Atari Jaguar Peripherals
|
|
|
An 'interesting' choice
of controller design by Atari. Loads of buttons were available if
required. Some games came with there own overlays. |
|
|
The Jaguar CDROM came
as a add on unit. It was famously refered to as a toilet due to its
appearance which probably didnt help sales. Only 13 games were actually
released for it. They are quite hard to find these days especially
still working. |
