I'm arguing with you for a little bit of fun, because its nice to have a converastion that does not have to do wtih current gen and who's winning or loosing. Not only that I love old technology. But here's a thought and its your choice to continue this: With a 6 megabyte cartridge limit (roughly the size of the last run of SNES carts in Japan which are defined as 48 megabit) and a console with that much power (which for the time was a lot) if proper development was invested along with cash, how great the games could be. Afterall, the fail of the Jag was based solely on its software library getting poor reviews. It could have been very successful. I bet with with a modern budget and some of today's top notch developers you could have some incredible games. Oh and don't forget Rayman and AVP, they were both huge sellers for the JAG. It almost made the system worth owning in retrospect. :)

Well, I figured I would jump in again with another Atari thread on here, just because I could. The Jag rant in this case was a typical fanboy thread, framed in an absurd context, using a console considered among the 10 worst EVA to show how absurd it is. I find it silly one would think of the PS3 being an underdog console. Sony has been the top player, and their system while selling third, has cost more. As I posted, if the PS3 is a flop, then this generation is the best ever. I also like multiple games on the PS3. I do have a distaste for Sony fanboys, and Sony management though (Although Jack Trenton not being arrogant helps a lot to mitigate things).
Old technology and studying the past helps a lot with perspective. In regards to Rayman, I never got it (although it was said to be good), and I thought AvP was a bit overhyped. I thought it moved WAY too slow for my tastes. I was more Iron Soldier and Tempest 2000. I found Raiden was really good to also, but I am a SHUMP fan, so take that for what it is worth.
In regards to the Jag, it was just too hard to code for and games now would look WAY dated. I think probably the high point for Jag coding is Battlesphere. Good luck hunting that down. And now, it would just be dated.
