And there was me thinking they were cartoon characters

Atari Jag. 64-bit ONLY because the data bus is 64-bits wide (I think).

Also an absolute pain in the backside to program for. No one ever used its full potential, because it required too much work for a machine that never really took off.

If it had some perfect arcade conversions that were as good or better than the SNK Neo-Geo, it may have stood a slight chance. It would at least make the machine worth owning back then. The number pad idea was actually quite cool, but overall the pad was poorly designed (no trigger buttons for a start).

unfortunately, the jaguar is a pile of crap. i have read on french forums about
the development on this plateform, it's under powered and the 64 bits have never been used because the main CPU is a poor 68K running at 26~Mhz.....
Ohh well

I don't know how many of you actually own Atari Jaguar but itsn't that bad, it has some decent games I'll mention:
Cannon Fodder, Soccer Kid, Pinball Fantasies, Rayman, Alien vs Predator, Doom, Wolfenstein 3-d, Worms, Tempest 2000 and bunch of others.
many Amiga ports eh?
while playing it though you do not feel power of 64 bit
