More power to the beast: Atari Games' "CoJag"


Before Atari Corporation's reverse merger with JTS, Atari Games licensed the Jaguar's design and added some modifications like a faster processor and a hard-disk-drive. Atari Games published three games based on this "new" hardware:

Game      Year      Type      Hardware modifications
 
"Area 51"   1995   light-gun-shooter   The 68000 was replaced by an SGI R3K at 25 MHz
4 MB RAM
1 GB HDD
"Maximum Force"   1997   light-gun-shooter   The 68000 was replaced by an SGI R3K at 25 MHz
6 MB RAM
2 GB HDD
"Area 51: Site 4"   1998   light-gun-shooter   The 68000 was replaced by an SGI R3K at 25 MHz
6 MB RAM
2 GB HDD

 

There also existed some game combinations like the "Area 51" / "Maximum Force" Duo and some kits.
