Five PSOne games in less than two days (four of them 'Cool Boarders' snowboarding games)? You must be clearing out inventory in time for a Spring makeover! I actually bought 'Gotham City Racer' when it came out thinking that, if the Sega CD could do a fun racing game back in the mid-90's, then UbiSoft could surely do a decent one for the more advanced PlayStation. Should have known better. This game is to the PSOne what 'Air Cars' is to the Atari Jaguar: the anti-thesis of what fun videogames should be like. The game sold for only $29.95 new back then and I would have gladly paid $40 for someone to punch my lights out before going into the store so I wouldn't buy this piece of crap. Oh well, live and learn I guess!

Is Jag Air Cars based on a Windows 3.1 (that's my overarchig name for games I played on my old 386) game of the same name? Because I loved a computer game that had these little futuristic cars jumping chasams to try to reach a finish line. There was no fighting or anything, just attempts at expertly timing your jumps. I believe it was called Air Cars, but I could be wrong.

Well, I looked at it on ataritimes and Jag Air Cars is not the game I remember. Also, I assume it really does suck, as the guy at Ataritimes gave it a 41%. He's very forgiving of Jag games generally, so that means it really must suck.

Nope, that's not it. But a link I followed while searching led me to what I was thinking of: "Sky Roads". Yeah, so that's not close to "Air Cars" and I was way off. Hey, and it's for download there. Let's take a look....
Okay, I've played it for a little, and I realize that my reflexes were much better when I was a kid. I suck at this now.
