3D Gameplay

The Atari Jaguar touted incredible 3D gameplay, but not many games were able to deliver. For a pack-in title Cybermorph got to show the world why the Atari Jaguar was ready to push the 16-Bit consoles out. 3D gaming was already popular in the arcades, while the Sega 32x and Super Nintendo’s Super FX chips were introducing it at home.

For one year, from the end of 1993 to the end of 1994, the Atari Jaguar was the system of choice for bringing 3D gaming home.

Cost

The Atari Jaguar was never released in Australia. Prices for the system have increased, and even more noticeably, for the games. Cybermorph is the single cheapest title in my collection. The game itself is big and feels complete, it’s synonymous with the Atari Jaguar brand and it’s the cheapest game you can buy.

Atari Jaguar games and systems don’t have region lock, so you can look anywhere for cheap games. Cybermorph was will always be available

Experience

The Atari Jaguar stands out, especially with its lack of hard-hitting big name games and supporting video game developers. It’s a fascinating system to look back at because of its range of unique, low-budget exclusive titles. Cybermorph was developed by Attention to detail, a UK-based company that went on to create some amazing titles like Rollcage for the Playstation, as well as Lego racers 2 and the Sydney 2000 video game.

The small developers who devoted their time and effort to making games for the Atari Jaguar left behind a library of incredibly quirky and strange games. The Atari Jaguar experience. Cybermorph shows us what the Jaguar was capable of, but also plenty of shortcomings.
