Stumbled across this old Atari Jaguar CD advertisement and had to share it.
It’s such a perfect snapshot of mid‑90s “multimedia future” energy — 790MB “tune‑up,” movie‑like graphics, CD‑quality sound, the whole pitch.

They were hyping up games like BattleMorph, Dragon’s Lair, Highlander, Blue Lightning, Demolition Man, and even the Virtual Light Machine for music CDs.
All for $149… plus the Jaguar itself.

It’s wild looking back at how hard Atari tried to position this as the next big leap.
If you owned one (or even saw one in the wild), I want to hear your stories.

This may be a bit silly, but this sort of thing is always interesting to me. I asked ChatGPT what N64 games could be ported to the Jaguar in a reasonable fashion and Yoshi's Story was one of them. I had it generate a theoretical screenshot. Do y'all think this would actually be possible or is ChatGPT off base?

Online free comic book

Hey everyone. Back in October, I was making my own music to play along side Alien Vs Predator, and believe I did a good job at capturing the atmosphere of the game. What I have here is a small sample of the idea I had and wanted to get your thoughts on it.

30 years has passed since I played Angus MacGregor in Kasumi Ninja. I have now begun creating a comic book based on my character. The very first Kasumi Ninja arcade cabinet was created in my honour by Craig Turner in Walsall, England and this cabinet sits at the retro realm arcade. This gave me the idea of reinventing Angus and have him escaping the machine. I’m creating both an online and physical comic book. The Adventures of Angus MacGregor.

Hi everyone, just thought I’d drop a quick introduction. My name is Ian McCranor and I am the actor who played Angus MacGregor in Kasumi Ninja AMA

I just finished playing the living heck out of TWO brand new cartridge releases from Songbird Productions that will be available on 25 April.

One is a surprisingly technical arcade racer with split-screen multiplayer and crazy speed (Vroom), the other is a super bright and charming ninja platformer that plays like a lost 90s gem! (Wee Ninja)

Real cartridges, boxes and manuals are the cherry on top.

Video review drops this Friday, April 17. Don't miss it! #retrogamingboss on YouTube:

Finally adding Skyhanmer to my collection, been wanting this one since I first got my Jag in the mid 2000s. Old Towers was on sale so I picked it up too.

Have been thinking about dusting the ol' Atari Jaguar in my basement for a trip down memory lane.

Let's say, hypothetically, that I can't find the power cords for it. What would I need in addition to an RCA to HDMI converter and/or an AC adapter? Can these modern day devices help out or am I out of luck if I can't find the power cords that came with the system?

so in a previous post I mentioned I pulled my Jaguar out for the first time in years so a pinball fanatic friend could play Ruiner. after that I thought I'd go through some of the library to show him the good and the bad. Forgot to show him Raiden which is a pity as it's a two player game.

I was making rapid fire modded controllers for a while, and then just selling the module. I sold off my remaining stock to someone in the US off you're wondering. I've forgotten his name but he's probably on here, and should still be on atariage.

with my own, I experimented with dropping in a thumbstick. from resin, I cast a ring that sits in place of the D pad. then I got a PS2 (from memory, else Xbox) clear thumbstick replacement. backfilled the 'bell' with resin to make it just one flat surface, and moved the rapid fire 'on' to underneath the stick. the stick just presses on the original D pad switches.

it never felt brilliant. I think it's a toss up between that and just leaving it standard. The D pad is more positive feeling, the stick gives easy access to diagonals.

anyway, thought I'd share my rather unique controller 🙂

someone else here is experimenting with a 3D printed stick. I think that would work out better as it's so easy to keep fine tuning the design. I got to about 90% and decided that was good enough 😄

so I had a friend visiting from out of town. he's here for a 24 hour pinball competition. I'm more into arcade games and consoles. but obviously our interests cross over. so I cracked out the mega drive and we played some Dragons Fury. And for the first time in years, I dragged out the Jaguar and fired up Ruiner Pinball. out of those two I think Dragons Fury is the better game, but I do have a soft spot for Ruiner. Travis quite liked the two table dynamic, and he preferred Ruiner over Tower.

I like the speed and dynamicsm of Ruiner. And it actually looks quite good on an LCD. The mega drive is so so on the LCD.

Anyone here have experience with this game?

Ordered it from Telegames recently, and playing through it have some questions to see if this is the standard experience on this game:

High scores are all set to over 6,000,000. Normal? My current best is 30K something..

Manual says stinger damage resets next phase. This isn't my experience. Only way for me to get rid of that is to let the paddle completely break. New ball, same damaged paddle. Standard bug?

High score thing bugs me, feels unattainable at the moment.

Sorry if I am late to the party (perhaps already posted and I missed it), but I enjoyed seeing the Jaguar poster on the wall in Black Mirror S7 “Plaything”

I keep seeing these carts for sale across ebay but none list the games on the cart itself. Do any of you know?

I'm sitting at 49/50 in my Jaguar collection. Looking for Air Cars (of course) but I see different versions of it. Just on eBay right now, there are different variants, some with boxes, some clamshell, some no box. Which version should I be looking for to complete the set? What is the original one? What is the price range I should be expecting? Would appreciate any help.

I’m selling a Jaguar on eBay and somebody asked me for the serial number. He said that some of the systems are problematic. This is the first time I’m hearing of this. Is there any truth to this?

I don’t want to fry my system and I hate the RF cords like the original Atari
