    Something to do with an old game console, so yes it's a nerd thing.

    I'm actually mortified that I know this, I am not a nerd - there was a thread on this before, that's how I know. Honestly.

    I had a Sega Megadrive 2 so I beg to disagree...

    there were some polls where people were asking if people preferred/owned a Sega Saturn or a Sony PlayStation, then someone asked why there wasn't an option for Atari Jaguar, thus the legend began....

    You leave the Dreamcast out of this!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,689 ✭✭✭Tombi!


    It was one of the most entertaining console in the world. 10 times more powerful than a PC bought nowadays.

    It was also like asking "do you want tea, coffee or a punch in the face". And if you chose Atari Jaguar you were hard since you'd take that punch in the face.

    Commodore 64 and the Sega Master-system is where its at. Load tape games and watch the counter for about 30 minutes!!

    With the way games are nowadays it's nearly the same bleedin' thing.

    *spends an hour downloading a game*
    It's just like back in the 80s!

    The 2600 was way better.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,288 ✭✭✭TheUsual


    It had a small memory. Smaller than you think.
    Well ok, it had no memory at all. Which made programming it kind of pointless.

    The CPU actually had a hamster on a wheel inside it.

    Unreal- hamsters! Hard to believe now looking back, I read somwhere that once the change to squirrels was made, the gaming world was turned on its head. Speed, power, atari jaguar, all those things .zzzz. . .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,478 ✭✭✭magick


    Well, I for one Atari Jaguar!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,893 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus


    Like there has ever been anything better than the c64.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,652 ✭✭✭fasttalkerchat


    I had an Atari that looked like it was made from wood. You had to blow out the dust before starting it and there was a button that didn't do anything as far as I could work out. I was 4 years old when I got that console and sold it aged 6 (idiot idiot idiot). Remember it so well and still miss it.

    Dude you've got 1600 posts on an internet message board. There's no getting away from it, you're kind of a nerd!

    As one of the few people who were around back in the day, I can confirm that this is the case

    The Jag' was Atari's attempt to re-enter the console race after they almost singlehandly cause the N. American video game crash of '83. It was rubbish. The controller resembled a mobile phone, rather than a game pad. Anyone remember the 3DO? It was released around the same time and had the price tag of $600 dollars, and was a total flop too. I actually had one. XD


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    lol @ "is it a nerd thing?" :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,427 ✭✭✭Morag


    Bring back the boards wiki, so we can just send people to the page on this and stop the endless threads by noob who don't search for an answer first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,274 ✭✭✭Monty - the one and only


    Well that makes no sense... if somone wont search the forums for an answer.... why would they search a wiki?

    Aside from that, "noob"ness is relative. :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    A dental company bought the rights to the shell so the console has now become a dentistry tool :pac:

    Only good use out of that horrible console. Barely had a handful of good games for it.

    The Atari Jaguar had a CD add on, much like the Sega CD. What a piece of sh*t.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,427 ✭✭✭Morag


    It would mean that a link to the biki could be posted and the thread locked :P



    /waits for a 98 reg to come along and call monty a noob.

    Nerdiness is contagious.

    Was I the only person who had an Amiga 32bit?

    I still have my Amiga 1200. I moved the motherboard into a tower and upgraded the CPU, added a bunch of ram, a hard disk and CD drive. It's totally leet. I take it out now and then to play old classic games that haven't suffered from being rebooted on consoles and losing everything that made them good.

    I think my Amiga 32bit just ceased to exist.
