This is actually a decent racing game

Continua totalmente jogável hoje em dia. Achei impressionante como criaram a ilusão de alvorada no horizonte em um hardware tão limitado naquela época. Realmente direção de arte faz toda a diferença, desde sempre

Doesn't hold a candle visually to Pole Position, but I guess that's not a fair comparison. Similar gameplay otherwise.

Well, it's 1983 and you want a racing game to play at home with; this is one of the best you're going to get. It's no shock to anyone that going from arcade to a home system, graphics and certain QOL aspects are not going to be remotely comparable. Enduro isn't the closest graphically that you're going to find, Pole Position takes that award, but it is incredibly advanced for ways it plays with the gameplay over graphics. I'll be real, for a game on the Atari 2600, the amount of boundaries this game is able to push to include things like snowy mountaintop scenery, and fog where you're only able to see the car backlights, is kind of breathtaking. The ability it's able to convey perspective is pretty impressive too, and makes racing much more enjoyable being able to see yourself quickly approaching your opponent, learning how to balance timing and movement. Simple stuff now that is just genuinely mind-blowing it's on a home system made in 1977. Game controls and sounds really good too, with a plentiful of awesome, crisp Atari sound effects. Doesn't beat Pole Position though, which came out earlier on top of that, too - so I can't truly advise Enduro as the best Atari 2600 racing game out there, but it's still pretty damn good.

4/5

This game is still enjoyable today, and it was the mold that created many games that came after it.
