I have an Atari Jaguar, the cord length is a little bit shorter than Super Nintendo.

Is this Jaguar worth collecting?

I just want to play the console exclusives. I'm also on a quest to own every system that was a commercial failure so i can understand what causes it to happen.

the only thing I don't like about the jaguar are the controls. The games are ok. But the graphics was somewhat impressive on it's time. The games I like for the system was Tempest 2000, Alien vs Predator, Doom, Double Dragon V, Flashback, Iron Soldier 2, NBA Jam: Tournament Edition, and Pitfall the Mayan Adventure.

I've got Wolfenstein, Raiden and Cannon Fodder. The first two you can get anywhere and need no introduction; the last one was a cool little PC game. Hard to describe, but fun.

I love my Jaguar .. its all about Raiden and AvP. The controller takes time to get used to.. but I made my arcade stick work with it for Raiden.
