Did the Atari Jaguar Leave a Lasting Legacy!?

Which consoles truly left a lasting legacy? Does the Jaguar deserve respect for really trying to implement 3D graphics, introduce controller in-lays and did action buttons lead the way to VMU's and even portable gaming?! Myself and the rest of the Arcade Attack crew discuss the jag, plus many other consoles in this thought-provoking podcast. Also, if you hate our opinions, please shout at us! Thanks all. Adrian

I don't know about legacy, but it did leave us a "nice" community... Also, 3d graphics on the jaguar are an afterthought. It's nice to see its new role as an ST based console. It is interesting to watch the evolution of what could an ST based console be like.

@christos what do you mean "new role as an ST based console" - I thought the Jaguar was a totally different architecture to the ST line?

Most of the new releases are ST games ports (in the most basic of terms using a kind of emulation of the ST's video format).

I agree, the fact the Jag left a lovely community is what really matters.

In terms of a legacy, it was the final nail in the coffin of the original Atari as a company. Not a great legacy, but important in the history of video games generally.
