Um dos primeiros jogos de corrida em primeira pessoa da história, o objetivo é bem simples, pilotar um veiculo com diferentes marchas de velocidade numa pista até o tempo acabar e tentar fazer uma boa pontuação.
Joguei primeiro a versão de Arcade, que é bem funcional e até que fluida, já a versão do Atari 2600, eu não gostei de nada, muito inferior a original em tudo pra mim.

Estranhamente relaxante. É só você, seu carro, as luzes da estrada e o som do seu motor por 100 segundos. Em altas velocidades, com as luzes riscando a tela, você começa a parar de pensar e só fazer as curvas no instinto, tentando ir mais rápido e mais longe o quanto puder.
(BTW, minha primeira platina no Retroachievements)

really impressive for the time it came out, but i feel like later variations on the first-person racing theme (pole position, enduro) improved on it tremendously. this could just be an issue with how i'm running the game, but i had a lot of difficulty controlling the car at higher speeds. the visuals, while charming, became a little disorienting to me at such speeds (especially the little lines marking the road). not my favorite racing game for the system, but certainly a historically important game and one worth checking out.
This is actually a pretty enjoyable experience. Just drive with 4 gears and try to stay in the cones (or... boxes... or rectangles...). The parallax 3D thing is pretty awesome for 1976. I played for a few coins which is more than I can say for most things from before 1978.
Also SEIZURE WARNING.
3 - Decent: Fun but not really "good"

ah, this takes me back. not only to a time when an atari flashback was my only consistent source of video games, but also back to those suffocatingly quiet nighttime drives out to the pier with my father. my strange, probably-depressed father taking a stressful drive with a stressful kid after stressfully preparing for the trip out to where he could fish and just detense for once in his stressful busybody life. i don't think i understood then that trips like those were as important to him as they were to me, the kid eagerly running back and forth between where our poles were posted and the little snack shop a few hundred feet away. i can still feel the cold wind trying to fight its way into my windbreaker (pockets full of shoplifted oreos, of course). in-between the crunchy beeps and boops of night driver, i can hear the sounds of fishing lines endlessly reeling and casting, reeling and casting. maybe our drives involved a bit less violent car crashing and flashing lights? not sure. what i am sure of is that i will remember those drives and that pier and the nights we spent sleeping in the truck bed tent for the rest of my life. also, that i really like the vibes of atari 2600 games.
