To list a few ways: <snippity snip> To me the Jaguar has always had curb appeal. I've wanted one for as long as i can remember and still do. The home-brew scene is awesome; which is why i'd argue the system has a bigger impact on gaming and specifically retro gaming now than it ever did before. I assume you made most of the above up?

DoTheMath Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 The Jag is still kicking. People still make games and the console's price has skyrocketed. Can't say the same about a lot of others... It's easy to trash on it but it's time people don't allocate to new systems/other systems so i'd say that even the haters love the Jag...

Flojomojo Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 @Adriano Arcade I'm listening to your glorious mess of a discussion now! It's unfocused and silly, but enjoyable nonetheless. I'm about halfway through but felt I had to weigh in, because, you know, opinions. There's a persistent post hoc fallacy running through it. Just because Jaguar had a phone-dial keypad and Playstation did not doesn't mean that Sony got a "second mover advantage." Sony's machine was in the works for a long time and I seriously doubt they were looking to Tramiel Atari for design cues. To focus on home consoles without considering what PC hardware and other consumer electronics were doing at the time is a mistake. Pretty much anything on any game console was done first on a computer. I think there are exactly 3 home consoles with a "legacy" work mentioning. 1. Atari 2600 Programmable, tradeable games, lots of variety, licensed characters and arcade games. Swappable controllers, many different modes. Pushed way past its original hardware specs thru clever software. 2. Nintendo Entertainment System Hardware scrolling, digital control pads, peripheral gimmicks. Managed third parties and extensive licensing. Brought the industry back from the dead. 3. Sony PlayStation Bridge between digital media and mainstream gaming, cheap manufacturing for discs, very large developer pool. Programming libraries for easy game making. I put to you that the interstitial systems were just enhancements of what had come before (Intellivision and Colecovision were like a super Atari, Genesis and Super Nintendo were like a ...well you can guess, and Xbox and Xbox 360 and Xbox One were like a super Playstation). We are unlikely to see a modern "legacy" game console, because they're increasingly undifferentiated, more like specialized PCs that run software as a subscription service. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatah Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) No one knows of the jag except for retrogaming enthusiasts. So no legacy to be left at all. System was a waste of time then as it is now. Edited July 30, 2019 by Keatah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Legacy? Sure. A footnote in gaming history of something Atari, a significant gaming company in video gaming, did for the 16/32/64 bit era. Innovations in graphics, sound, etc. Like the Lynx, all that power, with a price, used before the cost of all was at a price many were willing to pay. But the innovation of Atari is seen time and again. Some noteworthiness on the multimedia aspect, the ability to add a CD unit, play movie files and so on. Noteworthy games: Tempest 2000 - the one many talk about who even barely know of the Jaguar. Defender 2000 - Jeff Minter fans love to bring this one up. Rayman - Developed for the Jaguar first. Doom - One of the best and smoothest running ports of its time. Iron Soldiers 1 and 2 - Unique to the Jaguar. Raiden - One of the best ports of the game for it's time. Often noted. Bubsy: Fractured Furry Tales - unique to the Jaguar, and something Bubsy fans long to play. The fans development scene in years since the Jaguar's run I believe added the most to the Jaguar's legacy. Overall, the Jaguar is both famous and infamous, which tells me that the Jaguar did achieve legeacy status one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much anything on any game console was done first on a computer. It's especially relevant as I always assumed the phone-dial keypad was not a nod to ColecoVision or Intellivision - who cared about them at the time? - but was designed for first person shooters. It was the most popular 3D genre back then and weapons were always selected with top row number keys. On consoles one had to cycle through them with one or two buttons, until Halo finally had the idea to limit the amount of weapons one can carry at the same time. The Jaguar was maybe the perfect system for early first person shooters like Wolfenstein or Doom (with 2D sprites), but the genre evolved quickly with games like Quake that could only be ported to PlayStation or Saturn. Jaguar's timing (and math) was off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new Bubsy games since 2017 I've found... one or two more fans. . The Bubsy Discord server has 146 members currently. And many of those people are wanting to try FFT on the Jaguar if they can afford a Jaguar at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
