Your dad is magical. What an amazing Childhood.
@mr, Black Black Why no?
@@umiami80 he just got jealous
@@WarlockGolems Awesome childhood.
Indeed. Most of us only dreamed of owning this many consoles.
Bad parent
I got my Jaguar at kay bee toy store on clearance for $20, and $5 per game. It’s insane what they are going for nowadays. I still have mine complete in the box and about 20 or so games.
Your dad is a hype king. I think your dad bought the Jaguar for his self.
Watched so many of your videos that I started calling your dad "Dad". Thanks for these gems.
I’ve recently discovered your channel and have been watching a few of the episodes. Your dad was a cool guy!👍🏻
Thanks Phil!
I don't know if anyone on Earth at that time was more excited about the Jaguar than your dad! Love the enthusiasm!
It's that mostly unfulfilled potential that draws me to the Jaguar after all these years, I tried it at the store bitd and it was fun, not like I instantly hated it like the internet consensus demands now and forever lol. I might have gone down that path in the 90s if it had been a little cheaper, much like the 3DO Ie. cool but a large investment for a kid.
Mainly in my research of what happened historically with the Jaguar it's just a lot of "What are you doing, don't do that Atari, this not how to create a market?" "Stop saying it's 64-bit, jeez!".😆
I love my Jaguar! My brother and I got swept up in the bit wars, but AvP and Rayman were great games! I just recently bought a Jaguar Game Drive and resurrected my love for the cat! Great video and awesome channel.
Your Dad seemed like a really cool guy.
Glad to see there are people that actually likr cybermorph
I like it too, people who complain must crash into the mountains willingly because they want it to be bad.
"Where did you learn to fly?"
I remember seeing the Jaguar box and games at Electronics Boutique (tucked away in the very back lol) but never did I get to play one nor knew anyone who owned one. Weren't unit sales in the low tens of thousands in the US?
roughly 100k to 150k sold but that is still considered really low.
@mrblackblack2802as a curiosity. Many people, myself included are intrigued by failed systems and the could have beens. I always wanted to collect for the Jaguar for that reason but thankfully I went with the Saturn which has a library light years better.
Your dad is/was the best your truly blessed 🥹
I got the Jaguar for free from Sam Tramiel the ceo. I was the kid showing off the system in NYC at the unveiling. Still have it.
Wolfenstein on the jaguar looked badass incl flamethrower…
It was based on the Mac edition, as was the 3DO port, hence the higher resolution sprites & textures
Your dad was the man 👏
Thank you for sharing this video. It feels like time traveling without needing a DeLorean.
LOL I finished watching back to the Future 2, like 5 minutes before reading this comment.
Just pulled the trigger on one, will be here tomorrow. Waited my entire life, never played or knew anyone who owned one.
How are you liking it so far?
@@bricethompson1922 Its actually pretty good. The first game I put in was Raiden and I hard time putting it down. Better software would have save this console, its actually not bad.
How much did you pay? I always wanted this system but I already sank money into a Saturn collection so sadly no Jaguar.
@@williamgregg8062 475 i think it was, but it came with 10 games, 8 of them are some of the best on the console, as well as an extra controller.
That bubsy cover would’ve captivated me at that age
Jaguar was cool at it's time
@mr, Black Black your life suckss
Your dad was the one really cool. R.I.P
Can you upload a video of you getting the CD attachment? Because I saw you had that on your N64 launch video and I wanted to know if you have a recording of you using that if your dad filmed it. Also, how come you never had a 3DO? Perhaps it was the only console your dad couldn’t afford? He literally bought everything else but that lol. Regardless, it goes without saying that you not only had the best dad in the world, but the best childhood in the world.
Did you every own a Jaguar CD?
I'm sure he did
What a fun video!
I love the channel ❤
It was never 64 bit and even was weaker than 3DO and 32X, to say nothing of PS1 or Saturn. The only edge it had over 32X was color depth. Doom 32X Resurrected proves it could run Doom significantly better, when competently programmed and without brutal development deadlines. A fair appraisal of Jaguar's max potential is the GBA, it was roughly equivalent in power and GBA Doom is based on JagDoom. If Jaguar had extensive third party support somehow we'd eventually have seen 3D games on it of about the same quality as later lifespan GBA titles, like Asterix & Obelix XXL or V-Rally 3.
The bigger problem was lack of vision for first party game dev. We just got remasters of arcade or 2600 IPs like Defender and Breakout. Namco's Pac Man World series did a much better job of modernizing a classic IP rather than just remastering it. It's a fun thought experiment to imagine how to "save" Atari, like many do with Sega. But Atari was even more doomed than Sega. To save Jaguar you'd first need to save the 7800, by never launching the 5200, and preventing the lawsuit which delayed the 7800 launch by 2 years.
Where were the real game boxes? Just curious.
Turns out that the Atari Jaguar, was and is still, a well-built video entertainment machine.
Only, that: at that same time, Atari "kicked the bucked," regarding the tough task of developing and upstreaming a comprehensive and decent games library, for that same "newer" gaming console.
Still the Atari Jaguar, got made, a few good video games, such as: Super Burnout, that achieved the first proper road elevation tilt sensation, to the player. Or Rayman, where the player would feel like playing through another afternoon cartoons episode.
When something over-steps its path... It should work on to getting to somewhere, where the ground is at least mildly steady.
0:30 yes unfortunately, forever.
lol
did you get a CDI too?
Why didn’t you get the lynx?
Looks like this was a later jaguar (black button controllers) so by then the Lynx was all but dead
AVGN roasted the shit outta this console lol
crazy to see the perspective of a fan
Did not really deserve it
Pretty sure that’s the first Avgn episode I watched lol
@@gamingguy9006 It did if you know you know
@@Aqua.man045 not really fanboy
Shell shock
It was a 64bit system, but I honestly think they shouldn't had use that for the marketing.
I would had said it was 16 bit Pro or something like that and let the games speak .
Sadly, Atari simply had bad luck plus poor timing in many things.
Plus the Japanese would had never provided support for it and since they controlled the video game industry, the Jaguar simply didn't had a chance
a great video as always
