Born in 1993The Atari Jaguar a 64 bit console was released by Atari Corporation back 1993. It was the last to be marketed under the Atari brand until the Atari Flashback (not really a dedicate console but still!) in 2004. It was designed to smash the Mega Drive and SNES but as it was launched one year earlier, it was eventually in competition with the Sega Saturn and the PSone. A trick situation to be in!
Although it was marketed as the first 64-bit gaming system, which should have been a huge turning point in gaming, the Jaguar proved to be a failure and prompted Atari to leave the home video game console market. Despite its commercial failure, the Jaguar has a dedicated fan base that produces "homebrew games" for it. The Jaguar was the last console from an American company until the 2001 introduction of the Xbox.
