I love the Jaguar

[Ite]

I don't know what it is about it but I love this system, maybe since it was such a failure but I was around the right age to enjoy alot of the games, Kasumi Ninja, Doom, AVP, Cannon Fodder, etc. I love playing these games now after not playing them since 1994.

 

Who else is with me show your love to the Jag here.

I think the one reason I like the Jaguar so much was the uniqueness of it. But there are many systems that fit this unique category, like the Nintendo Virtual Boy and the Nuon are two that come to mind. But the Jaguar had a fairly good library, and there is a lot of development possibilities. And until I hear otherwise, Atari (Hasbro) released the Jaguar to public domain.

 

The Jaguar has shown what it can do (Tempest, Doom, Battlesphere), but still remains a system full of possibility and untapped potential.

[Atari5200]

I loved the Jag too, that is until I started actively collecting for it, which I've now stopped. Back when it came out I loved it, I already had a SNES but liked the Jag because it was different. The more games I got the worse my opinion became of the Jag and now it's my 2nd hated system of all time, even my Game.com ranks higher. So I agree with you yes and no. I loved it in the beginning, but now, it sits on a shelf gathering dust. So i'm the opposite, loved it in the beginning when I was younger and not actively collecting, now that I am collecting, not so much.

Those three titles are not using all the power either. The authors of each have stated clearly that is the case.

The Jaguar was the right thinking in design...implementaion of that design is another story.

Don't pay him no heed.. he's a well known troll round here.

how is having an opinion being a troll? so everybody that has a negative experience and opinion of the Jag is a troll? Give me a break. I'm done with this thread as I don't need it to be mistrewed into a Jag bashing thread which it is NOT, but AtariOwl will try to turn it into one.

Yes, it's an opinion and it's your right to have it, and I'm not trying to start a flame war either, but it IS trolling becuase this guy started the thread saying he loves the Jaguar and ask for other to reply sharing his feeling of "showing love for the Jaguar" and sure enough, you come along and blantantly bash it. EXACTLY what the guy DIDN'T ask for. That, in my opinion, TROLLING in it's most obvious form. Like theold saying, "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" which pertains to just this situation. You could have held your "tounge" or at least started your own thread. But that's not what trolls do, is it?

 

There are plenty of systems which I hate too, but I don't go to the forums for them and say I hate them, becuase these forums are made for FANS of the systems, not haters, and to do so is the EPITOME of trolling, There is no reason to even visit a forum of a system you don't like and aren't interested in unless you ARE a troll.

He was absolutely NOT trolling. I thought his post was well stated. You guys seem to label anyone who says anything remotely "negative" about the Jaguar as a troll, which is totally uncalled for and unfair. It makes this a hostile forum.

 

The forum, and the topic, are and is open to all. Anyone may post in it. Just because someone's opinion differs from yours gives you no right to label them a "troll."

 

I own a Jaguar. I have for many years. I have more than 50 games. I wanted to like the Jaguar. I've been an "Atarian" all my life. I've never even owned a Nintendo system. The Jag has a few good games, but most of its games stink. Without games like Tempest, Battlesphere and a few others, and the VLM built into the CD unit, there would be no point to owning the system at all.

 

I mean, you can go on and on about hardware specs all you want. In the end, it's the games that matter, and the Jag fell woefully short in that all important department. Fortunately, it does have a few gems that make it worth having - but it's like trying to find diamonds in a pile of cow dung. So I can fully understand Atari5200's post - he went into it excited, but as he experienced the Jag's many bad games, his excitement wore off.

[SINGLE TOOTH]

I love my Jag nearly every night.

 

But seriously, It's impossible to enjoy a Game.Com system more than a Jaguar no matter who you are.

 

Just my 2 cents, no need to get enraged.

[Gunstar]

[ So I can fully understand Atari5200's post - he went into it excited, but as he experienced the Jag's many bad games, his excitement wore off.

 

That's fine, but if he hates the system, why even bother visiting a forum dedicated to that system? I hate systems, but I don't waste my time visiting their forums. There is no reason except to be a troll, unless, like this guys thread he started, where he's looking for info on the value of the system, that's fine. If you can't find any redeeming qualities in a system, why bother even talking about it? you, at least, like some of the jaguar's games, even if overall you don't think it's a good system. But if you don't like the Jaguar overall, have you ever asked yourself why you bother hanging out in a forums designed for people who DO like the system, whether it's "open to all" or not, why bother if you don't like it?

For example, I've never liked any Nintendo system except the N64, and becuase I don't like them, I don't bother ever visiting Nintendo forums, it's simple as that. Another example for me is right here at AtariAge; I am mainly into the Atari 8-bit, ST and Jaguar, and though I like the other systems, I'm not into them like the above three, so when I come to Atariage, I only ever visit the Jaguar, ST and 8-bit forums, because the other forums don't interest me. I'll play those systems once in a while, but I'm not interested in talking about them like the others, so I don't visit their forums.

Honestly, I feel kind of bad about it. I had a friend who had one when I was in high school (around the time it was out). I think maybe 92-93 something like that... I was a freshman / sophmore. I had played the system and thought it was pretty cool. Although I really liked the Atari 2600 when I was a little kit, my complete interest in Atari didn't really happen until after I was a bit older. But, I can remember having a conversation with someone in one of my history classes. The guy was telling me how awesome Doom was on his Atari Jaguar, and I was telling him that he was an idiot for buying that system because the only decent games for it were also available on the PC which were better anyway.

 

Heh.. anyway... I feel bad now in hindsight, but oh well... what can I say. That was then, this is now. I really like the system (everything Atari).

I grew up with the 2600. I never had a 5200, 7800, Lynx or Jaguar during their production life. My first computer was a 600XL. I've never owned a Nintendo system of any kind. I'm an Atarian. That's why I hang out here.

 

I do own all the systems now - even an 800XL and an XEGS. I pretty much use them all. I have a Jag and a Jag CD. I have roughly 50 games for it, including a first run copy of Battlesphere, which I recently could have sold for a good price, but ultimately chose to keep - not for its value, but because it's a good game and gives reason to own a Jag. I like the Jag because it's an Atari system. It has some good games. It sits on top of my entertainment center - has for years - and I use it occasionally, maybe a bit more recently. It comes and goes.

 

I'm a registered user here. I have been for a long time. I view any forum I want. I post or respond when I have something to say. I don't think I've ever said if the Jag is a good "system" or not. I have said it has a more than average number of totally bad games, but a few gems or just good games that make having one worthwhile. Heck, I even count a ported game like Zoop among them - sure, I could get it and play it on my Genesis, but then I'd have to take my Genesis out of the closet. A system is only as good as its games, not its bus width or processors. Whether you like the Jaguar or not, there are certain realities about it that can't be denied.

 

There are systems I don't like or don't have interest in. But saying you "hate" a system is a poor use of such a strong word. You may dislike it, or not be interested in it, but to actually "hate" a game system?

 

And as far as I can tell, this forum is for people to discuss the Atari Jaguar. It is not designed solely for those who like the system, or are only of one opinion. All viewpoints should be allowed, and discussed civilly, without anyone who dares offer a contrary opinion being labeled a troll and insulted. Quickly and frequently labeling someone a "troll" is a kind of behavior that's as bad as real trolling itself. Discuss the subjects, not the people.

The "hate" part was I refering to Atari5200 (the poster not the system), not you. He's the one that stated he "hates" the Jaguar and that's what I was refering too. I did just notice that I personally said I "hate" nintendo systems, I didn't mean to use that word, it jucst came out becuase the word was in my head from Atari5200 saying he "hates" the Jaguar. I meant I don't like Nintendo systems (again except for the n64) but like you like some Jaguar games, I too, like some Nintendo games (e.g., on the SNES). I too have been an Atarian for about 22 years, becuase I've liked all the systems and computers they released, not just because I "chose too." I bought the Jaguar becuase I'm an Atarian, but I love the Jaguar because it has a lot of games I think are very good and unique, and I'm quite aware there are bad ones too. but I didn't become a Jaguar "fanboy" just becuase it was made by Atari, i became one becuase it has games on it that I like more than games on other systems, and becuase it's unique and different, and becuase I have the will to choose liking a system for it's own merits and not becuase it's the "in thing" to like, like all the most popular systems. I don't follow the crowd. My comments above were replying to your post, but directed at Atari5200, not you, and I do think he's a troll if he "hates" the Jaguar but decides to hang out and post here anyway, becuase it is my belief that that would be the only reason to hang out in a forum dedicated to something one hates; to troll.

You can generalise about us guys as much as you like.. the fact is he's been a troll before under a previous id which he has admitted was him.. he's doing it again.. think what YOU like

Guys, he is what he is. I speak negative a bout the Jaguar all the time just

not in the manner a troll does. Shit, John Mathiassen the creator of the chips

called it 'weak', I dont think he meant it totally sucked though!.

[Pete5125]

I don't know I think the Atari Jaguar's love has more to do with it being a 64 bit Atari and that it is the best that Atari ever offered. I mean it wasn't even the best platform in the race of systems between the 16 bit generation (Genesis, SNES, Turbo-16) and the true Next Generation (Sega Saturn, Sony Playstation, and N64).

 

If I took Atari's name off the system and just refered to it as the Jaguar where would it rank in the pre-32Bit generation which I would say is (Sega 32X, 3d0, CD-i, and Neo Geo). Without Atari's name attached probably it would rank a little higher than CD-i. Face it 3D0 while it had a ton of clunker games still has a higher amount of 4 star game then the Jag. 32X is the only system to have less games than the Jag but every game on the system is a 3 to 4 star title. Neo-Geo every game is arcade perfect.

 

Yeah my love for Jaguar has everything to do w/ it being a 64 bit Atari, I love when people come by and say "Atari made a 64 bit system, wow?", the 2nd question is and it played CD's too. Truely few know of an Atari other than the 2600 or the Lynx. Thats just the way it is, and the younger generation (people in their early 20's or younger can't remeber a system before the NES).

 

 

My only wish is that Atari would of embrased their legacy more and been like Sega and Nintendo and brought out more games that were updates of old Atari games...They had the library why not use it.

Agreed. Without Atari's name on it, I doubt I'd have much interest in the Jaguar. Systems are about the games, but equally, I prefer playing them on the actual hardware - the Atari hardware, whether it's the joy of flipping the 2600's toggles, the huge beauty that is the 5200, or the... well, something, of the 7800. I'd say the same goes for the Lynx - no "Atari" stamped on it, probably not much interest.

 

And how one defines "best system" is another can of worms. The Jag may be the most advanced technologically, whether that technology was appropriately used or not, but "best" is a subjective determination and subject to any of many measures.

Nail on the head with a sledge hammer!

 

This is why I feel the jaguar really failed. Remember what the Tramiels said at first. The Jaguar will bring back

those legacy titles. Why they did not do it? They did not want to be Atari anymore. The Tramiels figured trying to

be like Nintendo and Sega was the thing to do. Ignoring the fact that they own some of the best classic gaming

assest of all time. Classic gaming formula that relied on playability becasue no one had much choice. GPU's

did not even exist that far back in arcade machines. the CPU did everything. The video chip simply decoded the

image data. It did not have sprites at first or an of those things. The CPU was truly the CPU. Because of these

limits, if a game was not fun, it failed. This is why the Jaguar failed...it did not have titles like...

 

 

I Robot

Gravatar

Asteroids

Centipede

StarShip

 

Monte Carlo

Night Driver

(These two would have had to have been better than Club Drive or Checkered Flag!)

 

Crystal Castles

 

These games in 3D or at very least 24 bit rendered 2D versions is what was needed for crying out loud. That is

a very tiny sample of the games Atari owned from back then. I think there are around 70 titles that Atari today

still owns. I think an updated Asteroids should have been the pack in. you gotta think some of the 2600 sucess

with that title release would work somewhat back then. Remember indeed Jaguar was accepted at its release

quite warmly. I remember everyone anticipating updated classics. As time went on the warm welcome grew

cold rather quickly.

[OldSchoolGamer88]

I don't know what it is about it but I love this system, maybe since it was such a failure but I was around the right age to enjoy alot of the games, Kasumi Ninja, Doom, AVP, Cannon Fodder, etc. I love playing these games now after not playing them since 1994.

 

Who else is with me show your love to the Jag here.

 

I just wanted to add that I feel your same feelings toward the Jaguar. I think it is a great games machine and that it is very muchb overlooked and underrated. It definitally doesnt deserve all the hate that it gets. I have had to sell off my jag collections twice...(small collections each time) due to $$ problems but keep comming back. It is a great system IMO. Now that I have a Jag again I am keeping it forever. I will not let this one go.

 

Just wanted to put my love for this system as well out there and let you know that you are definitally not alone as a happy Jaguar owner.

The Jaguar is one of my top 3 favorite all time systems, and not because of just a few great games. Not many people have a Jaguar, so it's fun having a niche system first of all. There were many interesting and brand new ideas explored with the games, which makes it kind of fun to try them all out even if they didn't all turn out to be top tier quality, and sometimes they weren't even any fun.

 

Also, I think the Jag is a super system to collect for, with a good pricing curve, I mean for the most part with the Jag, the better the game, the more you are going to pay, but even the greats aren't out of range for anybody (except for the absurd Battlesphere). The collector in me also appreciates the awesome box art design for the games, the boxes really do look nice lined up together on a shelf, I guess I like the uniformity. Compare it to a large Genesis collection which can be a big rainbow-like mess.

 

Of course there's lots of bad things to talk about with the Jag, but why bother at this point? It's not in the middle of some system war.
