List of Atari Jaguar games

Add article description


The list of Atari Jaguar games has the complete library of 50 cartridges and 13 CD-ROMs from the console's original 1990s retail release period. The list of canceled games is of those announced or in development but never released. The Jaguar is a fifth generation home video game console developed by Atari Corporation and manufactured by IBM.[1][2] First released in North America on November 23, 1993, the Jaguar is the fifth home console with the Atari name.[3][4]

Production of the Jaguar began in the early 1990s by Flare Technology after cancellation of the Panther, and was unveiled at the 1993 Summer Consumer Electronics Show.[2][4][5][6] It became an important platform for Atari, after shifting its focus from computers back to consoles.[2] Atari released the Jaguar to compete with 16-bit and 32-bit consoles such as the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and 3DO Interactive Multiplayer.[7] The Jaguar was marketed as the world's first 64-bit video game system, by adding up its two 32-bit GPU and DSP processors.[1][3][8]

The Jaguar's multi-chip architecture proved difficult to program for most developers, and combined with its poor commercial performance on the market and Atari's severely limited financial resources, led to a slow trickle of software and lack of third-party games.[4][8][9][10] This resulted in a limited library of only 50 games on cartridge.[1] Atari attempted to extend the Jaguar's lifespan with the Jaguar CD add-on, with an additional 13 games.[1][8] However, sales continued to decline with the release of the Sega Saturn and PlayStation in 1995, selling no more than 150,000 units.[9][11][12] By 1996, the Jaguar and game development for it were discontinued.[9][13] The best-selling game is Alien vs Predator, with 52,223 copies as of April 1, 1995.[14]

Atari merged with JT Storage in 1996, and Hasbro Interactive acquired all of Atari's assets after buying out JTS in 1998.[9][15] Hasbro declared the Jaguar as an open platform in 1999, releasing the console's patents and rights into public domain after much lobbying from Atari fans, allowing software developers to make and release games for Jaguar without requiring a licensing agreement.[7][16][17][18] Following the announcement, hobbyists have released previously finished but unpublished games and produced homebrew games to the Jaguar's cult following.[4][16][19][20]
