And the question is....
What made you decide to buy a Jaguar?
| I got my Jaguar out of desparation. I had sold off all my other video gaming systems, and realized that I was in withdrawal. I knew of someone at school that was less than happy with his Jag, so I asked him if he wanted to trade it to me. Needless to say, he did, and I was a happy gamer once again. -- Kevin (KevinManne@wycol.com) |
| The fact that the Jaguar was so advanced for its time. A 64-bit system amidst 16 and 32 bitters. Tempest 2000 reviews in EGM really let me know that this system was the way to go. -- Wes Powell (powell@easilink.com) |
| The price tag and the loyalty of its userbase. -- Mark Ditter (ditter@blue.weeg.uiowa.edu) |
| Liquidation prices rule! Seriously, how many games can you afford if the system costs $149 and the games each cost $50 -$70. I have been able to purchase more than a dozen Jaguar games in a short period of time, and they're good games. -- Dale Galbraith (DScottGee@aol.com) |
| I really wanted the JAGUAR64 for its power along
with the CATBOX, v.r., voice modem, TEAM TAP, PROSTICK and the proven Atari titles that were
and still are going to be released which is EXCELLENT, YES! YES! YES! -- Guy Dupre (guybad@global2000.net) |
| I bought a Jaguar not necessarily for what it does, but for what it IS. I LOVE going against the crowd, and being different. I bought it for
being an 'elite' system. I love showing it to people, and looking at their expressions on their faces. Some look at it in disgust, some admire it. I know some may be too ignorant to appreciate it. I always thought that Atari was a cool company. I bought my Jag because of the stories I've heard
on its creation and production. I feel the same way about Apple Computer. They're not as popular, so most people go against them, but I support them for being the underdog. Just like the Jag, the underdog. I love my Jag for what it IS, not necesarily for what it does. -- Alan Orlaski (BigAJO@aol.com) |
| I've always felt a sort of loyalty to the Atari Corporation, since the 2600 was the unit that got me interested in video games when I was but a few years old. When I heard that Atari was coming back with an unheard of 64-bit comeback, I felt obliged to buy the machine. I knew they'd come out with classic remakes and I was really looking for Star Raiders 2K and due to the poor availability of Atari products in my area, I knew I'd be taking a gaming perspective unique to those of everyone else I knew. Though the company went ashcan and the software was sparse, buying my Jag was probably one of the best decisions I ever made. It's already given me years of enjoyment and I expect it to give me many more. -- Jason Hill (cougar@hotmail.com) |
| The price, the innovative games, and the cheap development hardware...And most of all it's an ATARI. -- Jason Davis (lldavis@ckt.net) |
| Initially, it was the amazing coverage from the early days of GAMEFAN magazine. Alien vs. Predator looked great. The unit was assembled by IBM here in the US, and it just has a cool look to it. I really am grateful to TELEGAMES for supporting the Jaguar/JagCD. -- Stephen Meenan (JETJAGUAR@WebTV.net) |
| Currently, the price of the Jaguar and the games, is one of the most attractive features of the system. The hardware is unsurpassed. I bought a Jaguar to enhance my video game collection for a great price.. -- Jacob Dante Leffler (leffler@cs.utah.edu) |
| I saw the Jaguar in TigerDirect for $50 and it came with Alien vs. Predator. Nuff said. -- Ron J. Earl (rj.earl@sk.sympatico.ca) |
