The waning Atari years were fun for a young(ish) gamer who didn't see the business disaster and wider media fuss unfolding around the company. The Lynx and Jaguar had some great games and were innovative in their own ways.
Since the brand's implosion, there have been a variety of Atari incarnations, all trying to be new and different while leeching off the original company's legacy. But the Lynx and Jaguar were left in the corporate loft, until indie developers starting finding love in those systems and releasing new titles. Even so, until the Evercade Lynx cartridges, there has been little formal recognition. Until now.
As part of Atari's 50th anniversary, the Nintendo Switch (and PS4, PS5 and Xbox) is getting an Atari 50 Collection featuring over 100 games from the brand's various platforms including Arcade, Atari 800, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Atari Jaguar and Atari Lynx.
Packing in some interviews and a retrospective, it looks like a decent collection, with most of the games TBA. But some have been announced, including:
Warbirds (Lynx)
Scrapyard Dog (Lynx)
Turbo Sub (Lynx)
Cybermorph (Jaguar)
Tempest 2000 (Jaguar)
Atari Karts (Jaguar)
Fight For Life (Jaguar)
Missile Command (Jaguar)
Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy (Jaguar)
Will update if more titles (with word of DLC) is announced.
