Ports 
A port of Virtuoso for the Atari Jaguar CD was announced in the January 1995 issue of online magazine Atari Explorer Online and was in development and planned to be published by Telegames. It was originally slated for a Spring/Summer 1995 release and later planned for a Q2 1995 release, however, Telegames UK president Pete Mortimer stated in a email exchange with website CyberRoach that work on the port and other upcoming titles from the company for the Atari Jaguar platform were suspended after sales of previous titles published by them were not profitable.
