Atari debuts CD player for Jaguar at $149.99
SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Jan. 6, 1995 - Prepare to shift your Jaguar into
overdrive.
Atari Corporation Friday announced that its new compact disc multimedia
peripheral will be available in the first quarter, priced at an amazingly
affordable $149.99, including a CD game. The CD player, which plugs into the
top of the 64-bit Atari Jaguar Interactive Multimedia System, plays CD-based
Jaguar video games and standard audio compact discs.
The Jaguar CD player provides 790 megabytes of raw data storage to allow for
the incorporation of many complex digitized images, full-motion video
sequences and loads of CD-quality audio soundtracks into Jaguar games.
The powerful double speed Jaguar CD player incorporates incredibly fast access
speed for smoother game play and its massive data capacity provides better
graphical detail, expanded plot lines and more characters, which all add up to
more immersive and challenging games. The first titles available for the
Jaguar CD player include: Battlemorph, Blue Lightning, Highlander, Demolition
Man and Creature Shock, with many more to come.
Atari's new CD Multimedia player includes the Virtual Light Machine (VLM),
which creates and displays light patterns on the video screen in response to
music played through the system. The result is a stunning light show. There
are 81 different pattern settings available on the VLM. The VLM is built into
the Jaguar CD Multimedia player.
"We want the Atari Jaguar to be the best value in the gaming market, as well
as, the most advanced system technologically," said Sam Tramiel, CEO of Atari
Corporation.
"With the new Jaguar CD Multimedia player, Jaguar owners will be able to play
incredible CD-based videogames, listen to audio discs and watch the VLM. This
combination of the most advanced technology, great software and affordable
pricing is what sets Jaguar apart from the competition."
Atari Corporation markets interactive multimedia entertainment systems,
including Jaguar, the world's first and only 64-bit game system, and the only
video game system manufactured in the United States. Atari is headquartered at
1196 Borregas Avenue, Sunnyvale, Calif. 94089.
