AeroGauge (エアロゲイジ, EaroGeiji) is a futuristic, sci-fi[2] hovercraft racing game designed for the Nintendo 64 game console and was released in 1998 (1997 in Japan). The game was originally set for a U.S. release in February 1998,[3] but it was delayed first to April 2,[4] before finally getting the release date of May 21, 1998.[5]

ASCII's AeroGauge is conceptually similar to Psygnosis' Wipeout or Acclaim's Extreme G. The main difference is that the vehicles in the game fly instead of hovering, so it's possible to maneuver them in the air.

AeroGauge takes place in Asia during the year 2065. The game has four tracks and five vehicles from the start, with two additional tracks and five additional vehicles that can be unlocked via the Grandprix and Time Attack modes. Each of the vehicles is rated based on speed (maximum air speed), steering (turning capability), accele (acceleration), aero limit (speed needed to get airborne), shield (endurance), and stability (gripping power). All of the vehicles can fly high above the ground, so the tracks have multiple levels.[7]

Vehicle damage is shown with a meter on the bottom of the HUD. If a player acquires too much damage, their vehicle will stop and land. Players can repair damage by flying through the tracks' shield regenerating areas at low altitude.[citation needed]

The game has four different game modes which the player can choose from on the main menu.

Grandprix is a single-player game mode. It has a basic championship league, having the player race against computer-controlled vehicles on every map in the game. Before each race, the player is required to take two qualifying laps which determine starting position for the race based on the player's best time and how it compares to the computer's. The actual race is three laps around the course, against seven opponents. The player is rewarded points depending on their finishing position. Points from each race in the Grandprix are totaled to determine the winner.

Singlematch is also a single player mode. It is one race against computer A.I. on a track chosen by the player. Like the Grandprix, it uses two qualifying laps to determine starting position.

VS mode is a two-player game mode, where two human players choose a track and race on it. There are no qualifying laps and no computer opponents.

Time Attack mode is another single-player game mode. It is a time trial on a track chosen by the player. The player can choose to do either three or an infinite number of laps. If the player selects to do three laps, ghosts can be saved on a memory card and loaded to race.
