Sorry about the sketch, I was detained by work.
I'll admit it, when the Jaguar came out, I read reviews of it in game magazines, and I thought Kasumi Ninja would be amazing. It was, for its time, photo realistic, and full of gore. The backgrounds were multiple layers, and NINJAS. What more could one ask for? It turned out to be not so great a game (according to reviews), but I wanted it anyways. Sadly, Atari did a trial release of the Jaguar, so I wasn't able to get one, not that I'd have the money for one, even if they did release them in Chicago. Years later, when I was a working man; I ebayed one with Aliens VS Predator (really just for Aliens VS Predator). To me, that was the game that made the Jaguar worth all the pain. It's still a bit of a shame that they didn't just go all in with it and let it take off.
