Atari Panther

|
The Atari Panther was the 32 bit predecessor to the Atari Jaguar, developed by the same ex-Sinclair team Flare Technology responsible for the Flare One and Konix Multisystem.
It featured three chips, consisting of a Motorola 68000 running at 16Mhz, an object processor called the Panther, and an Ensoniq sound processor called Otis, featuring 32 sound channels. The Panther could display 8,192 colors from an 18 bit palette of 262,144 colors, and supported 65,535 sprites of any size simultaneously. The Panther was never manufactured as the design was eclipsed by that of the Jaguar. More information: http://www.homecomputer.de/pages/panther.html
