The [[Atari Jaguar CD|Jaguar CD]] is a [[CD-ROM]] peripheral for games. It was released in September 1995, two years after the Jaguar's launch. Thirteen CD games were released during its manufacturing lifetime, with more being made later by [[Homebrew (video games)|homebrew]] developers. Each Jaguar CD unit has a [[Virtual Light Machine]], which displays light patterns corresponding to music, if the user inserts an audio CD into the console. It was developed by [[Jeff Minter]], after experimenting with graphics during the development of ''[[Tempest 2000]]''.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Minter|first1=Jeff|title=VLM - History|url=http://www.minotaurproject.co.uk/vlm.php|publisher=[[Jeff Minter|Llamasoft]]|access-date=June 11, 2015|archive-date=May 19, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150519043441/http://www.minotaurproject.co.uk/vlm.php|url-status=live}}</ref> The program was deemed a spiritual successor to the [[Atari Video Music]], a visualizer released in 1976.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Wolf|first1=Mark J.
