About I-War

I-War is a 3D virtual reality tank game. In each of the 21 levels, you must find all the data pods and make your way to the exit. Enemy tanks, turrets, and bombers stand in your way, as well as occasional traps or locked doors controlled by hidden switches. Levels are divided into simple, enclosed rooms, linearly connected by one-way teleporters.

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

A cyberspace shooter where the Jaguar's flat-shaded look finally reads as style instead of compromise.

A supercomputer called Override is corrupting databases; you fly into the machine to stop it. Mid-90s cyberspace aesthetic — neon wireframes, abstract geometry — and a smart match for hardware that was much better at clean untextured polygons than texture detail. The gameplay underneath is thinner than the presentation: objectives repeat and novelty carries it further than mechanics. Development churned through three working titles (Redemption, Dreadnaught, Netwar), which tells you the concept was still moving late.

Its studio deserves the footnote: Imagitec of Dewsbury shipped four Jaguar titles — Raiden, Dino Dudes, Bubsy, and this — the closest thing the platform had to a workhorse second-party developer.

How it was made

Imagitec Design developed the Atari Jaguar version, published by Atari Corporation. Credited: designed by Emerson Best; programmed by Andrew Seed, Karl West; art by Andrew Seed, Andy Noble, Karl West; music by Alastair Lindsay.

Worth knowing

Announced as Redemption. It was first announced under the working title Redemption. Early builds used only Gouraud shading; the team added texture mapping because they expected Atari to demand it — a decision made in anticipation of a publisher note rather than in response to one.

Before you buy

Uncommon (December 1995), modest demand. Search collision warning: an unrelated and much better-known 1997 PC space sim shares the name — verify you're looking at Jaguar listings.

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.
