All that was left was for me to re-read the same magazine previews and dream. My parents pointed to the Super NES they bought last year and made it clear they weren’t buying another system.

If I could have bought a Jaguar with a pocket full of nickels and dirt, I would have traded all that I had. NO ONE ELSE had all three cinematic badasses in a killer next-generation game – but if you wanted them, you had to live in Jaguar Country.Īlas, I was a kid. And like manna from heaven, here comes a game that looks better than Doom (in magazine stills – we’ll get to that in a bit), set in the Aliens universe with all the coolest weapons, and lets you play as the Alien and Predator to boot. Xenomorphs were my jam, in just the same way that Doom had captivated me as a completely new way to play video games.

I had the Kenner action figures and the little Dark Horse comics that came with. I had worn my censored copy of Aliens (taped off of a Fox broadcast one night) into magnetic dust. See, now you were speaking a preteen’s language. Then AvP showed up and it became my mission in life to own a Jaguar. There was Nintendo, there was Sega, then there was a muddled mass of “the rest.” The different consoles and their marketing messages just blurred together in a way that, in retrospect, was probably the closest I’ve experienced to the ’83 video game crash.

I think I remember in-store videos of Cybermorph looking interesting, but I also remember PC flight sims with basic polygon graphics were common on those same demo TVs, so the effect wasn’t something I hadn’t seen before. Beyond that, nothing particularly caught my eye.

Those pesky Aliens are at it again!Īll I knew about the Jaguar was that it could run Doom, and that was a big plus because my parents wouldn’t let me play it on the family computer. The CD-I was an… education system? And finally, there was the Atari Jaguar. The 3DO sold for a bananas $700, so it was all the way out of my reach. Sega seemed to be panicking with a flustered launch of the 32X, the Saturn, the promised Neptune, the Nomad – it was hard to see “the future” in any of those scattershot releases. Based on my experience with its library, “multimedia” wasn’t working out that well. It was clear multimedia was the big push behind these new consoles, but I had a Sega CD. In the meantime, I remember giving quizzical looks to the likes of the CD-I, the 3DO, the TurboGrafx-16, and over in Europe, the Amiga CD32. It wasn’t until 1995 that the Sony’s PlayStation’s dominance squashed all these contenders. But in the gaming rags and on the shelves of Babbages, it was clear that a lot of companies other than Sega and Nintendo now wanted to muscle in on my pastime. I personally had just gotten a Super NES in 1992 and was merrily exploring its catalog through Blockbuster rentals. perspective, 1993 to 1995 were confusing, cluttered times in video game history.
