Wow, I've never heard of that. What about that Panasonic gaming station they had a few years back? And did you know that NeoGeo is still around making new games? Crazy stuff.

i remember the CD32 and the jaguar, i just remember wanting one, but them things at the time cost loads ( it seemed. i was probably only less than 10 yrs old )
i did have an Amiga 600 with 1mb ram!! ohhhh that also seemed loads at the time!!
A-Train on Amiga? That's the game from Maxis isn't it? I remember ads for that in the original SimCity for DOS packaging. Was it fun? I sure would like to get my hands on a copy - DOS version preferably.
Never had a Jag...I don't think there was one game that didn't look like shareware.
The CD 32 never made it to the States, but I do remember reading about it.
I still have my Turbografx CD (though I hardly use it). Although it never deserved success, there were some good games. That was the problem: inconsistency. It had some brilliant titles like Lords of Thunder and Dracula X, but there were so many bunk titles it's not even funny.
I guess the selection in Japan was much better, 'cos the PC Engine lasted until the PSX over there...what about the UK?

Ok, I screwed up and lost my previous post that I was working on so this will be alot shorter...
The Jaguar was a 64 bit system when 32bit had just been released (Sega 32x - the add on for the Genesis). It had nothing in the way of game support (atleast, nothin' decent) 'cept for Alien Vs. Predator which to this day remains one of my favorites.
Panasonic had the 3D0, which was a classic. Again, it suffered from a lack of support, but it still was the first system to have Need For Speed. One of the other things that was great with this was, it only had 1 controller port, but each controller had a port built into it as well. This allowed you to "daisy chain" up to 16 (I believe - I'd have to dig it out of the closet to look) controllers.
There was also a Magnivox (I think - I never owned it) set top box, that cost a mint and had 'bout 2 games. Seems to me it was around $1200 and it had such classics as Sewer Shark and one of those goofy Full Motion Video shooting games - like Who Shot Johnny Rock. The biggest selling point of the system was, it had Comptons Encyclopedia available for it. Aside from that? It was just useless - I don't even recall the name of the system.
The Jag was not really a "64-bit" system. I believe it had a 64-bit bus and/or GPU. The CPU was a 68000 series - a mere 16 bits.
(Note: the above specs were culled from a rapidly fading memory. Take them with a fistful of salt. )
At any rate, the Jag was a mishmash of off-the-shelf parts that never meshed and wound up equaling less than the sum of the aforementioned parts. Combine that with a glut of mediocre to crappy games and you have...well, every system Atari made after the 2600!

Same Here!!
