ATARI JAGUAR 30TH ANNIVERSARY 2023! - THE PRISTINE COLLECTION! - HEAVEN!

See ATARI's Press Release from November 23, 1993:

XBOX ONE launch-day (Nov 22, 2013) special!
Today November 22, 2013 Microsoft's AMD Jaguar powered XBOX ONE goes retail the same day (well, almost) exactly 20 years later.

Keep in mind that there have been a "Jaguar" powered games consoles long before Sony's PS4 and Microsoft's Xbox One. The world-first 64-BIT gaming and interactive multimedia system has been launched in 1993 ago by...
...ATARI!

Jaguars, November, pre-Thanksgiving, Decades with year 3... What a bunch of coincidences! ;-)

BTW: Did you know that the ATARI JAGUAR is a kind of a cousin to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and QL range of computers because a team of former Sinclair employees (Martin Brennan, John Mathieson and Richard Miller) were the key people behind the JAGUAR.

2023 Update: Jag is now 30, let's party!

The ATARI JAGUAR 64-BIT INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM!

Nice collection. But 22 min video with no commentary!?! Why?

[rachasul]

Isso sim é uma coleção de respeito!!!🎮

[KittyKittaw]

Very nice. Nice to see some old school demos. An art form, almost entirely lost.
Oh and yes, they were the first interactive multimedia system. (regardless of bits.)

[ElevenGamer]
