The Atari Jaguar CD is a CD-ROM peripheral for the Atari Jaguar video game console. Only 11 games were released for the Jaguar CD during its lifetime. However, previously unfinished and homebrew games have since been released.
Atari Corporation announced a CD-ROM drive for the Jaguar before the console’s November 1993 launch. Codenamed Jaguar II during development, the Jaguar CD was released on September 21, 1995 for $149.95 (US) (equivalent to about $320 in 2025). It was originally scheduled for launch during the 1994 holiday shopping season, with multiple delays. In mid-1994, Atari and Sigma Designs signed an agreement to co-develop a PC board that would allow Jaguar CD games to be played on home computers, with a scheduled release by the end of 1994; however, it was never released.
