I still got a Magnavox Odyssey II, a C64 & Amiga, Sega Genesis (with 32x), a Saturn, a Dreamcast and a couple of PlayStation 1s cluttering up the apartment with lots of games for each. I really should sell some of it. Never owned a Jaguar though.

Tread Carefully there. He’s one E.T. away from unleashing hell on us all.
E.T. wasn’t worse than other Atari games that came out around 1981…83; not saying that it was a particularly good game, it couldn’t be.

Oh man, I had a Jaguar back in the day. Pulled a couple all night sessions playing Theme Park.

I own a few Jaguar AND a Jaguar CD Drive!
Such a subtle warning
so… is Zeke an honorary member of the British Museum?
I think Zeke wants to do to the British Museum what the British Museum did to the rest of the world.
Ohhhh, Atari Jaguar. So ZK will try to learn from humanity’s failures?
Just wait until he finds a Virtual Boy. Ethan will never hear the end of it.
For sure. That thing was the definition of the hype train ending in utter failure.
