AeroGauge is a futuristic hovercraft racing game for the Nintendo 64 released in 1998 (1997 in Japan).

Ascii's AeroGauge runs basically along the same conceptual lines of play as Psygnosis' Wipeout XL or Acclaim's Extreme G. The main difference is that the vehicles in the game fly instead of staying a few meters over the track, so it's possible to maneuver them in the air (unlike the previously mentioned games).[1]

[edit] Reception

The game has had mixed reviews (mostly critical).

It has received a '4.5 Poor' rating on Gamespot with one reviewer saying, "AeroGauge is really nothing spectacular as it displays some of the worst pop-up seen in a racer in a long time."[1]
