Two New Jaguar Catalogs Added

[Albert]

I've just finished up putting two new Jaguar Catalogs online:

 

Atari Jaguar Catalog - 1993

 

This appears to be one of Atari's original catalogs for the Jaguar, as it only lists eight games. One of the games pictured, Tiny Toons Adventure, would never be released commercially. This catalog is light on content, with no information about the games pictured except for a single screenshot and the name of the each game. The back page of this catalog features a chart comparing the hardware capabilities of the Jaguar to the 3DO, Super Nintendo, and Genesis. There's also a brief mention of the Jaguar CD peripheral, although with little details and no pictures.

 

Atari Jaguar Magazine Catalog

 

This Jaguar catalog is presented in a 16 page 8 1/2" x 11" magazine format, unusual for catalogs produced by Atari (although a Lynx catalog was also released in this same style). While the front page of this catalog boasts "Over 50 New 64-bit Games Previewed!!" a good number of those titles are simply listed on the back page of the catalog as "Coming in 1995". This catalog probably takes the prize as having the largest percentage of games never to be released, with roughly one third of the 58 games listed not making it out the door.

 

Several games are given an entire page, such as Alien vs. Predator, Doom, Iron Soldier and Tempest 2000. Others must share a page with at most three other titles (not including the back page which features titles coming soon). In addition to descriptions of games, various Jaguar hardware is also detailed. There's even a picture and brief mention of the Jaguar VR Headset, shown as, "Coming Soon!" Backing up Atari's "Do the Math!" campaign is a chart comparing the Jaguar to the 3DO, 32X, Super Nintendo, and Genesis.

 

Enjoy!
