The Atari Jaguar — The Last Atari Console

The Atari Jaguar, released in November 1993 at $249, was marketed as the world’s first 64-bit console and was Atari’s final hardware product. Despite genuine graphical capability — Alien vs. Predator demonstrated what the hardware could achieve — poor developer tools, a criticised 17-button controller, and a small software library limited its appeal. Sony’s PlayStation (1994) made the Jaguar commercially unviable, and Atari discontinued it in 1996 after fewer than 250,000 units sold, ending the company’s 22-year hardware career that had begun with Pong in 1972.
