1984 Video Software (UK)

I love Basic games, their naiveness always brings a smile to my face, its like reading a book with a few illustrations leaving the rest to your imagination.
What I like in this is just that, the simplicity.
As a game is completely uninteresting. The cars are randomly generated and sometimes its impossible not to crash. And the key controls sometimes 'slips' out of control.

Keys: N-left; M-right S-gear

Pretty basic game really, just drive up the road whilst avoiding the other cars and score as many points as you can within the time limit....and that's all there is to it really.

This game is currently ranked among the top 100 worst games on the World of Spectrum website. We can probably see why, or hear for that matter although I personally find it a little harsh that it's on such list as I have played many worse games that this and I do find this a bit playable........albeit a tiny bit.

I like these type of games but this doesn't do it for me. Far too random and far too short. It's hard to enjoy this one.

Dreadful game devoid of any nostalgic charm and without any redeeming feature.

Vertical car game, in which you have simply to avoid all the other cars, which are all identical and travel at the same speed.
Nothing else seems to happen or seems to be required. Sparse graphics, and decent sound effects.
It could have been developed into something better, but as it is it's only a sketch.
