in the industry that resorted to terrible practices in order to compete? 🙄

[@777Eliyahu]

I think the only love affair was install base and proven sales. That's the been the death knell for almost everyone that has tried to break into the market. Developers abandon the platform before of a poor install base, and then the install base never recovers because of a lack of games.

[@sebastiankulche]

Personally i think Doom was the best looking game on the Jaguar. Best port at the time alongside PS1 and still plays very decently with multiplayer support. In terms of 3d, it wasnt exploited unfortunately. And in 2d it was a SNES in steroids.

[@wizzgamer]

@@sebastiankulche All Doom ports of the time were also based on the Jaguar version using its code as a base that's how good it was considered at the time 😊

Missile command was my shit back in the day. I play almost exclusively, Elite Dangerous now unless I whip out the PS1/PS2 or older consoles; but when I was little, my dad scored this jaguar console from a friend, and at the time PS1 had just come out & N64 was pretty much dominating the market already which I had one already, but I got so addicted to Missile Command; its so simple in its graphics, asthetics, gameplay, yet I was as invested in it as I am in elite now.

Jaguar had a second CPU a 16bit one same as in the Genesis Atari didn't provide dev kits and support to games studios and the main CPU had a bug, so the games makers used the 16bit CPU as its main CPU.

The Jaguar is Not a good Console but it not a bad either it would have been better if they would have released project Panther the 32-bit console and not rush this one's​ released they could have hold it off until 1996 they would have sweep the floor with the other companies but by Atari rushing the Jaguar they ruin everything I think the the major problem with the console is that it's a 64-bit console if it would have been branded as a 32-bit console it wouldn't have gotten that much hate especially how the graphics of the games​ but people have to cut it some slack it was the first 64-bit console something never touched upon before another issue is how the third party supporters just backed off and let the consul to die but it's all history now hopefully the Ataribox well do better the Jaguar but sadly we will never see the panther 😢 BTW Good Video and sorry for write too much

[@wizzgamer]

True I think the Panther should have been released as it was completely finished the problem was at the time Jack Tramiel who bought Atari was more of a PC guy than console so the company was poorly managed it started going badly for Atari when the launch of the 7800 was delayed due to Jack Tramiel taking over the company as it was originally gonna be launched a few months before the Famicom/NES with a bigger budget so who knows what could have happened there. The Jaguar was a decent console just difficult to develop for and Atari had bad relations with 3rd party developers so couldn't convince enough to come on board sadly. As for the Atari box it looks like it's going to be some sort of steam box or Nvidia shield type console lets hope it does well, thanks for watching :)

[@yukatoshi]

The Jaguar needed quite a few changes to be viable. IMO these were some. 1) Lack of RAM. 2MB overall was not enough. It should of been 3 or 4MB. 2) Cache for the CPU. John Carmack suggested 4KB which sounds about right. 3) The CD-Drive should have been built in from the start. 4) The 6 button controller should have been used from the start, without the gay phone pad. 5) Decent development kits. The ones they had sucked. 6) A hard core effort to get big-name Japanese devs onboard. Capcom, Namco, Square etc. A version of say Ridge Racer or some other 3D arcade game could of done wonders. 7) Better build quality.

[@FantasyVisuals]

@@yukatoshi there were all many problems with the Jag. Poor development tools , step by values in the blitter ( should have been step by step then it could be used for texture mapping ) Risc chips that couldn't access main Ram , with tiny inbuilt Ram (4 + 8 in ? GTF out ) It was lousy , but had some great technological specs , 24 bit colour , compared to the PSX puny 32000 on screen . NICE ! Should have had an extra register in the GPU according to one main developer because it kept stalling !

[@ytanonymity3585]

Piece of shit console...get over it...

[@erikkarsies4851]

@@FantasyVisuals If I see the architecture of the Jaguar it was clearly developed with a 68030 in mind (or perhaps a 68020) If I remember Motorola didn't want to commit to Atari to keep producing those in such numbers for a cheap enough price.. For Motorola even the 68030 seemed to be almost eol at that point in time and they were developing the PowerPC already in 1992. A shame cause afterwards there still was a market for 680x0 in the embedded market so Motorola could have made those commitments and if it fell through sell them to other customners. The maxium size of only 6 Mb for the cartridges was bigger problemen than the 2Mb Ram at that time I think. But raising one of those two would probably have ment lowering the other because of the limited of 16 Mb adressable memory in total with the 24 bit adress registers on the 68000. The buffer sizes were probably fine tuned to a far better CPU also. Since with that the data could have gone through the CPU with 32 bit instead of 16 bit at the time. When the CD was finally released it was absolutely garbage... So if it was included a year before it would have ment even shorter development time and even more design flaws in it. I'm convinced if the cartridge would have had a N64 size like 64 Mb it wouldn't have been an issue. For that time that should have been enough ... for instance the NEO GEO had a maximum of 90 mb and combined with a 68030 so a lot of those games could be ported to the Jaguar at ease. That would have be so much better than 2 lame conversions of Defender and other conversions of early 80s games.

I've owned a Jag and it is one of my fav consoles. I can't pin down why really, it's just something so mytical about it. The ads were promising next gen extreme games but the games themselves where in 90% of the cases pure crap. The first party titles were the worst funny enough and always seemed to be lazy ripoffs of something that was popular elsewhere(like mk, virtua racer etc) which were given next to no budget and like a months development time. Money where however spent on crazy project like the cd add on, virtual reality helmet and a voice modem! There are some good games on the Jag but can't really come up with one that is reason enough to buy one. Rayman is probably for me the best title but can be had elsewhere for a couple of bucks. Black Ice/White noice could have been a cool game if it was finished for example but well, we never will know I guess :)

[@mcopanzan]

It wasn't just horrible, it was a fucking train wreck. Think about it, these are the "Top25 games" for it.... pause for laughter. Even the worst games on playstation and saturn looked multiple times better, and most crappy Genesis/Snes/TurvoGraphix16 games were more polished and looked and played better. It was hard to code for, boo fucking hoo, NeoGeo was also hard to code (assember code) for with two Cpus, 3gpus and a yamaha sound chip (6 chips on the console), and later on additional chips built into the cartridges for expended abilities, mostly fighter and shooter games, but it still produced a ton of amazing games and it extremely valuble these days, with some rare games selling for over 10K US. Meenwhile the Jaguar is not worth the toiletpaper it need to wipe its shit games.

Some people criticize Atari's use of the Motorola 68000 CPU as a system house-keeping chip, as many lazy developers simply ported their 16-bit games over using only the 68000. However I take a different view. There have been many aftermarket releases for the Jaguar which have ported Atari ST games over because both systems used the 68000. For example Star Wars Arcade takes everything from the ST release except the sound effects, voice samples, and music. They've been taken directly from the arcade game. The ST has a much larger game library than does the Jaguar. The Jag can use all the games that it can get.

Looking at the Jaguar games reminds me of the Saturn games. Given time, maybe Jaguar developers would have learnt to write better more optimised code for it. when you compare launch titles on the Saturn to later games, the difference is huge.

Especially since the complicated hardware gave developers problems making optimized games taking full advantage of the jags hardware. Very similar to the Saturns hardware which was better optimized for 2d games rather then 3d which obviously was the future.

That fucking music that plays between games...jesus!

[@boiledliddo]

Defender 2000 and Skyhammer looks good. i like those kind of games. :))

[@avjaarsveldt]

Except for Alien vs Predator, no wonder the Jaguar falied :'(

[@jumpsteady1777]

I'd you aren't from this generation it's hard to understand that having a 3d space to explore was so groundbreaking that graphics could take a slight back seat and it was still over the top impressive. If I were only 15 or something I would have trouble conceptualizing a market with almost no 3d environment games. More so for console gaming. 1993 to 1997 when n64 really perfected the feel of it, a 3d game was a groundbreaking take.

[@PatriotPlus179]

That Super Mario on N64 was benchmark for sure! Mario Kart was so fun. I tell you what system I had that none of my friends did. Sega Saturn. I loved that thing. I was surprised it wasn't marketed better.

[@jumpsteady1777]

I never remember seeing a ton of Sega marketing but my world at home life was much a Nintendo home mostly. Had a friend or 2 with sega consoles where I got my lion king and sonic experiences. Showing up for this video I definitely have a bias toward the atari jaguar. My 3 games were alien v pred, doom, and iron soldier. 3 solid games and 2 arguable the consoles best hits. Just the fact I could kick back on the edge of my bed and play Doom on my TV screen with a controller in hand was a big deal. As others mention, as long as you can live without in game music, it was one of the best ports. Sometimes I'd just take in how amazing the graphics on my TV looked and that I was really playing an interactive video game lol. All 3 mentioned games felt like beautiful cutting edge games at the time for console play and roaming their 3d spaces was so immersive. Ps. I absolutely 120% recommend doom without music (aka how the Jag version is by default). The tracks are great jams but you'll hear them alot. Especially if it's a genuine fresh experience. What's terrifying is hearing pinky demon moans faintly and getting louder for minutes on end. There I'd alot of subtle sound you'd never hear without silence.

Microsoft flight sim, Castle Master, Comanche. No ground broken

[@mr_snrub]

Where did you learn to fly?

[@fabianernestopacheco]

Rayman was out of its time definitely!

[@ResidentNotEvil5]

The should have stick 16 bit like Nintendo and Sega because 1991 with 64 bit jaguar unstable console which lead them to bankruptcy

[@wizzgamer]

The Jaguar was released in 1993 so making the console 16-bit would have made it under powered as Atari new that the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn were just around the corner as well as the 32-bit 3DO already being on the market. Their big mistake was making it have a complicated 64-bit architecture they should have built the console around the much more simpler but still powerful risc based processors used in the 3DO and PS1 to help get 3rd party developers on board. Another mistake was cancelling the Atari Panther a 32-bit system due for release in 1991 then they could have gave themselves more time to work on the Jaguar and maybe released it in 1995 with easier to develop hardware.

[@vacuumnoise]

the clip for missile command 3D lolz

[@ThePougetAlexandre]

I don't understand people who compare the Jaguar to the N64: the Jaguar came out almost 3 years before and was the first console to run Doom (best version after the PS1's, way better than the 3DO's and the Saturn's), comparably to a 486DX33 for a tenth of the price. But Atari sucked (as well as Commodore and even later Sega).

[@LegendoftheDragonSword]

Ultra Vortek, Dragon: Bruce Lee Story, Syndicate, Brutal Sports Football & Fever Pitch Soccer were decent titles. I probably only own about a dozen games for this system and 6 of them are in the top 7 on this list lol. Jaguar was worth it for the PC style games at the time - Flashback, Syndicate, Doom, Wolfenstein 3D. Raiden, Fever Pitch Soccer & Super Burnout saw the most play at my house.

[@becorky]

Were did you learn to make lists

[@wizzgamer]

Self taught.

[@becorky]

no it a joke because uhh never mined

[@youdontneedtoseehisidentif4939]

Don't worry, some of us understood ;)

[@XV250]

LOL!

[@Markis5150]

Better than PS4. PS4 ain't got no games.

[@wizzgamer]

True this probably had more exclusives than the PS4 has presently which isn't saying much as most of the PS4's best games like GTAV and The Last of Us etc are just remastered titles from last gen the only exclusive I have played so far is Uncharted 4 which is a fantastic game.

[@Markis5150]

Yep. PS4 is so dull,so boring. 95% of its games are elsewhere. They have a few good games but theyre just spinning out Uncharted so much now I'm not interested anymore. AVP,Tempest,Defender2k,Zero5,BattleSphere,BattleMorph,SuperBurmout,Protector. I just much prefer the Jag over Sony's machine. Preference I guess but for me the PS4 just doesn't excite me.

[@atoaster9940]

ratchet & clank uncharted 4, crash bandicoot n sane trilogy, death stranding, final fantasy 6 remake, final fantasy XII, god of war, gran turismo sport, the last of us part 2, shenmue 3, spider man, uncharted the lost legacy, batman arkham vr, bloodborne, gravity rush, horizon zero dawn, infamous second sun, journey, killzone shadow fall, kingdom hearts HD 1.5 2.5, the last guardian. should I go on?

Muhammad saws war pädophil na und? oh for fucks sake. I don't even want to argue with you

[@atoaster9940]

Muhammad saws war pädophil na und? and liking your comment isn't helping a lot.

[@7805jrg]

Question what year did this come out, I never hears of this

[@wizzgamer]

JG Jg The Atari Jaguar released in 1993 and was discontinued in 1995 it was Ataris final home console and was a huge commercial failure causing them to be sold to another company to pay of their debts.

[@FuerzaAzteca1000]

Where is Attack of Mutant Penguins, Fight For Life, NBA JAM Tournament Edition, and Fever Pitch Soccer?. Does are good games too!.

[@wizzgamer]

They are good games but these are better :)

[@FuerzaAzteca1000]

wizzgamer Well NBA JAM easily could be on any one Jaguar top 20 or 25 games.

[@wizzgamer]

@Josue ortiz I agree NBA Jam should have made the list however I wasn't aware that the game was on the Jaguar when I made this video in fact not until you mentioned it.

[@FuerzaAzteca1000]

wizzgamer Lol okay.

[@XV250]

Well, one of those four is a good game anyhow.

[@JamieCowan-cc5xc]

I've never owned a jaguar but the games are cool

[@Anchoa79]

Where are Sensible Soccer and NBA Jam T.E.? The funniest games of the system, by far...

[@malimetal]

Los juegos en estilo realidad virtual estaban buenos, Atari en ese estilos de juegos siempre destaco........ No se si desapareció o se asocio a otra empresa.

[@smilesgirl17]

Jesus fuck half of these make me feel on the brink of an epileptic seizure

[@yayoi_blade]

スカイハンマーあんま面白くなさそうだけど時代先取りしてた感あってすき 画面カッコよすぎ

[@thee1jones449]

I didn't even know they put out 25 games for that sorry excuse for a paperweight....!!!!!!

[@captainkirk5622]

Atari needed a crazy mascot like sonic (Sega) or Mario (Nintendo) it would have helped and a cheaper price, just a thought.

[@VapVapor]

You showed PC wolfenstein 3D on purpose didn't you. I have an atari jaguar and a copy of the jaguar version and that CLEARLY was PC version or the 360 arcade port of the PC version. I did see a lot of my favorite games though.

[@wizzgamer]

I used PC footage as I was having trouble capturing footage of the Jaguar version.

[@VapVapor]

Ooooooooh...thats kind of makes sense now sorry for complaing XD

[@wizzgamer]

No worries mate thanks for watching :)

[@pauljackson8930]

Apart from Rayman, they all looked appalling.

[@djvaiosmusicchannelandmore2971]

Kasumi ninja?

[@JimGryp]

Games that I owned and were fucking awesome were cybermorph, sensible soccer, kazumi ninja & myst. Surprised they are not in the list

[@devinmccane8343]

If this is Jaguar’s top 25 lineup then no wonder it failed 😂

[@masterskeletor662]

wow. i just got finished putting my lynx games in a folder thinking man what went wrong how could this library be so weak?? then i started on jaguar...

[@masterskeletor662]

i will say that flashback looked incredible on jaguar. if this system had a library it might have been sth but alas.. nope. nintendo and their 3rd party wars but did they really think defender 3000 was gonna be a worthwhile exclusive title to launch a system?

[@G_Grenouille]

Imagine, it's christmas morning, you open your gifts, you see that big square box, hoping it's the PS1 that you asked for, but instead it's the Jaguar. Man, this is depressing. This system is pure garbage. How in the world, would anyone want this. For real.

[@pulpofman]

all of these are clones or cross console

[@nekbiodieselworks]

The N64 was far superior to this

[@johndow9291]

Ray man and Pitfull were the best and challenging

[@ComarYoungPoche]

Rayman and Worms !!! 👌👍✌💜

[@noahbianchi1920]

I was young in 1993 but these don’t look any better than I remember Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo to be. Many look like rebaked Atari 5200 games.

[@BeNzO-KaZoOiE]

8:03 is that Cyberpunk?

[@garygray1130]

Ray man or Doom should have been number one

[@hypertasic9297]

WHERE IS CYBERMORPH???????

[@d.vaughn8990]

Personally, I love Cybermorph! “Where did you learn to fly?!” The Jaguar is underrated! Yes it had problems, but the real problem, is/was people want to kick dirt in the face of Atari.

[@jojomendoza6761]

Nice

[@tomaszdarski7270]

Numer 24 0:38 This game from terminator 2 film :)

[@wisage3]

32x >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jaguar.

[@Gorilla_Jones]

LOL no

[@coleshores]

You are smoking crack

[@ytanonymity3585]

Jaguar sucked ass big time. Fuck Atari. I honestly hate them more than MS whatsoever

[@wisage3]

How many games you can play in Jaguar? 3? In the 32x are so many cool games: Chaotix, Virtua Fighter, Virtua Racing, WWF WrestleMania, Doom, Blackthorne...

[@Hmbs271]

I wish the video quality was better though
