It was marketed as 64-bit, was awkward to program for, and shipped 63 games in its entire life.
The Jaguar was Atari's last console, sold on a 64-bit claim that depended on how you counted its five processors. Developers found the architecture difficult and the library never arrived: 63 licensed games total, against thousands on its competitors. It ended Atari's hardware business in 1996, and the company was absorbed the following year.
