List of Atari Jaguar games

This is a list of all games released on cartridge for the Atari Jaguar, a fifth generation home video game console developed by Flare Technology and manufactured by IBM for Atari Corporation. The following list does not include games for the system's only add-on, the Jaguar CD.

The Atari Jaguar with the standard controller

Unveiled at the August's 1993 Chicago Consumer Entertainment Show,[1] it was first released on November 23, 1993 in the test markets of New York City and San Francisco,[2] and then in April 1994 for the rest of North America. The fifth (and final) home console under the Atari name, the Jaguar was marketed as the world's first 64-bit video game system, although its GPU and DSP processors were actually 32-bit based.

Atari released and marketed the Jaguar to compete with 16-bit consoles such as the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System and 32-bit systems such as the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer (which launched the same year), Amiga CD32 and Philips CD-i. The system's crippled multi-chip architecture that was difficult for most developers to program games for it,[3] combined with Atari's severely limited financial resources[4] and poor commercial performance in the market, resulted in a limited library of only 44 titles released in cartridge format during its official commercial run. Fewer than 250,000 units were sold;[5] sales of the Jaguar virtually plummeted in 1995 when the respective launches of the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation began outselling the console. Originally released at US$249.99, Atari dropped the price to $149.99 in 1995 for a few months before being dropped again to $99.99 in order to clear out the remaining inventory. The Jaguar struggled to maintain a substantial userbase during most of its life and by early 1996, the system and game development for it were discontinued; 6 more official games came out for the Jaguar at that point.

On February 13, 1996,[6] Atari agreed to merge with JTS, Inc. in a reverse takeover,[7] which would later take effect on July 30,[8] and on April 12, 1996, the company filed a 10-K405 SEC Filing.[9] After Hasbro Interactive acquired all the Atari assets in 1998,[10] the Jaguar's patents were released into the public domain,[11] declaring it an open platform and allowing anyone to freely create and publish software for the Jaguar without obtaining a license from Hasbro. Since May 14, 1999, when the announcement was made, the Jaguar continues to enjoy a cult following[12] with a slew of homebrew games being developed and released.
