Atari Jaguar

The Atari Jaguar is a video game console released by Atari in 1993. The system, until the release of the Atari Flashback ten year later, was the final console released by Atari. Atari, at first, was initially developing the Jaguar tomake a console superior to the Sega Mega Drive or the SNES. Though, the system was indefinitely more powerful than the Mega Drive and SNES, the Jaguar fell to the superior systems around its final release in the mid 1990s.
The Jaguar was promoted as the first 64-bit gaming system. Though more powerful than its competitors, the Jaguar was a failure as with most of Atari's consoles, it lost third-party support to the larger corporations of Sony and Sega.
