Wow! Atari Karts is an 8 on the rarity guide?

I know I am in the vast minority, but I actually kind of thought WMCJ was... okay....

But then you played it? What? There's got to be more to your sentence ;)

I like that it came with a free Team tap.. although I don't think I ever used it for 4 players.. but I did use it a few times as a cheap controller extension :P

speaking of rarity.. this brings up the question.. why the heck is Double Dragon V go for so much these days? I remember seeing them all over the place discounted in the late 90's - never thought it was that uncommon.. not only that but the game is horrendous!

Nearly everything was easy to get ahold of at cheap prices when the liquidations occurred back in the '90s (even Atari Karts), but as the years go on, Jag stuff seems to be drying up. Even some of the bad games, strangely enough. :?

Graphics do look nice i have to agree. very smooth nice vibrant colors. great overall job graphics wise. Controls i wish could be better but they are what they are. Not a bad game at all.

It could compete and even win with mighty Super Mario Kart but:

1. Collisions with environment stop your cart instead of slowing down (that's so annoying)
2. It lacked power-ups which could give game a boost- like invincibilty bonus, some missles, speed-ups etc.

Anyway, it still an awesome racer and Jaguar needed more exclusive games with Atar Karts' quality.

Not to mention because of ihis it lacked any sort of battle mode. That was half the draw to Mario Kart in itself.
