First released in North America on November 23, 1993, the Jaguar is a fifth generation home video game console developed by Atari Corporation and manufactured by IBM.[1][2] By 1996, the Jaguar and game development for it were discontinued.[3][4] The best-selling game is Alien vs Predator, with 52,223 copies as of April 1, 1995.[5] Hasbro declared the Jaguar as an open platform in 1999, releasing the console's patents and rights into public domain, allowing software developers to make and release games for Jaguar without requiring a licensing agreement.[6][7][8][9] Since then, hobbyists have released previously finished but unpublished games and produced homebrew games to the Jaguar's cult following.[10][7][11][12]
