Title: Night Driver
Platform: Atari 2600
Region: PAL
Condition: Good, cartridge only
Night Driver is an arcade game developed by Atari Inc for release in the United States in October, 1976. It was inspired by the earlier German coin-op Nürburgring 1. Along with Micronetics' Night Racer and Midway's 280 ZZZAP, Night Driver is one of the earliest first-person racing video games, and is commonly believed to be one of the first published games to display real-time first-person graphics.
After the success of the arcade, Rob Fulop ported the game to the Atari 2600. It uses the paddles to control the vehicle. The player pushes the fire button to accelerate the car forward, and uses the paddle to steer the vehicle; it is not possible to shift gears in this version. The game offers eight different variations. Some are timed, and the player tries to score as much as they can in 90 seconds, and others are not timed. This version includes features not present in the coin-operated version, such as additional vehicles the player must avoid as well as showing houses and trees along the sides of the road.
