Action

Warren Robinett’s first Atari VCS game (October 1978): two cars in a maze fire missiles at each other to 25 hits. Despite the title, it is not a slot-car racer.

Facts

  • Designed under the name Traffic and influenced by Combat (1977).
  • First player to 25 missile hits wins. Nine variations change maze, car speed, and missile path.
