Alien vs. Predator

Awesome game! AvP is a first person shooter. You can choose between a marine, alien, and predator. The graphics are not so great by today's standards, but they will have you on the edge of your seat. Although the frame-rate is sort of slow it does not hinder the game in anyway. I highly recommend this game.  Rating:

Baldies (CD)

A fun little strategy game. Nothing about this game is very fancy but is gets the job done. The control is simple and so are the graphics. Don't expect to be blown away by this game, but if you have the Jag CD it is definitely worth getting.  Rating:

Blue Lightning (CD)

This game comes free with the Jag CD so there is not much choice concerning whether or not to get it. If it was up to me I probably would not purchase this game separately. An uninspired combat/flight sim is not worth much to me; however, on occasion, this game has been a good way to waste time so that gets it an extra star.  Rating:

Checkered Flag

Yuck! An awful excuse for a racing game. The graphics are pretty good considering when it was made, but the control kills it. The control feel very...very, well extremely bad. Unless you just have to have this game avoid it.  Rating:

Club Drive

Racing games are just not the Jaguar's forte. With the exceptions of Power Drive Rally and Super Burnout the Jag does not have any good racers. Club Drive isn't exactly bad, but it definitely is not good. The control is miles better than Checkered Flag's; however, it is still kind of loose. The graphics are very bland with hardly any textures. A decent game but not great.  Rating:

Cybermorph

Cybermorph was the pack-in game that originally game with new Jaguars. This game is like Star Fox except you can move around freely. Although the visuals are first generation, it is fun and that makes it worth buying if you haven't already got it.  Rating:

Defender 2000

This is Jeff Minter's updated version of Defender. Some like it, some don't. I happen to be one that doesn't. I cannot explain why I don't like the game, I just don't. My favorite part of the cart is the hidden game of plasma pong. I like pong, I don't like Defender 2000. Rating:

Doom

It's Doom, what else can I say? The graphics are on par with the pc version, the control is good, and it has a [buggy] multi-player mode! There are a few monsters missing and no music, but overall it is a very good game. Rating:

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story is a sub-par fighting game. Visuals are 16-bit looking and the control is sloppy. This game is on my top 10 least favorite Jag game list. I would give it 1 and 1/2 stars but I don't feel like make a 1/2 star icon right now, so it's stuck with one star. Rating:

Evolution: Dinodudes

Dinodudes is a strategy game that is in the style of lemmings. This game looks no different that what one might expect on a 16-bit console, but this does not hinder the game play. Bottom line is that this game is fun. Rating:

Fight For Life

For a game that's several years old the graphics look okay. The control is somewhat slow and sloppy, reminding me a little of Kasumi Ninja's sluggish control. FFL a below average fighting game that can on occasion be fun. Rating:

Flashback

Flashback was the second game I ever played on my Jaggy. I always thought this game was extremely fun. Visually the game looks like what it is, a 16-bit port of an adventure/platform game, but everything looks very smooth so it's no problem. Rating:

Flip-Out

Flip-Out was the first Jag game I ever played. I love this game. The concept is very simple: flip object until you get them in the right spot. Graphics are not much; nonetheless, this is an enjoyable little puzzler. Rating:

Highlander (CD)

A fun RPG that is impossible with out a memory-track cartridge. The backgrounds are beautifully detailed. Yet for some reason your character is not. Oh-well a minor complaint considering this is the only game of it's type on the Jaguar. Rating:

Hover Strike

The graphics are all right, but seem a little bland. The control is slippery, although since you are driving a hovercraft it's not that big of a deal. Some of the missions are interesting, but overall I found this game to be boring. Rating:

Iron Soldier

This is one of the Jag's best. If you like mech games chances are you'll love this. The graphics look outdated now but still look cool, especially the helicopters and tanks. Rating:

Kasumi Ninja

Kasumi Ninja should have been a good game. The graphics are good and it is the only fighting game I know of that came with a headband! The game falls flat when it comes to control. Sloppy and slow is the best way I can describe it. I still enjoy this game, but it's sad to think how good this game could have been. Rating:

Missle Command 3D

Missle Command 3D is another updated classic like D2K and T2K. It does not exceed the greatness of the latter, but definitely [IMHO] out performs the former. The graphics are decent in all three modes and the control is right one. A fun game. Rating:

NBA Jam: Tournamnet Edition

This is quite possibly the best port  from the arcades that exists for this game. The graphics are better( not a whole lot better, but better) than other home versions. If you like NBA Jam you love this game Rating:

Pitfall: The Mayan Adventures

Yet another port from 16-bit systems. This is a decent side-scrolling platform game. The coolest part of the game is the hidden 2600 version of Pitfall. That alone is reason enough to buy the game.  Rating:

Power Drive Rally

This is my favorite racing game on the Jaguar. The action is viewed from a top down perspective and the graphics are very smooth and clean. The control is great and there are lots of options. Rating:

Raiden

I love Raiden. The is one of the best [only?] shoot'em ups, excluding TK2, on the Jaguar. Raiden is a vertical scrolling shooter that is great to play alone and with a friend. If you don't have this game get it. Rating:

Rayman

Here it is, the best platform games on the system. The visuals are colorful and lively and everything and carefully detailed. Be forewarned this game is a real challenge and may cause large amounts of time to be wasted. Rating:

Super Burnout

Super Burnout, along with Power Drive Rally,  is one of the best racing games on the Jag. It is most definitely the best motorcycle game on the system. The graphics are sprite based and look great. The frame-rate is amazing on this game. The control is exactly what it needs to be. If you are looking for a racing game I would recommend to buy this game immediately.   Rating:

Tempest 2000

This is Jeff Minter's updated version of Tempest. T2K is considered by most to be one of the top 5 games on the Jaguar. If you have a Jaguar and don't have his game you're missing out on one of the craziest high-score games ever created. Rating:
