The TRUTH About The Atari Jaguar No One Tells You: ➡

ALOT of people got into collecting because of KZreadrs like AVGN and Pat the Nes Punk. The downside is that they also created the "Shelf Collector". Those that buy expensive collectibles to sit in a closet or shelf, never to be played ever. It's a kind of status symbol. I personally would love to fire up a Jag CD and experience the games as it was meant to be.

Got that 🚽 shape

Too many think all retro related game/consoles are worth a lot money but in reality they're not. Since Wata started the market manipulation and false advertising of retro gaming has been nothing but hardship for people who love and cherish video game collecting. This is why you should never get your games graded.

its unbelievable people are paying a grand for jag cd systems still. back in 2002 on ebay i got a jag with jag cd and tons of games for 150 bucks. how about in the late 90s or like 1997 kaybee and other stores were liquidating jag stuff. systems were like 50 bucks including jag cd and games were like 5 or 10 bucks each

200 dollar game drive plays all jag cd games but a lot of people dont know this. im seeing jag cd system coming down in price lately from 1000 to more like 600 or 700 now. 10 years ago they were selling for 200 bucks.

Jaguar collecting has gotten bizarre. Used to be able to find a console with at least cybermorph and one controller for $100. I don't know why people would bother with a jaguar cd. The game drive by retrohq can do cd drive emulation without the unit. The cd drive didn't do anything special like the Sega cd or Turbo Grafx CD. It's just a drive that should have been built into the Jaguar from the start.

For me the reason I still have mine is the VLM. Using the backdoor keys so you can program your own effects and its still fun. If you have 3 friends over and an Xbox 360 the VLM in there will let all 4 of you to control different aspects of the effects in real time. It's really fun when you learn to work together truly getting the most out of the VLM and the experience.

I bought my Jaguar CD from KB toys in the mall when it first came out. Cyber Morph was one of my favorite games. I played it so much. The Jaguar was the first console I ever bought on my own that my parents didn't buy and I owned it until 2009 when I sold it on eBay for $86. I wish I would have never sold it but my girlfriend at the time was selling all of her old systems save for whatever reason I wanted her to like me more by selling mine with hers? Idk, dumb decisions guys make for women's attention 😂🤣

I remember Kay bee toys being PACKED with Jaguar stuff. Systems for $40 and games 5-10. Still not one bite

Waste of money, but something for the gaming history.

I had one of these. I used the VLM (music visualizer), and I had two games for it: Myst and Battlemorph. That might sound like failure, but I liked that VLM, and I liked Myst (which I hadn't got chance to play before on other systems), and I thought Battlemorph was hot stuff. So, I can't say that I regretted having it.

Most excellent video SIr, I worked in an EB Games during the launch of the PS1 and we had an entire wall of Jaguar CD's, nobody wanted them. (Kicking myself I never got one there in hindsight)

Same reason people want the n64 DD shelf candy/bragging rights.

I’ve had two Jag CD units and they both worked fine. I love mine. The audio CD VLM is also worth mentioning. It was unique at the time.

Albeit harder to find, Iron Soldier 2 is also on cartridge form as well.

I had a Jaguar with the CD attachment. Right out of the box it had video signal problems. The base unit is rather tough though like most cartridge systems. Battlemorph was actually fun.

Ice always wondered what the Jaguar was truly capable of. There was so much untapped potential in that console that we never got to experience. This and the 3DO's lives were cut short without us ever getting to see what they really could do when developers were able to max out the hardware

There must be a bunch of these somewhere, I worked at Wal Mart in 2000 and they had about 50 Jag CD's that eventually got shipped out somewhere. They were not marked down at all or else I would have one.

I'll have to take your word for Iron Soldier II. My copy always froze at the weapons selection screen. The Electronics Boutique also got in Breakout 2000 at the same time, I wish I'd bought that instead.
