About AirCars

Designed by Midnight Entertainment Group in 1995, ICD released AirCars in limited numbers. No real box was made (it came shrinkwrapped inside a box insert), but the cartridge included a label and manual, along with a picture of what the overlay might look like. This is an action/battle game in which you must destroy enemy bases while in your Air Car, and it supports up to 8 players using CatBoxes or 2 players using a JagLink. Although better graphics can be found on the Jaguar and control is a bit sluggish, linking 8 players using CatBoxes can be a unique experience. The hard part will be finding those extra CatBoxes and copies of AirCars.

AirCars on Wikipedia

AirCars is a 1997 shooter video game developed by MidNite Entertainment Group and published by ICD for the Atari Jaguar. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the player pilots a hovercraft to fight the E.B.N.E.R.S. organization and stop their plans for world domination. The player is tasked with destroying key targets while fighting enemies and bosses in multiple missions. Two players can play in a co-operative campaign, or up to eight players can participate in a deathmatch mode via local area network (LAN).

Atari Jaguar prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A 200-copy print run, no outer box, and the overlay printed inside the manual — the strangest authentication profile on the platform.

MidNite Entertainment finished AirCars in 1995, then cancelled its release despite the game having passed certification — poor CES and E3 receptions and a failing company. ICD, maker of the CatBox networking peripheral, acquired the rights and released it in 1997 in a run of 200 copies. Its genuine significance is networking: first CatBox game, eight-player LAN deathmatch, and one of only three JagLink titles. As a game, retrospective consensus calls it the worst shooter on the platform. Buy it as an artifact, not to play.

One inversion every buyer must know: a well-documented 2010 community reproduction, AirCars 94, currently trades HIGHER loose than the 1997 original. Merging the two products' figures is the most expensive cataloguing mistake on the platform — and it runs in the direction nobody expects.

Worth knowing

Finished, then cancelled at the last minute. MidNite Entertainment completed the game and then pulled it at the last minute, facing an indifferent press response and its own financial trouble. It reached buyers only afterwards, which is why a finished 1997 game has the distribution history of an unreleased one.

Before you buy

Three absolute rules. AirCars shipped with NO outer box — shrink-wrapped manual, cartridge, and inner box only; a listing showing an outer box is a repro with custom packaging or an assembled fake. The keypad overlay is printed on the manual's last page, meant to be cut out — an uncut manual is MORE complete than a loose overlay, the inverse of every other Jaguar game. And always establish which product you're buying: 1997 ICD original or 2010 AirCars 94 repro. High counterfeit risk overall.

Buying a Jaguar cartridge

Cartridges are the durable half of this library — the risk is provenance, not decay. The platform has an active post-commercial scene, so the question is usually which era a cartridge is from rather than whether it still works.

Ask for a photo of the label edge and the cartridge back. Reproductions are usually printed on adhesive photo stock and sit proud of the label recess.
Donor shells are the common trick: sanding marks on the back, or adhesive ghosting where an older label was lifted, are the strongest signals.
Cartridges are region-free on this platform, so a cheaper PAL copy plays on a North American console — a price difference is not evidence of a fake.
