![]() The Atari Jaguar compact digital media player, seen above from the most pleasing view. Ridiculed for having the aesthetics of a toilet lid. Originally due for release in the summer of 1994 it wasn’t until September 1995 it arrived. Priced at $149 the boxed unit contained the CD player and included 4 CD’s. These included the free games Blue Lightning, Vid Grid and a demo of Myst. You were also privileged to the soundtrack of Tempest 2000. The dollar value of these freebies was flaunted as over $100. In addition to the CD’s you also had the built in Virtual Light Machine (VLM). This displayed colourful mesmerising images on screen in beat to your music CD’s.
