Find out what these ratings mean and how I rate video games.
I collect as much video gaming paraphernalia as I can get my hands on, especially when it comes to hardware. With over 40 systems including oldies like the ColecoVision and Intellivision, obscurities like the CD-i and 3DO, and the latest and greatest including the Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, 3DS, and PS Vita, I get easily overwhelmed. Most of the time you can find me firmly nestled sometime between 1985 and 1995 when it comes to my games of choice, but I'm also having a great time seeing what the 8th generation has to offer.

Atari Jaguar CD
Nerd Bacon co-founder “The Cubist” breaks down one of video gaming history’s oddest add-ons in the Atari Jaguar CD.

But the Jaguar CD would be Atari’s final breath as they called it quits shortly after. Read on for more information on this obscure piece of hardware.
Baldies – Atari Jaguar CD
If there’s one game to play for the Jaguar CD, it’s Baldies, but only by comparison. Gameplay is fun, but can be complicated to master. Music and graphics are decent, but not great enough to seek out this game if you can’t get it easily.
Primal Rage – Atari Jaguar CD
Primal Rage is a fun concept with a decent execution. Graphics on the Jaguar CD can be nice, but the lower frame rate and reduced sprites bring down the fun level. I recommend another port of this one.
