10 Misunderstood Video Game Consoles The World Should Have LOVED
9. Atari Jaguar
Atari brought the Jaguar to us back in 1994 as they attempted to cement themselves in the world of gaming consoles. They should have been successful too, but ultimately fell short and struggled from the off amid various controversies.
The Jaguar was the big hope for Atari in terms of console accessibility. It had a smart look for its time with a well crafted logo to boot, and did deliver some quality games alongside.
First-person shooters such as DOOM and Alien Vs. Predator were a roaring success, and proved immensely popular with those who did own a system. We also saw an early version of Rayman, a game which proved FAR more popular in the years to come on PlayStation.
Like so many consoles released during this sort of timeframe, it struggled to compete with Sony and SEGA. A lack of titles being released after that initial burst also hampered progress considerably.
The Jaguar attracted a very niche audience and proved popular for a short period of time among users, it just never managed worldwide appeal as Atari slowly collapsed underneath.
