in the past


These games that came out in the last hours of the 2600's life are fascinating because in some ways they pushed the system to its limits while still being utterly archaic relative to their contemporaries. It plays ok, but you would have to be crazy to spend more than 15 minutes on this considering the other options available in 1990.

This was actually really fun somehow. the race is long but varied with a host of different obstacles, each one with a unique strategy of avoiding it. the midair rotating of your truck feels like the prototype of a lot of driving flash games i played as a kid on coolmathgames and the app store. the bouncing physics are fun, I can see em being used in some clever ways by someone who's mastered the game.

i cant tell if theres a gameplay difference between tires vs. treads, and the different vehicle types, or if its just for aesthetic (can you even say that for an atari game? especially when the tires are constantly flickering because of console limitations)
