My instant Atari Jaguar collection!

[Schiggidyd]

Hey guys, yesterday I got my first Atari Jaguar through craigslist. It's a pretty crappy system, but I actually enjoyed trying a few of these games. Here's a list and photo of what I got!

6361

System
7 controllers. 6 of them are in a box. 3 brand new!
2 Team Tap. Both are in boxes.
18 games. 13 of them complete!

Game and Manual
Cybermorph
Double Dragon V
Pitfall
Alien vs Predator
Troy Aikman Football

Complete games
Ruiner pinball
Val d'Isere Skiing and Snowboarding
White Men Can't Jump
Fight for Life
Tempest 2000
Dino Dudes
Checkered Flag
Attack of the Mutant Penguins
Flip Out!
Zool 2
Iron Soldier
Bubsy
Crescent Galaxy

Paid 160 for everything. Easily worth it considering a few of these games are actually worth more than I expected. Overall very happy with my set. Selling off all those extra controllers, who needs 7 controllers?

Any comments?

Yeah, thats a pretty major score. Unless I am mistaken Jaguar controllers sell for alot

[Schiggidyd]

Yeah and they have their boxes still, which is pretty awesome. They came from KB Toys, because they still have their stickers. The three in their boxes with baggies must have been new old-stock.

I agree that the system is kinda crappy, but you got some of the better games for sure; tempest, pitfall and aliens. You are all set

I'm checking out Atari Karts, it looks fun!

Nice find. Post it in the finds thread (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?166141-February-2013-finds)

You got to get yourself the rotary controller and play some tempest 2000. Also, if you are using the RF, there is a guy on ebay that makes the Rotary controller and a S-video cord. The jag looks much better using the SVideo, the rf on it sucks.

Also, I love Power Drive Rally. It is like a Micro Machines racing game, and very fun.

If you want to trade, send me an email. I need a few of those games and one of those multi-taps.

The system is not crappy most of the games are though

Ehh, I don't know, shouldn't a crappy library mean a crappy console? If we're talking the Jaguar hardware itself (the console architecture, I mean), despite its theoretical raw and uncrappy potential, it seems to have in actuality been a mess that Atari internally didn't even know what to do with. I remember reading somewhere that the dev kits that went out to game studios were woefully undercooked and buggy, so I don't really hold anything against the developers who wrote underwhelming software for the Jag for that and other reasons.

But that's beside the point. Nice score on that bundle of Jag stuff! I would have loved to open my Jaguar collection with that haul at that price.

Yeah dude your right, Atari rushed it and the development was ruined, so programmers didn't know how to utilize the system to the fullest. I read that they put lots of processing on the weaker processor (it has 2) which was meant for small tasks, often completely ignoring the 2nd processor (which was more powerful).
