 – Fifth VideoGame Generation Recap – Adam Koralik')){kind=link}
+GameCenter Baker Thanks for watching!
Dude, I appreciate the videos, but you don’t want the Jaguar to be the
“butt of jokes” even though it looks like a toilet?
come on dude,
It didn’t sell well
Few games (less than a 100)
Few good games (from what I have seen)
Developers had trouble making games for it
the cd attachment seems to brake on a lot of ppl
You say nothing to make me think it is a good system, or worth owning
(which is the point of a game console.) The ongoing theme in the video is
that the Jaguar “isn’t that bad”. You use this phrase for every aspect of
the system. So you could have also said, ” The Jaguar isn’t that good”.
So a system that isn’t that good, has few good games of note, looks like a
toilet, and was made by one of the most well known game companies doesn’t
deserve to be made fun of…?
Marathoning all your videos right now
+GeorgeGringo21 Thank you!
I stumbled upon your channel while cruising Angry Video Game Nerd videos.
You have a very easy-to-listen-to, pleasant demeanor and I find your
opinions very informative and educational. Thanks for the great
entertainment! So much better than a lot of other critic/review channels
where the reviewer is just obnoxious or unnecessarily snarky or tries too
hard to be funny. Keep up the good work.
Hey Adam – I saw one of your other videos where you hooked up the Sega
Saturn with the RGB Scart to HDMI converter and I was wondering if you have
done the same with the Atari Jaguar? Does it work well? Would you
recommend? I specifically want to get the best NBA JAM TE experience
possible and since seeing your videos I think RGB Scart to HD TV might be
better than seeking out the arcade cabinet.
I LIKE SEEING THE MANY RARE SHORT LIVED VIDEO GAME SYSTEM FROM THE LATE
80’S AND EARLY 90’S. WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECAP OF 4TH GENERATION AS WELL.
Nice collection, I’m trying to find a Atari Jaguar for my Atari collection.
Where do you keep all these consoles?
These are really interesting vids nice job. The only thing I don’t like is
that you repeat the intro about what everyone thinks the 4th gen consoles
are and what every business was doing. Not a big deal, I still like the
series. Keep em coming
do you have a video on the apple console?
I have one myself. It’s really not that bad.
Sometime after Atari Corporation was sold to a company called JTS, that
company released the Jaguar platform as open source. I would think that
because of this, a decent emulator would have surfaced by now. There’s
Virtual Jaguar, Jagulator, and Project Tempest. One kinda works, but sound
isn’t supported and is a pain in the ass to configure, and the other two I
never could get running at all.
If you don’t have it may I suggest “Power drive rally” That was my
favourite game for the jag, fun addictive greatness :)
You should do one about all the gameboys
Man you know your shit +1 subscriber
lol I told my mom about it and she didnt give a shit. typical.
If the fourth generation of consoles had the Snes, and the fifth generation
of consoles had the N64, then where does the virtual boy come in?
Rayman!?!?On the Atari Jaguar DAFAQ!
Though it wasn’t common knowledge at the release of this video, the Retro
VGS will be made in the USA.
I have both the Jaguar and the Jaguar CD. I went through 3 Jaguars before I
found one that worked, however my first CD worked until one day I mixed the
power adapters up and it fried my Jaguar.
The only reason to get an atari jaguar is not because its good but you can
just say i got a JAGGG, which sounds rad and you could get away with
anything, you got a ps4? oh dont mind me i got a JAGG (if anyones watched
Top Gear UK talk about jaguar cars you’ll understand what i’m on about),
sure the jaguar had its good games, but considering the 3do came around the
same time i think that was a much better console even if it did have its
crappy games, and in the video you said most the games were “ports” on the
3do, but you didnt mention that quite a lot were actually originally 3do
exclusives but were later ported to the successful 5th gen consoles such as
the need for speed, road rash, and quite a few others, and quite alot of
3do games look better than early playstation games, where as the jaguar
felt more like an enhanced 16-bit, sure it never got to see its full
potential, but the 3do had great looking games out the box, it was ataris
own fault for overcomplicating the hardware
I’m actually quite enjoying this series. I was never aware that all these
consoles were part of the 5th generation, I assumed they were 4th but never
looked it up. I loved the part where you went to buy the Jaguar finally,
and someone had gotten it. Solid gold right there.
Another hilarious crazy bad story that happened to your gaming life with
the Jaguar being sold on that one day, isn’t it?
But yea, I think all those systems with 2 or more 32bit CPUs in it were
interesting, just that devices like the Saturn proved developers at the
time to have huge difficulties to program for these things probably.
That’s most likely what broke this thing down if you leave alone Nintendo’s
and SEGA’s massive success before, since there wasn’t a market for more
than 3 systems at the time, including the PlayStation that eventually got
released.
Anyways… nice review on that system again, Adam!
I like my Jaguar… It has a few games that are good, you just have to do
your research and find out what games on the Jaguar are good. Not only
that, but theres a whole community of Jaguar owners who make new games and
sell them and a LOT of those games are fantastic.
So I called my Mom like you said and she asked “What the hell is an Atari?”
Love your vids Adam especially the Dreamcast series.
i dont know why everyone makes such a big deal about having to have a
seperate power supply for the sega cd and 32x or the jaguar cd. i know
they were pretty big but if you have a power strip (or two) you can easily
plug them all in. although the smart thing for sega or atari to do would
have been to either a) have a separate wire coming from the transformer to
plug into the wall, like most laptop power supplies are, since the ‘wall
wort’ transformers were so big they each blocked like 2 or 3 plugs on a
power strip or b) make a single transformer with 2 (or 3) wires so you can
use one power supply for all your devices.
i got my Jaguar today! love it. it apparently didnt work. but a clean and
does seem to work pretty well. ive got an RGB Scart from Retro Computer
Shack. the only issue is the power supply. it starts to buzz after a time.
i would guess i need to get a new power supply. what do you think?
Hard to believe that in USA you haven’t heard about Atari Jaguar. In Poland
around 1994-1995 in each computer magazine were reviews and commercials of
this console. Of course it was astronomical expensive and super hard to
get.
Great video as always Adam!
I’m happy to see someone detail the 5th gen in the detail that you did. Not
a lot of people really understand how deep 5th gen was. This series really
fills in a lot of holes!
I have always had a special place in my heart for Atari. As a kid I owned
the Atari 2600, 5200, and 7800. So after support for the Atari 7800 ended
many including myself had considered Atari done with the home console
market never looking back. My overall impressions of the last console I
owned from Atari the Atari 7800 wasn’t good and at the time I felt that the
Atari 7800 was a big step down innovative wise from the Atari 5200! Instead
of Atari improving upon what made the Atari 5200 great like making those
innovative digital controllers more reliable. Atari instead decides to drop
the digital controllers altogether and return back to analog controllers!
Atari also decides to drop the larger cartridge sizes of the Atari 5200
which could presumably hold more data and therefore produce more complex
games and return back to Atari 2600 size cartridges! Atari also decided not
to improve upon the superior sound of the Atari 5200 but instead decided to
go back to the inferior sounds of the Atari 2600! The color print on the
cartridges was now B/W which didn’t help with its overall image of being an
inferior console to the NES. This was may general impressions of the 7800
during the time it was on the market and I am pretty sure that many other
Atari 7800 owners at the time had the exact same impressions of the
console.
So after the failed Atari 7800 many people including myself was left with a
bad impression of Atari and was pretty much done with Atari by this point.
But to my surprise and I am sure to the surprise of many others Atari
decides to release another home console after many years of being absent
from the home console market! So when Atari decided to return with its new
home console the Atari Jaguar Atari by this point was considered
irrelevant. Most of Atari’s fan base by this point had migrated over to
Nintendo and Sega or had just moved on from video games altogether. So at
this point Atari was going up against all odds and had a very slim chance
of ever being successful again. The Atari Jaguar optimally failed because
it didn’t have any must have first party games that anybody wanted to play.
Most of the games that came out for the system was mostly old school sort
of stuff that no one no longer cared about outside of maybe Tempest 2000.
The Atari Jaguar also didn’t really have any of the popular third party
games that was available for Nintendo and Sega consoles at the time and as
a result people dismissed the Atari Jaguar as a irrelevant old school
nostalgia console that would never be able to compete with the likes of
Nintendo and Sega despite its hardware superiority.
