Jag is 20 - The Movie

My biggest and most sophisticated video production so far. I hope you like it. Enjoy!

The JAGUAR and this video production is the reason why I was absent of the QL scene in the last couple of weeks. From next week on the Jag may rest and in accordance with my web alias QLvsJAGUAR the QL becomes again my retro-topic no. 1.

Cheers,
Urs

Strange machine the Jaguar really. I had one for a while, the good games were good and the bad ones were really really bad! I think it had a Sinclair connection too, some ex-Sinclair staff worked on the Jaguar?

Yes, the ATARI JAGUAR is a kind of a cousin to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and QL range of computers because a team of former Sinclair employees (Martin Brennan, John Mathieson and Richard Miller) were the key people behind the JAGUAR. The two processors, code named Tom and Jerry, were designed by Martin Brennan and John Mathieson while at Flare2. The controlling processor was a 68000. Nick Terry wrote the cross assembler for the two custom processors and Tim Dunn did additional work on the chip set and project managed the CD drive accessory after moving to ATARI. All ex Sinclair Research.
