Atari Jaguar prices, all games & how to spot a fake

Midway's 1992 arcade shooter, released for the Jaguar in 2005 — and sitting undated on library lists next to Cybermorph.

A Smash TV descendant by Eugene Jarvis and Mark Turmell with art by John Tobias — dense, loud, relentless, and built around a twin-stick control scheme the Jaguar pad cannot provide. The catalogue point is the date: this is a 2005 post-commercial release, thirteen years after the coin-op and nine after the console's discontinuation, and it appears on a great many "Atari Jaguar games" lists with no date qualifier.

Before you buy

A modern-era release — say so plainly in the listing, because a buyer expecting period software will dispute it. Small run; verify availability before paying rarity prices.
