Omega Race?

YES!

Omega is part of the Greek alphabet, the playfield in Omega Race is a simple oval/rectangle, which always reminded me of NASCAR tracks, and the 2600 needed a very unnecessary "booster grip", which makes the game more difficult to find and play.

Correct!  I like the variations with the numbers...but those graphics are atrocious. 

Hey, don't make fun of my lacking creativity 😁.  I am trying as best I can.  Haiku is a new skill. 

Just messing with ya. Here’s mine. 
Platform: O2

Speedway!/Spin-Out!/Crypto-Logic!  (very important to include exclamation points in O2 games).

"Kazoos" is hilarious.  Why did they have such trouble drawing cars on those games?  Night Driver is another one with odd graphics.  I always thought that cross was the front end of a dragster-type-car.  But someone else said it was a hood ornament!

Could a cloak help you?

This sounds like a "Harry Potter" homebrew for 2600 😂

 

Weirdly it could kinda fit if you said you were controlling a wand...it almost looks like it...
