Night Driver walked very very slowly so Out Run could run.

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.

A simulation of driving with a near-lethal dose of amphetamines in your system

Damn this game is absolutely crazy. Like I have no idea what is going on I just keep crashing into dots and it creates screeching noises. Such a peculiar experience but its really not fun.


I'll still like to play this over MW3

Just too boring and repetitive.

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)

Um ótimo jogo se vc quer ter uma crise epiléptica com as luzes causados pela péssima jogabilidade.

Nota: 1/10 (☆) - Injogável

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"

As challenging as this wants to be, this today plays a lo-fi chilly version of the ending of Dirty Pair. Very vibe-inducing, I really dig it / A pesar de lo desafiante que trata de ser, esto ahora se juega como una versión lo-fi de la outro de Dirty Pair. Muy atmosférico, me encanta.

Are you into turning out the lights and spacing out while playing a super minimal game?
Then here go!
One of my favorite games, but admittedly the games that came after it are better in pretty much every way. If you like Arcade style racers (Outrun, Pole Position) then this is worth checking out.

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.

The 3D representation is extremely simple and rudimentary, yet it still manages to be fun and surprised me in a positive way. Of course, there isn’t much to do and there’s no variation in gameplay.

I cant be too mean to this game given its ambition and age and for the most part its a fun little distraction but it really feels like you're handling an out of control shopping trolley that throws a strobe fit at you if you crash.

been playing for 37 hours when the fuck does ryan gosling show up

Played this when I was like 4 years old and was somehow insanely cracked at it. Having come back to it since I seem to have lost my touch, but it's still simple fun for a bit! For just how old this game is it holds up surprisingly well.

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.
