Marketed as the first 64-bit console, the Jaguar suffered from poor developer tools, a baffling 17-button controller, and a library of fewer than 70 games.
Atari bet everything on the Jaguar, marketing it with the slogan "Do the Math" to emphasise its 64-bit architecture over the 16-bit SNES and Genesis. In practice the architecture was difficult to program — the chip set required developers to write in assembly for optimal performance — and third-party support never materialised. Fewer than 70 games were released over its lifespan. Tempest 2000 and Alien vs. Predator were genuinely excellent but could not carry the platform.
