Lack of citations and wholesale copying of text
This article is uncited in a lot of areas, which is why I've added the requests e.g. where do the actual figures of 300 and 100 come from?
The major issue is the wholesale copying of the game manual text into this article. As can be seen by the citations they point to specific pages of the manual scans. On checking a PDF version of the manual e.g. http://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Atari_Jaguar/Manual/formated/AirCars_-_1997_-_ICD.pdf it can easily be seen that it has been copied to a very high proportion.

Maybe if you didn't edited out the references and sources i've linked you'll see the answer for yourself. Also, game manual references ARE allowed, look at Dino Crisis, the manual has copyright material, yes, but it's used under Fair use for educational purposes (just like i've done in BattleSphere), something you don't seem understand and want to fullfil your agenda against me here at Wikipedia. Read some of the stuff about references here: Wikipedia:Citing sources. KGRAMR (talk) 22:36, 26 April 2018 (UTC) An interesting view, perhaps you could point to the references I've deleted? I've added the citation requests where facts have been stated that are unverified.
Perhaps you should also look at, for example, the talk on mutant penguins where you have also wholesale copied the manual.
The important word in "fair use" is fair. If you took someone's exam report and added your name on the top and bottom then it would not be fair. If, as it says in the article on citations which I have read a few times, you should know that it should be limited, cited, surrounded by quotes. What you've done here, and in several other articles, is cut and paste, losing the attribution to the people who created the original copyrighted material.
You've been informed of this before as can be seen on your talk page when you were adding copyrighted text to the AVP article. At that time you were also informed of what was acceptable.

I'll now stick to just adding reviews of Jaguar games into their article 'cause since "you know so much about them", why don't you go and edit them your own way then? Don't bother me anymore after this. KGRAMR (talk) 15:32, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
I know enough to see where uncited "facts" are stated. FYI the 300 and 100 figures are still unaccounted for. There is no agenda from me but I do sense a persecution complex from yourself, never addressing the root issues but attacking anyone for pointing them out. This is not a personal playground.
