    what's with it? I see it as a joke option in polls, and brought up as a comparison to all sorts of things.

    I own one that I bought about 12 years ago and never played, so I am familiar with it's spec and history.

    Is it a mythical beast, a poor unfortunate or something else?

    Are you trying to fast track yourself into becoming a mod OP?

    It's the option to choose when you really couldn't give a shíte about the topic. Like 90% of the threads on AH

    Atari is a type of jaguar found is isolated areas of the world. Its is said to be more beautiful than a unicorn and emma stone combined.

    and seeing as wikipedia is blacked out, you'll just have to take my word for it.

    Goes back to the early days of Boards (when it was all nerds....ahem....). There was a few polls asking people whether they preferred the Sega Saturn or the Sony Playstation. Invariably someone would always ask 'What about the Atari Jaguar'.

    Now it's become an in-joke that most posters don't really get
