− | Sure, the '''Jaguar''' is not the best console of its time. You might be better off getting a 3DO, N64, or PSX. Plus the controller is garbage (the 6-button "ProController" is a bit better), and the [[Jaguar CD]] add-on should come with a guarantee that it will ''not'' work... so we're not saying you should go get a Jaguar, BUT if you do have one, there are some very good games that might make it worth keeping. |
||
+ | First of all, the Jaguar is not the best console of it's time. You might be better off getting a 3DO, N64, or PSX. However, if you do have this, there are some very good games for it, although the library certainly isn't as memorable as some other fifth-generation consoles. Plus the contoller is garbage... and the Disc add on should come with a guarantee that it will not work... |

⚫ | |||
− | |This game is the tits, and you wouldn't know by looking at it, but this is a must own title, even for non-sports fans. Has little to do with football, and plays more like Ultimate Frisbee, giving it a feel like the cult classic "Deathrow" for Xbox. Object is to score the ball in the opponent's goal, and do so by beating the hell out of the opposing players, using punches, kicks, and 14 different powerups that appear on the field like bombs and axes. Decapitate an opposing player, and they are gone for good. Win by decpitating every opposing player or having the most points when the time runs out. Intense multiplayer makes this game hold up even today. Only thing holding back is a shitty password system and occassional frame rate problems. |

Most console ports of the era (SNES being the exception) are derivative of this one (Engine and Doom 1 Maps). <s>but for some reason, there's no music during gameplay.</s> Main reason music is absent is the DSP is handing collision detection. Just put the excellent PS1 doom music and you're g2g. |

− | |''"Wait, doesn't this one always appear in those 'worst games ever' lists?"'' Yes, it does, and for a good reason. The programmer was getting shafted by Atari, so he decided to withold the final version of the game until he finally got paid. So Atari said "fuck it" and just released some horrible 60%-finished version instead. Which is obviously not what we're recommending. |
||
− | You see, many years later, the poor guy let some Jaguar fansite have the code for the finished version, and they released the massively improved unofficial "Limited Edition". Good luck getting it, though: only ''28'' numbered cartridges were ever produced, and even the ROM is about impossible to find.

− | |A young secret agent invents a portable device to analyze molecular density, finds that certain people are actually shapeshifting aliens, and they have his memory erased. The best-selling French game ever, and an absolutely fantastic cinematic platformer. Back in the day, those vector cutscenes were utterly stunning! Also released for several other systems (the Mega Drive version is also great and may be the easiest to find, the SNES port is butchered). |
