A'''''Rollcage''''' is a futuristic racing game series developed by ATD in the late nineties and published by [[Psygnosis]] on the [[Play StationPlayStation]] and PC.

Unlike the ''[[Wipeout]]'' series, the vehicles involved are still cars and subject to gravity, they're just huge and built with wheels on their sides big enough for the car to continue to drive either way up. And they can move at insanely high speeds.

It was followed by a sequel, Rollcage Stage 2, which discarded what liitle plot the original had in favour of more cars and tracks. It also added in a whole bunch of single and multiplayer mingames including a devious puzzle mode called Scramble with a look quite similar to [[Track Mania]]. Stage 2 also appeared on the PC, but under the name ''Death Track Racing'' for reasons never explained.
 
A [[Lighter and Softer]] version was later released called Firebugs. This was aimed at the newly emerged 'children given a [[Play StationPlayStation]] now their older siblings have a [[Play StationPlayStation 2]]' market.
 
It never quite sold as well as it could've, thanks mainly to having to [[Dueling Games|compete with Wipeout]] for advertising budget. Long overdue a modern remake, but it's currently a mystery who actually owns the IP rights.

* [[AI Breaker]]: In stage 2 one of the tracks has a short loop in it, because of this loop the game won't always know exactly who is in the lead, this means the leader missiles will keep circling the loop until the leader is long gone, making it very unlikely that they will actually hit something.
* [[Asteroid Miners]]: Leviathan Mining Corp, [[media:leviathanminingcorp_502.png|plundering the galaxy for you]].
