      yeah it's sick. I guess the AVP game is good too? I've never tried it.

        Yeah it's pretty good, graphics a bit more enjoyable than gameplay but that's just my opinion

        'Good' for the Jaguar doesn't necessarily extend further.

        DOS and Classic Mac OS, yes. It's also on all the new consoles and PC in the Atari 50 collection

        For DOS. Saying "on DOS" just sounds weird.

    It's a really powerful system ruined by bus contention. If they separated the RAM into 3, main RAM math RAM and framebuffer RAM that is, it would've been performing as fast as the 3DO. With flat polygons of course, but still as fast.

    Scaring Sega into releasing the abortion that was the 32X, apparently.

    >raison d'etre
    It's raison d'etre was to try and save Atari's badly failing console division which had produced failure after failure since the early 80's and it failed that raison entirely.

    Teaching others that dedicated 2D hardware was obsolete and that simpler designs with lower maximum theoretical power ceiling were better than the inverse.

      Looks and runs much better than say gex on 3DO too.

        Let's make an even more pointless and expensive 3DO, by also inspiring the PS3's hardware architecture!
        also let's repurpose our console's casing molds for 3D dental scanners for some reason

        >even more pointless and expensive 3DO
        What? It was only $250 at launch and soon got discounted to $150 while the 3DO was $700. Also it had better 2D performance and graphics than 3DO.

      is it worth checking out over the ps1 release?

      "on dos" does sound strange as frick
      esp for those who grew up with it or were forced to use it
      but now that it is a depreciated OS and no longer in daily use;
      i guess that vernacular is technically correct

      "on windows 95" "on windoze 98" "on windows ME" etc
      i still say "using D0S" but it comes up so rarely in workplay situations that i dont think most even think about it besides oldgays

        The Jaguar version was developed first and didn't have the handful of visual improvements the PS1 version got due to that. I think the image quality is better though, Jaguar renders graphics in CRY colors rather than RGB and it gives a smoother and tastefully darker tint to the image.
