AirCars is a 3D shooter for the Atari Jaguar video game console. Designed by Midnight Entertainment Group in 1995, it was released by ICD, Inc. in 1997, in very limited numbers (the AtariAge website ranks it a "9" on a 10-point rarity scale).

The player must destroy enemy bases from an air car, and the game supports up to eight players using CatBoxes or two players using a JagLink.

"AirCars" came shrinkwrapped inside a box insert, but the cartridge includes a label and manual, along with a picture of what its overlay might look like.

Reception

"AirCars" was very poorly received by reviewers. It is listed as #13 in Seanbaby's list of 20 worst games ever, as published in "Electronic Gaming Monthly". [ [http://www.seanbaby.com/nes/egm13.htm Seanbaby.com - EGM's Crapstravaganza: The 20 Worst Games of All Time ] ] The game's advertisement is also regarded as very poorly done.
