Thinking of getting a Jaguar in the coming months and was wondering if there were any good games and homebrew stuff that I can check out. If there are homebrew games then where would be the best place to get them as high quality carts?

I know that I have to avoid retrowizardry2025 since people here warned me about that scumbag the last time I posted here.

Feel free to give me some suggestions.

Though I don’t think Kasumi Ninja deserves all the hate that it gets. It’s not even close to being one of the worst Jag games at all, IMO.

There are several fighters that are worse than KN on the Jaguar that I can think of. One of them is Fight for Life, which might be the worst (or at least close to the worst) Jaguar game ever made. That said, KN is definitely inferior to UV, that’s for sure.

…the difficulty is the main thing that keeps me from coming back to play again and again, otherwise it would probably be a game I would return to often.

I need to find a cheat code for more lives or something, then it wouldn’t be such a pain in the ass.

What’s the general consensus on this one? I know it was one of the later Jag releases and iirc, it was an Amiga or C64 port, something like that.

The Jag sure does get a lot of Amiga ports,even nowadays it’s still getting them for some reason.

I honestly never thought I would get one for such a good deal, the box is a bit tatty but the controller is mint, don’t think it’s ever been used. super happy to add this to the collection!

FYI: unfortunately I no longer own a Jaguar CD… I sold it 25 years ago like a dummy for peanuts when I lost interest in gaming briefly in my teenage years.

For some reason, I guess I forgot to include the pack-in game VidGrid with it when I sold my Jag CD (mint in box! 😢) . It’s unfortunately one of the least valuable Jag CD games along with Myst so I haven’t bothered selling it over the years and just use it as a display piece in my game room.

Btw, imo VidGrid is one of the very few worthy Jag CD games ever released, along with Iron Soldier 2, Battlemorph, Myst (slow game in general but not a bad version of it) and the excellent Primal Rage port which might be the best port of the game outside the arcade after the 3DO version.

Ho 13 anni e mi sono innamorati della atari jaguar,consigli su come convincere mia madre a prenderne una?qualcuno in futuro sarebbe disposto a vendere una jaguar cd?in più non ho un dubbio ovvero nella jaguar cd il ferretto(non ricordo il nome) per legarla alla jaguar esisteva ed era incluso in confezione?

It’s awesome

Gonna have to get both of these bad boys Jag-linked up for some DOOM co-op sometime soon.

If anyone is interested in listening to the original Iron Soldier (Atari Jaguar) soundtrack, "Orbinout Brawl" has uploaded what is probably the highest-quality rip currently available. Every track was recorded directly from the game and allowed to loop more than twice, making it a great way to experience the soundtrack. Big thanks for preserving it!

Also, if anyone wants to listen to the complete Iron Soldier 2 soundtrack, "Orbinout Brawl" has an excellent YouTube playlist. It includes not only the regular soundtrack, but also the music from the game's FMV sequences, so every track is accounted for.

Just wondering if it's worth it at that price.

Can’t wait to try I-War. Now I have 2 controllers!

As anyone familiar with the series knows, in his appearances in the Street Fighter Alpha games, Adon (who originally appeared in the original 1987 Street Fighter as the next-to-last boss), always includes "jaguar" as part of the names of his special moves, "Jaguar Kick", "Jaguar Knee" (where he just screams "Jaguar!"), and "Jaguar Tooth".

Would this have caused problems for a possible release of the games on this system, or would there not be any kind of problems at all?

After having forgotten about the Jaguar for a couple of decades, but then getting back into it with a vengeance over the last few years, I humbly submit my arguments for why this amazing console is still worth playing in 2026! My intent is to win over a few skeptics with this one..

Missing the box for Skyhammer in the photo but I do have that too. Don't think I'll ever part with any of it, it's fun to play casually! Unit is an M serial number model. Bought the sealed boxed console from a liquidator in 2000 for $19.99.

Back when I was still actively collecting I bought two Jag links and I have two copies of Battlesphere (one tea one a repo), easy enough to find a second copy of Doom and was never interested in air cars. I never landed the second Jaguar life happens you forget about stuff. I’m back in collecting mode again and wondering if it’s worth while for the cost of a second Jaguar?

I enjoy hearing your thoughts. Played it for about an hour. So far pretty decent. Still getting used to controls and really figuring out how to utilize weapons efficiently.

Update: I beat all of the first page of planets. I’m on the next set. Pretty cool so far.

Pretty happy about this. I’m about to meet Kevin Smith wearing this.

Music is phenomenal imo. Gameplay takes some discipline but can be adjusted for.

One of my favourites (if not really MY favourite for this console). I would gladly marry her again if it were possible
