Atari Panther

The Atari Panther was the design codename for a cancelled video game console from Atari Corporation planned as the successor to the Atari 7800 and the Atari XEGS. It was developed by Flare Technology, the same ex-Sinclair team who worked on the cancelled Flare One and Konix Multisystem consoles.

Work started in 1988 with a planned 1991 release to compete with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Genesis. The Panther was never commercially released as the design was abandoned for the Atari Jaguar.

Hardware
The system has three primary chips:
 * 1) A Motorola 68000 running at 16 MHz
 * 2) An object processor called the "Panther"
 * 3) An Ensoniq sound processor, nicknamed "Otis", with 32 channels (presumably an ES5505)
