The Last Strike

Here's something you don't see every day: a new shmup for Atari Jaguar (we've seen ports of old shmups though).
The Atari Jaguar was the home console that sunk Atari into bankruptcy at the time and is generally considered awkward because of its small library of games and the controller having a (unfair) reputation of being awful.
