Atari Jaguar
The Atari Jaguar is a home video game console developed by Atari Corporation, released on November 23, 1993 in test markets in New York City and San Francisco at a price of $249.95, followed by a nationwide rollout in early 1994. The console was controversially marketed as "the world's first 64-bit game system," but actually used a Motorola 68000 32-bit CPU paired with two custom 32-bit coprocessors codenamed Tom and Jerry, with only certain internal components able to process 64 bits at a time, leading many in the industry to label Atari's marketing as deceptive. The console's complex multi-chip architecture, while ambitious on paper, made third-party game development extremely difficult, directly resulting in a severely limited software library of just 67 officially licensed games, of generally poor quality.
