Atari Jaguar
The Atari Jaguar was marketed as the world's first 64-bit gaming console, though its actual architecture was more complex and controversial. Representing Atari's final attempt at console dominance, it featured unique multiple processor design and advanced 3D capabilities for its time. While it struggled with a limited library and developer support, it delivered impressive technical showcases like Tempest 2000 and Alien vs Predator. The Jaguar became infamous for its bulky controller with numeric keypad and Atari's aggressive 'Do the Math' marketing campaign against 16-bit competitors.
