Atari Jaguar Games
Overview
Date Range: 1994 - 1996
Atari released the first ever 64-bit game console and it was a technological success, but it was too late for Atari. Most of the games developed for the console were merely ports of existing 16-bit games.
Atari no longer had restrictive licensing agreements to maintain market share and had been absent from the market for a few years. On top of that, Atari had few game companies developing for it.
With limited success, Atari pulled the machine in 1996 and left the gaming industry forever. It is ironic that Atari captured the market with inferior consoles in the past, but with superior technology, they could not succeed.
