[Batsute]

Atari just announced the Jaguar is selling for $249. How is the 3DO gonna compete with its $699 price tag? Props to Atari they’ve already won the won and system hasn’t even been released yet.

Bruh they even in the conversation Neo Geo has always done their own thing relying on old IPs. Atari is setting trends.

the atari jaguar. one of the biggest gaming mistakes of my life. and whats funny about this thread, is that i had a friend who almost traded his 3do for my jaguar. and it didnt happen because his brother told him it was a bad idea. fukk atari. as a kid i used to gravitate towards longshots and i wish the 3do did better just so the m2 would have come out

Yo. The hype for the Jaguar was wild. I only had one kid in my dorm that had one and he only had Doom which was a pretty competent port and this spaceship game that was a bad Starfox clone.

Aliens vs Predators on the jaguar was ahead of its time

I believe there was also a decent fighting game, kasumi ninja?

3do was amazing with road rash, need for speed, and return fire

Way of the warrior was good

I believe they had a basketball game called run n gun or something like that, that paved the way for 2k

My friend picked the CD-I It was trash, we just used it as a cd player

 

[Deltron]

It was $250 USD when it dropped and would be like $520 today

The 3DO, Neo Geo, and CD-i were all at least twice that
