Well, I had refrained from joining in on this thread, simply because I have such little experience with the Saturn I didn't think I could fairly judge it. But it was annoying to see such a consistent slamming of the Jaguar, and I think I can easily offer up several worthwhile Jaguar games:
* Defender 2000 - the reason I got the Jag. I never really played much of Plus or 2000, but the Defender Classic was outstanding.
* Battlemorph - I thought this was pretty good, myself.
* Atari Karts - Played against a friend, this game is a blast.
* Cannon Fodder - I understand this is an old Amiga port. I only ever played it on the Jag, and it may not be hugely impressive technologically, but it is also a damn fun & challenging game.
* Battlesphere - Certain notorious personalities aside, this is a very, very good game, in pretty much all respects.
* Worms - excellent
* Doom - I never really liked Doom myself, but every time I've read a comparison of the different Dooms, the Jag version is always declared the best version available.
* Zero 5 - Like 3-D Galaga. Very hard, and pretty fun.
* Rayman - this game is also fantastic.
* Protector - I haven't played Protector:SE, but Protector took my all-time favorite game & a widely appreciated classic, Defender, and did an excellent job souping it up, so to speak. Consider this a different take on 'Defender Plus'.
And of course there's Tempest 2000, but you've already mentioned that one. Also, I actually liked Highlander a lot. I never figured out how to get past a certain point (& I don't like to use strategy guides as it feels like cheating), but until I got stuck I was enjoying myself thoroughly.
