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

One of the platform's weakest games outsold Iron Soldier — purely by being on the shelf on day one.

At the Jaguar's November 1993 test-market launch in New York and San Francisco, this was effectively the only game you could buy that wasn't already in the box — the launch lineup was exactly two titles, this and the Cybermorph pack-in, with Raiden and Dino Dudes following within weeks. It was reportedly even considered for the pack-in slot. A horizontal shooter with large, detailed sprites built to demonstrate the Jaguar could push pixels — and slow scrolling, unmemorable patterns, and weak weapon feedback demonstrating nothing else.

And it was the sixth best-selling game on the platform at 23,829 copies, ahead of Raiden, Iron Soldier, and Checkered Flag. That single fact explains the Jaguar's launch problem better than any review ever written.

Worth knowing

Atari wanted a Mario. Programmer Eric Ginner had an idea for a side-scrolling shooter. Atari wanted a mascot to stand against Mario and Sonic. Trevor McFur is what those two requirements produced when combined, on a deadline set by the Jaguar's launch date rather than by the game.
It was nearly the pack-in. Atari considered Crescent Galaxy for the box before choosing Cybermorph. It shipped as a launch title anyway, and the short launch deadline forced several planned features to be cut — which is a large part of why a game that outsold Iron Soldier and Checkered Flag is remembered as one of the weakest things on the system.
The press was told it would be the pack-in, a month before launch. Electronic Gaming Monthly reported in October 1993 that the Jaguar would roll out first in New York and San Francisco the following month, with national distribution in spring 1994, and that the system would ship with one controller and a game — "probably Trevor McFur Saves the Crescent Galaxy". Atari changed its mind and put Cybermorph in the box. The same report expected five launch games at $40 to $70, and a CD add-on in 1994 costing between $250 and $350; the CD eventually arrived at just under $200.

Before you buy

Common and inexpensive; part of the four-game launch-window set collectors assemble deliberately. Included in Atari 50. Cataloguing note: "Crescent Galaxy" is the SAME game — databases listing both inflate Jaguar library counts.

Buying a Jaguar cartridge

Cartridges are the durable half of this library — the risk is provenance, not decay. The platform has an active post-commercial scene, so the question is usually which era a cartridge is from rather than whether it still works.

Ask for a photo of the label edge and the cartridge back. Reproductions are usually printed on adhesive photo stock and sit proud of the label recess.
Donor shells are the common trick: sanding marks on the back, or adhesive ghosting where an older label was lifted, are the strongest signals.
Cartridges are region-free on this platform, so a cheaper PAL copy plays on a North American console — a price difference is not evidence of a fake.
