There's only like one or two games worth playing from Jaguar.

Depends if you like getting yelled at by an AI hologram about not learning things.

Ignoring the CD rom addition thing... cause that made the console look like a toilet, and I never had one.

Wolf/Doom on it was pretty unique and great ports for what it was.
Tempest 2000 was good
And AVP was good.

That's what I remember. I didn't have every game. I know games like Rayman were received well on the console.

It wasn't a completely shit console... Just needed more games... and possibly to cut costs somewhere. Cause it was expensive at the time, being a full 25% more expensive than the SNES (with a MUCH larger library) and 30% more than the Sega Genesis (with a MUCH MUCH larger library). They worried too much about specs rather than making/getting good games on the console.
