Retro365 | Match Racer - Gebelli Software, 1981 - Atari 400/800 (4K) @Retro365 | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
A short play of Bill Hooper's Match Racer, published by Gebelli Software for the Atari 8-bit in 1981.
Match Racer is a simple 1 to 2-player racing game. Navigate numerous racing challenges, including bridges, chicanes, barricades, narrow roads, and boulder fields. As the game progresses, the speed of the vehicle increases. In 2-player mode, vehicles can collide with each other, and players can work cooperatively, or try to push their opponent off of the road. Dirt, water, and oil slicks can cause vehicles to lose control. If a player hits any solid object, their vehicle is destroyed.
In 1-player mode, the player starts with 3 cars. In 2-player mode, each player starts with 5 cars. Points are rewarded for distance traveled, and every 100 points reward an additional car. When all cars are lost, it's game over.
I'll add a link to the corresponding article on my blog, later on.
