Street Racer is an action racing game for one to four players played from an overhead view. The screen is split into two lanes; in one or two player games, each player has a lane. In three and four player games, players must share the lanes. Each game has a two minute and sixteen second time limit, and your goal is to earn as many points as possible by the end of this time. In addition to the basic racing version, several other game variations are included as well.

lots of game modes, but unresponsive controls and a CPU opponent dumber than a sack of rocks.
Just not very fun to play despite trying to give you variation in game modes
Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 5: Atari Vol 2
Oh lord this game is butt ugly, even by 1977 standards its butt ugly with some absolutely horrible colour choices. Even if we ignore that, the game just isn't all that fun. Sure there's a lot of modes but all basically follow similar mechanics and while having a two and a half minute gametime doesn't sound like a lot, it feels like an eternity somehow. I guess some classics should stay buried.

Esse jogo me fez retroativamente apreciar o legado de Enduro.
Some of my favorite games to look at from this long ago are ones like this that had people at the time saying how bad the graphics were. Usually I just think its funny because the difference between good and bad graphics during the early eras of gaming are so negligible that its amusing that people still had revulsive reactions to some of them, but in Street Racer’s case its pretty justified.
Even by Atari 2600 standards, which considering this was a launch title in 1977 weren’t even technically set yet. Like this was Atari’s standard up to that point and people still went ‘eyyeuuch.’ One of the reasons this ends up not being in the basement of the 70s Atari titles is that it gave the player a ton, relatively, of different gameplay options. The titular game mode sees you just racing upwards in your sort of car and trying to avoid other sort of cars while scoring points for not mashing your sort of cars together, then there is Slalom, self explanatory, Dodgem which is similar to the default gameplay except instead of sort of cars they are sort of obstacles and you actually leave the bottom of the screen, Jet Shooter, which turns you into a sort of helicopter to shoot at sort of jets, Number Cruncher, which gives you points for running over numbers, and Scoop Ball which has you picking up square balls to put in receptacles. I can’t say any of them are worth playing now or anything and it looks like total shit but its a four player game with multiple gameplay modes, what a bang for your buck this must have been, even in the three years before the economy became permanently destroyed.
