How Powerful Was The Atari Panther?

Among the game consoles that Atari never finished and never released, the Panther is perhaps the most infamous of them all. If it wasn't for this system however, the Jaguar wouldn't have existed and the Lynx would have been their last system on the market.

H/T to @ctrlaltrees Lost Dragon, and Vince Miazzano for the info; as well as to Curt Vendel (RIP) for all of the work he'd put into revealing details on the system back when he was alive.

I meant to post this on June 27th, but editing took too long. All of the music/sounds come from Taito arcade games which used the same sound chip as the Panther would've used, giving you an idea of how it would've sounded in the hands of a capable musician.

Graphics wise though, it seems like it wasn't a huge jump up from the Lynx and it certainly lagged behind the Jaguar.
