  • Do the math huh? Do the math on how many Jaguars were sold compared to the SNES you Basterds!

  • I totally agree w/you about the Tramiels. Those guys surely were not dedicated to the gaming industry. Just look at their piss poor support of the highly capable 7800.Their incompetance is still amazing to me to this day.What level of incompetance can one have to ruin a company that was loaded with the resources of PC's,home videogames,arcade games,and software all under a well established brand?Couple that w/in-house manufacturing and several patents.

  • Two processors of 32 bit Jaguar... Not true 64bits processor.

  • They did not advertise enough. The third party support was there...originally they had 300 developers. Once the developers saw how

    hard it would be to get the thing to run fast(lack of tools) they all ran the other way.

    Atari did nothing to help....like put any money left towards improving the tools.

    Us homebrewers have fix that issue. We just release a new set of tools that will allow

    mostly GPU only code and will also allow

    the GPU to run code out in main RAM. Something

    Atari didn't.

  • I agree. They should of advertised Tempest 2000 and the good graphics, and then mabye they would of gotten better views. Then, mabye improve of the controller and got more 3rd party support. If they did that, business would be great.

  • No you were mislead by the lies of

    the gaming mags and the over hype of

    the Tramiels. If only they put more enery

    into the Jaguar then flapping ther lips,

    we might have a Jag II or eevn a Jag II by now.

    They did not love the game market for the love of games. You cant expect to do well

    when your only motivation is money. Bushnell

    would have done better....at least he loved

    games.

  • I know, but I was stupid at that time.

  • There is a great substitute for great graphics......Its called great GamePlay.

    You should bet your head out of your ass and try it some time.

  • Hey Donky Kong Country fan......that is a 256

    color game using look up tables to achive its graphics. There is nothing to what that games does.....my credentials? I coded all three machines. The Jaguar crushes the Genny and SNES and Both Nintendo and Sega should thank God daily that Sam and Jack Tramiel ran Atari....the real reason the Jaguar failed.

    Incompetance, no tools to code with and no support at all from Atari.

  • Moron.....the Bus the Blitter and the OPL of the JAguar are 64 bits. The 68k is a boot processor. The Risc CPU's are 32 bits as there is absolutely no need for 64 bit math. the 64 bits is the ability to move 4 true color pixels at a time. Something niether NES or SNES or Benny cant do.
