I think they should like just make the movie about how awesome the Atari Jaguar is. I <3 it.

Hehe, you think you love it now.  I loved it like crazy when it came out.  I was so proud of Atari back then -- it was my only fanboy period.

See the Jaguar entry (#14) on this for reference:

And here's the original Atari Jaguar press release:

Sadly, most of the games for it were absolutely terrible, but there were about six that were really good.  I believe I have all of them.

I still need to pick up one of those. I remember playing Cybermorph on a Jag with a VR helmet at a film special effects expo in the mid 90s. Descent with a VR helmet was totally disorienting

I enjoy bad games though.

I also think the Jag is awesome.  It is one of my favorite consoles and is getting the most play right now.  Maybe I am biased because it's an Atari.  It had a lot of potential but most of the games do suck.  Games like I War and Club Drive are hard on the eyes but games like Tempest 2000, Rayman, and Raiden are good

Here are my favorite Jaguar games:

Doom
Wolfenstein 3D (best Wolf3D version ever, seriously)
Tempest 2000
Cybermorph
Iron Soldier
Rayman

Alien vs. Predator is ok.
Checkered Flag was kinda fun as my first 3D racing game, but it actually sucks
Ultra Vortek was a slightly decent Mortal Kombat ripoff for the Jag

I actually have the CD unit too, and on that I enjoy BattleSphere and Myst.
