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

The game that sold CD-ROM to households, arriving two years late on the drive that couldn't be saved.

Atari clearly hoped Myst would do for the Jaguar CD what it did for PC CD-ROM — the demo disc bundled in every retail add-on package makes the intention explicit. By September 1995 Myst was two years old and available on nearly everything. A competent conversion; load times are the recurring complaint, and the 2× drive is why.

Before you buy

Do not confuse the full retail release with the bundled DEMO disc — both circulate, and the demo belongs in the add-on's completeness checklist, not on a game listing at retail-game prices. Test-played or discounted.
