5 Atari Jaguar Video Games To Keep You Awake

There is a fact and a half that everyone has heard of the Atari game console, which looks visually compelling on a bulky CRT (cathode-ray tube television). The retro look does more for old video games (like the original Mega Man series), which were designed specifically for CRT televisions. Without the instant control for the CRT experience, some old school video games remain unplayable. Sure, there are emulators available, but the entire gaming experience is not the same. Today, we have LCD (liquid-crystal display) flat-screen televisions and smaller screens for cell phones, with video games incorporated.

Atari was released during the golden age of gaming and is a game console that we all can talk about forever. The game console is more popular than the Atari Jaguar (developed by the Atari Corporation and released in North America, in November 1993). Atari Jaguar is a predecessor of the Atari 7800 and the canceled Atari Panther. Okay. What are the top 5 Atari Jaguar video games to keep you awake? 

5: Brutal Sports Football: 

Feel like some sort of warlike gladiator on a football field in Brutal Sports Football. Simply tackle your opponents carelessly, rise up like a and attempt to score a touchdown. Brutal Sports Football is a seven-a-side football game, sharing similarities to Mutant League Football.

Each match has a seven minute duration where you can play as a Rhino, Liazardman, and Viking. During that time, there are two ways to win. You can score the highest amount of points or kill six of seven teammates on the opposite side. If you fail to accomplish both objectives, you will immediately go into sudden death.

4: NBA Jam: Tournament Edition: 

Two-on-two fast-paced matches with NBA players from the 1993-1994 season (1994-1995 on consoles) holds a special place in our hearts. Over 120 NBA athletes and 40 hidden characters are available. Have fun unlocking characters like Will Smith from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Larry Bird, and Hillary Clinton. Unlock cheat codes like a Slippery Court, Small Heads, Turbo Pass, and more.

Perform moves like runs, shots, headers, bicycle kicks, and advance your moves. Of course, use the soccer ball to eliminate your enemies. 

2. Atari Karts:

The video game was released in North America on December 15, 1995 and later, in Europe on December 22, 1995.
