Turns out $400 for a "broken" Atari Jaguar is a fantastic deal - Retro Console Restoration

Looks like the "behind the scenes" video format is here to stay with another unscripted and minimally edited repair project. This week it's a faulty Atari Jaguar that I bought from eBay, and I paid a handsome penny for it even though it was listed "for parts".
I've never seen an Atari Jaguar in person before, and knew close to nothing about it growing up. It does indeed have a bizarre controller but otherwise looks like a normal cartridge based system for the era. I managed to get this one working and it turns out the $400 I paid for it was an awesome deal due to the rest of the game carts bundle (system was $355 + $25 shipping and I bought an aftermarket A/V cable for $20).
It's always eye opening to me when I find systems that require very little attention to get them working. Granted the seller of this system knew it was worth something even "for parts" so it wasn't exactly destined for the trash, but nonetheless its an awesome bundle that I'm ACTUALLY going to game on and enjoy. This one is going under the TV, not on the shelf.

Thanks for the flashback. I worked on the case design for that console back in the 90s. I didn’t have anything to do with the electronics but I did a little case redesign and some of the graphics. Did you know there was a blue version planned for the east coast and the dark gray was for the west coast and the power button was supposed to be a small round post. Atari’s Jaguar director made almost every mistake you could make while developing this console. It was like they wanted it to fail.

@AerFixus 2 года назад

@@deadsi Reverse voltage is really bad for most devices. It doesn't matter if it's meant for one way or the other, there is a good chance you will damage your device if you send it the wrong polarity of electricity. A well designed device includes protection against it, but to save costs, the extra parts required to add protection can be left out when designing the product. The Atari Jaguar is one of those devices without the required circuitry to protect from the wrong polarity of power.

The PPC cards for my Amiga 1200's sold for about €270 each. The only one on Ebay now is at €3,500. An Amiga 1200 itself was selling for around €40 on Ebay now the average is €600-€700. If I had kept it all for 15 years, I'd be looking at €30-40k easily. I suppose the lesson is, never sell anything. Store it in a box somewhere.

I found a complete jaguar in retro video store for about $329. Got the flash cart from Retro HQ and plays wonderful. Add the right adapter, HD retrovision cables and a retrotink the built in RGB looks pretty good. Most of the games are crappy but very impressive for the time. Tempest 2000 is probably the best one.

@njones621 2 года назад

They are rare, but sometimes you can find a super deal on eBay! Once I bought a parts only lot of consoles for super cheap because there wasn't a lot of info and it was a bit of a gamble. It was a NES, SNES, N64, PS2, PS3 and original Xbox. When I got them, I started testing them, and not only did every one of the consoles work, but the PS3 was a backwards compatible model, and the Xbox had been modded and had hundreds of games loaded on it. It was insane. Only thing I could figure is, it was some parent who cleaned out their attic and didn't want to take the time to test them. I still have several of those consoles. They were all in excellent condition!

@BorderlineOCD 2 года назад

That's an awesome haul. When you get lots like that theres a high chance it was a single owner. I've also noticed sports games are usually bundled by resellers because they are cheap. A single owner is more likely to bundle a valuable collection with their console if they are getting rid of it. You only need to luck out once, and from the looks of it you already have.

As an Atari fanboy with STs and Lynxes I knew it was a great price though and would be worth something one day. Its only recently the values have soared really. Actually had fun playing Theme Park on it, it was such a simple game but even then the console couldn't handle it, it basically ground down to a halt when you got really successful and there were too many customers! lol.

Very cool to have a boxed unit. Hope it provided some good times when you were a kid.

I worked for a video game store while In high school and we had one Jaguar that sat on the shelf for over 2 years. No one wanted it and no one bought any of the games. Meanwhile we were selling PS1, SNES, Nintendo 64, and Sega Saturn like hot cakes.

I replaced the power supply with a new old stock and cleaned the slot as it get dirt. That what was wrong with mine as dust and dirt is a big issue.

Indeed the cartridge port pins seem to be very sensitive.

I know it's late but you missed to bend the front most zwo bins back on the shield. They also missed their holes in the shield

I remember a friend buying this . He brought it over to mine brand new and I think we played “wolfenstein” and a few hours into play the thing literally started smoking… grey black smoke lol. I thought was pretty cool , he didn’t. Lol

I would pay to have those sad things disposed of, win-win

May have already been mentioned/asked, but do modern TVs accept or translate analog signals? I mean, the RF output is analog?

@BorderlineOCD 2 года назад

If you have an analog tuner in your HDTV then yes. My TV is an older model which has a bunch of component, s-video and composite inputs in addition to the familiar HDMI.

This console is really different, never heard of it, specialy here in Europe. The controller looks like a phone and it read cds and cartridge. Looks nice to own.

It’s biggest appeal is it’s dedicated fanbase still making new games and even new hardware accessories for it.

@BorderlineOCD 2 года назад

Just recently became aware of the indie game scene for this system, and as you mentioned it is alive and kicking.

"You guys have no idea how excited I am right now." You're right! We don't xD I'd be jumping up and down the chair

@BorderlineOCD 2 года назад

I'm not one for overreactions on camera, but trust me I was excited :)

@@BorderlineOCD love the videos! and every time you do smile, it's honest and your eyes light up with joy for the subject. So cool! Keep it up!

@joshbessler6991 2 года назад

Damn, I hate when people use clothing, towels, and sheets as packing material. It's like Russian Roulette for bed bugs lol. Great video! Jag has always one of those systems where the cost outweighs the enjoyment of ownership, but with the resale of those carts it's a no brainer (as long as it all works).

@BorderlineOCD 2 года назад

I've been keen on getting my hands on some of the more obscure systems lately. TurboGrafx-16 is next on the list.

I just scored Towers 2 CIB for $199. I saw that price and had to jump on it.

@SergeiMosin Год назад

Yikes. I remember Circuit City putting piles of them up at the front of the store basically BEGGING people to take the things because they just couldn't sell them. They were on sale for... I want to say less than $100 towards the end because they just couldn't move them.
