Rally Racer

A top-down rally on a walled course. Each player's window scrolls with the car. Leave the start line, drive down to the yellow half-lap line at the bottom of the course, and come back over the checkered start and finish line. Turn left or right and shift up and down through six gears; hitting a wall stops the car dead. Two players race at once on a split screen, a blue car and a white car that never collide, and the first home wins. One player races the clock. The fastest time on each track is kept until power-off. There are four built-in tracks, including Scott Elder's original, and a track editor for building a custom course.

Controls: Use the joysticks. Push left or right to turn, up to shift up and down to shift down; gear 0 brakes. On the title, up and down choose, left and right change the track, and a button starts. In the editor, the stick moves, the left button toggles road or wall, and the right button finishes.
