Fantasy World Dizzy, Rick Dangerous & Other Atari ST Classics Ported To Atari Jaguar

Atari-ST-Games-Ported-to-JaguarThe Atari Jaguar is a system that divides opinion like no other. Some people consider it a joke, while others are fascinated by the missed opportunity it represents and the outstanding mess Atari made in handling it’s final platform. Meanwhile, others still continue to debate (at length) whether the system really is a 64-bit console. One thing that is certain though, is that the Jaguar – like the Dreamcast – is a console that has an extremely active homebrew scene and community. Indeed, the Jaguar and Dreamcast share several recent indie releases including Alice’s Mom’s Rescue and Elansar. On this note, one aspect of the Jaguar that many detractors are quick to point out is the console’s paltry library of official releases – only 67 official titles were released on cartridge, while a further 15 made their way to the system’s add-on, the Jaguar CD. Apart from the numbers, one other major criticism of the Jaguar’s library is that very little use was made of Atari’s extensive back catalogue of recognisable and important titles, and lack of backwards compatibility with software designed for previous Atari systems (possibly using an adapter) is seen as a complete own goal.
