Just thought I'd bring issue 119 of Retro Gamer to everyone's attention. This issue has a 6-page article celebrating the Jaguar's 20th Anniversary! Definitely worth checking out. There's also a nice article celebrating Q*Bert! |

Just thought I'd bring issue 119 of Retro Gamer to everyone's attention. This issue has a 6-page article celebrating the Jaguar's 20th Anniversary! Definitely worth checking out. There's also a nice article celebrating Q*Bert! I've known one or two dedicated collectors who insist that there's gold to be found in the Jaguar library if only people were open-minded enough to search for it. Some of the cartridge games look nice, and there are a few CD titles that would be fun to collect. But the likelihood of finding a working Jaguar CD attachment is so miniscule that the rewards barely justify the effort. If nothing else, it makes an interesting conversation piece for gamers; Atari wrote such a peculiar chapter in video game history when they built the Jaguar. Did you know that the Jaguar design was actually sold to Imagin Systems to manufacture dental equipment?  I noticed that the issue features an article on Counter-Strike. If you have any interest in PC gaming, I would advise you to check it out. Counter-Strike was one of the most successful Half-Life mods in the late-1990s, and it arguably changed the face of PC gaming as it brought tech-savvy fans and amateur programmers that much closer to the inner circles of the gaming industry. Their influence was felt for many years. |

You can find working Jaguar CD units. In fact, you can still find new ones at Best Electronics. So finding a functioning one doesn't have as minuscule a chance as you think.
