Interview With Atari Jaguar creator John Mathieson

Posted by Hemos on from the rawr! dept.

Bill Kendrick writes "The website Toxic Mag has an interview with John Mathieson, creator of the short-lived Atari Jaguar 64-bit game system - the system we can thank for such awesome games as the original Alien vs. Predtor, Iron Soldier, and the gorgeously psychadelic Tempest 2000. The beginng and end of the interview are in French, but the actual questions and answers are 'en anglais.'"

    artidge-based and a less-than-aesthetic external CD module, this project was destined to be still-born.

    Noooh....wrong era. All consoles were cartridge-based then - this is the time of the Nintendo SNES (Super Famicom in the States) and Megadrive (Genesis). And besides, the Jaguar was a handheld.

    I used to work in a shop which sold these. Can't remember the name of its Sega rival, but it's the inferior Sega machine which won out. All the staff used to play the Jaguar games.

    Cheers,
