Back when I was in elementary school, I remember my teacher Ms. Oglesbee and Ms. Burkhaulter both had these really old Apple computers.. and on these computers were these really old 4 bit dos like games. The most memorable of these games was a game called Driver... a simple yet, very adictive game that was made up of text integers.
The goal of the game was to avoid wrecking your vehicle into the walls of a seamlesly random road. The game has 3 levels to chose from. The first would be wide, and fairly easy to stir through.. the second would be a bit more smaller, making it more harder.. then the third.. would be the most dificult to beat.. a very narrow and hard to pass level (I was the first in the class to actually beat level 3)
Me and my classmates would pile around the computer when class was least bit busy... we'd take turns (or fight over turns) to see who could beat all three tracks first. This would happen just about every day without tire. In my memory, this game was so adictive, it literally drove our teacher crazy trying to get us away from the accursed machene.
Now, it's been 15 years sense I played the old classic... I've searched and looked all over the internet hoping I'd find something related to the old Apple game, but never had much luck... So I decided it'd be easier for me to build the game for myself... And so.. I did.
This game was made mainly for my fun and entertainment.. It was also to test my chances of making a random road generator, and an engine that resembled that of the old Apple Driving sim. The graphics were ""purposely"" ((take note, please)) made to look like it's 8 bit counterpart.. though I havent played the game in over a decade, I pretty much have an idea of what it did look like.. Granted, I kinda enchanced it a bit with some splashy 2 color graphics, and a not so fancy MMF button set for the main level select screen.
But I ghope everyone could forgive me for the 2 color green monocrome look of the game, and just enjoy the adictive gameplay.. there's not much there.. but it's still enough to make me relive my childhood..
**sighs**.. sweet memories.. ;_;
~~Controls~~~~~
left arrow: continually merge left
right arrow: continually merge right
up arrow: move straight
note: You dont have to hold the buttons down to keep the car moving in it's current path.. Just a simple tap of the button works fine
~~Game Flaws~~~~~
Sorry about the dead air, I was planning on adding some basic sound FX to the game a while back, but never got the time to work with dos made sound... A second version of the game is in the thought process and will have advnced graphics and some nice techy sound FX, plus music.
Rght now, the current version of this game is nothing more then an adictive test run of my abilities.
Thanks for your understanding
