Ah, eBay, the elephant graveyard of the gaming world. Today’s oddball find comes in the form of an unreleased Jaguar game, American Hero, which if you’ve got the CD add-on for the Jag (and, I guess, a Jag itself), is yours to bid on (this doesn’t look like an original, though, so don’t get too excited).

American Hero is a proud piece of Jaguar vapourware, which Atari sunk/lost a lot of money on. Directed by the internationally-reno ned David Schwartz, it was supposed to be the next great leap in “interactive movies”. Instead, it vanished without a trace and is now getting 15 seconds of fame only because its name is SO GREAT. And because its cover artwork is EVEN GREATER.

I’m considering throwing some cash down on it just for that pic. I don’t even own a Jaguar.
