The Atari Jaguar console

The Atari Jaguar (AJ) was a console produced by Atari Corporation in 1993. Despite the intense marketing efforts by Atari, the Jaguar is in fact a 32-bit console rather than 64-bit, as a whole; only one part of its two CPUs were 64-bit. The console would prove to be the final home console release for Atari, before releasing plug-and-play versions of their older games.

Atari Jaguar CD (AJ-CD) was a CD addon.
