phonedork Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Per wiki! Some time later, Imagin Systems, a manufacturer of dental imaging equipment, purchased the molding plates for several of the Jaguar's casings as, with minor modification, they were the right size for housing their HotRod camera.[5] Even the game cartridge molds were reused to create an optional memory expansion card. Later product casings also bear a significant resemblance to the Jaguar. Wow! I guess the Jaguar has lived on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfranklin Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Very old news. Yeah, but how awesome is it having a 32bit dental camera? 32bit? Don't you mean 64bit? The Atari Jaguar was a 64bit console, sadly (and this is opinion), software developers didn't know how to write games back then to take full advantage of it's power. For example, the Val Gere Sking and Snowboarding game almost runs to fast to really enjoy. Though the Atari Jag was pitted about the PS1 and the SNES, neither of these systems could keep up with the Jag's performance! Personally, I'm glad someone found a useful purpose for the console design. I would love to see one of these in my dentist's office! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a bit hard when you are getting your teeth drilled though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+remowilliams Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Is that screen actually permanently mounted? No. It could be pretty easily done though. It doesn't come through in the pics but that RGB LCD is sharp as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGB LCD! it may be cool to be permanently mounted too, though not to convenient if you want to use the Jaguar normally as well. I'm sure it is sharp and colorful. I have my Jag connected to an Atari RGB monitor, and it's very sharp and colorful, i would imagine the new LCD tech is even sharper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Someone should make a Tooth Protectors or Plaque Attack games for the Jaguar to play on this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
