| It was just you. 
Really, I thought about it alot of times, but I was always put off by those huge bulky controllers. |

| Never really liked the Jag too much myself. Some coin ops used Jag hardware though (Area51, Wargods, Maximum Force, Vicious Circle). It was meant to be a powerful console, but in all the games I saw running on it, none looked much better than those I saw for the SNES.
Infogrames have also owned the Atari name for quite some time anyways, hence their useage of the Atari logo/name on some of their recent releases like UT2003.

I always wanted one too so I just got a new one off ebay for £30 with a game! You can get them from Telegames for £30 too.
My favourite Ataris were the 2600 and the Lynx. |

| Not a Jaguar, the CD add-on made it look like a toilet!
A 3DO however, always wanted one of those - great concept-franchise style manufacturing and licensing - poor marketing and absolutely slayed by Playstation!
