Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 This game is my one of my top faves on the 2600. It's all about speed control. Played on real hardware of course! Justin, nosweargamer and chas10e 3

Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 TEN DAYS ?!!? ... the cab of that car must smell like feet wrapped in bacon great job Well...it smells like something . chas10e and Justin 2
Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 I would have made 11 days too if it wasn't for the fact I misjudged my opening between me and another car. I hit the last car and 20 passed me in 2 seconds. What I do is get up to speed just enough to pass the cars at a decent rate of speed. I don't try to go too fast because you need time to move and slow down to avoid a collision with other cars. It might be fast but it doesn't handle very well on normal roads. It's also best to run off the road instead of hitting another car. If your car shifts more than three times then you are going too fast. Justin 1
Justin Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Posted March 18, 2017 Here's my score so far! DAY 4 0567.5 mi Good luck everyone! chas10e and Atari 5200 Guy 2

Justin Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Posted March 22, 2017 Still working on my score, but I've got a long ways to go! Day 4 0579.6 mi Atari 5200 Guy 1
Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 I'll have to do a video to show how I got my score. Maybe that will help others out. Once it's seen how I do it maybe others will be able to beat my score. RickR and Justin 2
RickR Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 First try. This game is really a great choice for a high score challenge. I don't think I've ever really played it before. Very fun. My issue is that I kept pressing the button to brake. I need to get better acquainted with the controls. Justin and Atari 5200 Guy 2

dauber Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 Been playing this on my Flashback Portable...and it doesn't display anything but mileage! Ughhh...better play this on a real console, I guess! Justin 1 Supernatural, perhaps...baloney, perhaps not.
chas10e Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 Day 6, 923.9 mi Was flooring it at the end, crashed on the last car needed to pass to make Day 7. it was prolly one of them Pennsylvania drivers always driving slow in the fast lane Been playing this on my Flashback Portable...and it doesn't display anything but mileage! Ughhh...better play this on a real console, I guess! would be interesting to see a screen-shot .... I would imagine mileage would be enough ... I don't know much about the FBP database of compatible games but would make a good contribution if hadn't already been mentioned. think I got a Day 4 pic but ain't posted it yet .... I need to get a few more games in for sure Ballblaɀer and Justin 2
