ITT: We all say something nice about the Jaguar
>>
With the CD add-on it looks like a toilet, but that's okay because the toilet is a place to relieve yourself and have privacy.
>>
The controller is unique.
>>
>>3331343
The box it came in is very cool. It was a novel idea to try and use two 32 bit cpu's in tandem to have a "64 bit" system. It was competent at sprite scaling.

It didnt look THAT much like a toilet.

The blitter was pretty fast I guess

When you rubbed your dick on it after it had been on for a while, it felt kinda alright.

I agree with this nice fellow.

The box is arguably GOAT

Nice boxart. Reminds me of the old 3dfx cards.

It runs Doom.

Make a list of the good Jaguar games
I'll start:

Does the Jaguar actually have the greatest box of all time?
I say yes. If you disagree, show me some contenders.
>>
It was an interesting idea and ahead of its time
>>
>>3331596
It wasn't ahead of it's time. It was a piece of shit that used two shitty 32-bit processors jury rigged together so badly most programmers couldn't even figure out how to use one of the processors correctly. They put a fucking Motorola 68000, the same processor in the Genesis, on the board for controller support and programmers ended up just using that to put their games on it, so all the game came out looking like Super Nintendo/Genesis era games.

The Jaguar fucking KILLED Atari, and not having a main console during the Mega Drive/SNES era destroyed any brand name they had left.

Oh. Fuck.

Good things.

It had a few okay games. Nothing unique to the system or overly special, though.
>>
>>3331543
Ports. Those are not unique to the Jaguar.

>Iron Solider
>AVP
>>
>>3331605
>thatsthejoke.jpg
Although, Rayman came out on the Jaguar before any other console
>>
>>3331605
You listed the only two games on the Jaguar worth playing.
And neither is worth the now 300 dollar price tag the system carries.

What could have been if Atari had competent leadership.

I actually like the name.
>>
>>3331626
Why isn't a picture of this guys modeling on the Panther wiki page? Instead it's some dipshits half-assed drawing.
>>
>>3331626
Hey man... just say something nice about the jaguar?
>>
>>3331632
Because no one cares about Atari.
>>
>>3331343
jaguar had some pretty advanced hardware for its time. but much like what happened with the saturn it was to complicated for devs to program for and thus it suffered for it.
>>
it has alot of buttons.
>>
>>3331343
i really think the controller is neat

it'd be useful for emulation with macros and shortcuts etc. for anything with less buttons than a snes
>>
>>3331725
You've never held it
>>3331615
Sauce on those prices? I've got a Jaguar with AvP and Iron Soldier that I'm looking to get rid of, and that's about 3x as much as I've heard
>>
>>3331343
Has a cool name and cool looking box. Has Tempest 2000 and Alien vs. Predator.
>>
>>3331809
I wonder where I could get sauce for prices?
Hmm...

Maybe EBAY.

Do you have everything like the boxes, etc?
>>
>>3331343
I wanted Jaguar so bad as a kid. I still dig the look of it.

That's the crappy Dreamcast box.

It produced some of the best Seanbaby articles back in the day.
>>
>>3331809
no i haven't ):
>>
>>3331584
Pretty much. Only the not-retro fat PS2 and original Xbox boxes come close.

Anything that doesn't have the actual console on the front is pretty good imo.
>>
>>3332239
Yeah, just slapping a pic of the console on the box is lazy design.
>>
>>3332239
PS2 box looks like shit. Xbox box looks sick though.
>>
It looks like an F-zero machine with the cd attaché net.
>>
If it's a windy day and you have your windows open, you can place your Jag on top of your papers so they don't go flying around the house willy-nilly!

No, In VR times there is simply no contender for the Jaguar box.

Even the controller box is decent.
>>
>>3331584
i think so, yes. It looks so cool. Imagine it would have been a success, everyone would have grabbed a box.
>>
It looks nice on my bookshelf with the rest of my collections. :^)

Which had better 3D, Jag or 3DO?

Which had better 2D, Jag or 3DO?

Which had better audio, Jag or 3DO?

Which had better controllers, Jag or 3DO?

Which had better durability/build quality, Jag or 3DO?

Which had the better game library, Jag or 3DO?

If Jag looks like toilet or dental unit than what does 3DO look like?
>>
>>3334421
>Which had better durability/build quality, Jag or 3DO?

At a guess I'd give that to the Jag since it uses carts - less moving parts, less chance of errors.

>If Jag looks like toilet or dental unit than what does 3DO look like?

This one is hard to say because there were like nine 3do models; some looked like cheap Chinese VCRs while others looked like high-end hi-fi cd players.
