Thoughts on the new Aircars release

Post by Trev » Sun Nov 07, 2010 11:34 pm

I don't have it. I don't even have the original. I've only see videos ...

For those who bought it, what is your opinion of it? How does it differ from the original? Is it worth the cost? What are the pros & cons, etc...?
Most wanted - Eye of Typhoon, 3DO Magazines issues #14 & #15, Pro Stadium, Defcon 5

I never had the original but I've seen videos of it. I like the game, the dash doesn't take up as much screen and buildings blow up rather than just fall apart. It really needs an overlay. There is one on the back of the manual but it's a really poor scan.. not re-printable. I think it was worth the money.

Someone is working on a programable cart that can also be locked so others can't write over it. Hopefully it will end pricey production and kill limited releases. I got #21 / 100.

I finally was able to play the original Air Cars, and I can say that the KA Version, which is the one just recently released by Team Jaguar, is much better. Little things like Splash Damage from the stuff you blow up and being able to input your name adds to the fun of the game. I also found the dashboard in the KA version to be much better as well. As stated above, it takes up less of the screen and seems to be easier to read than that of the original release. I also seem to feel like the frame rate is better in the KA version, however, that could just be bias. Also, the box is much better for the KA version for sure. LOL

P.S. If you pay attention over at JSII, a user there did release an overlay and it is quite nice. I have one coming my way. :wink:

Ask and ye shall receive! Here is a link to get it from B&C Computervisions. They are tops when it comes to Jaguar. Expect some other nice Jaguar items to pop out at you too!
