Videocart-9: Drag Strip

released on Jul 01, 1977

This drag racing simulator makes use of the Channel F's special controllers. While twisting the joystick's head to the left or right controls the engine throttle, the stick movement itself is used to shift gears in a realistic H-pattern. Depending on the chosen skill level, the car available is a family sedan, a modified sedan, a funny car, or a real dragster, although they all look the same on screen. One player can try to beat the predefined par time of 7.7 seconds, or compete against a friend to see who reaches the finish line first. The game manual mentions that a player only wins the game when he brings his victory counter to 99. This preprogrammed cartridge plugs into the console of the Fairchild Video Entertainment System for more TV fun. Know when to shift and you'll go the distance with these 2 racy games. But careful... Redline your engine, an dyou wind up shiftless! (You've blown it!)

Isso é certamente um jogo de drag racing para o Fairchild.

A very basic timing game that barely simulates a drag race.

Great title. But unfortunately, this game is not about drag queens stripping, it is instead a drag race sim. You literally just hold a button to go in a straight line and let go so you don't blow out the engine. It has some terrible CAR SFX that you would imagine of the era that destroys your ears as the cars rev up at the beginning, but that is about the only thing in this game worth mentioning. (Aside from the funny title).
