Who else grew up playing Night Driver on the Atari 2600?
- pronlover723 4y agoI played it at the arcade (pre 2600) https://www.google.com/search?q=night+driver+arcade&oq=night+driver+arcade https://www.google.com/search?q=night+driver+arcade&oq=night...
- Animats 4y agoNight Driver (1976) was the first video game with a first person 3D mode.[1] It's about as minimal a 3D system as you can get. The picture of the car is painted on, not on screen. [1] https://youtu.be/n5I2oh_ecvk?t=7 https://youtu.be/n5I2oh_ecvk?t=7
- axus 4y agoFirst thing I thought of when I saw the title. Was using the paddle control less or more frustrating than the typical game?
- tsuujin 4y agoThe paddle was awful but it was also novel so young me loved it.
- ASalazarMX 4y agoI loved using the paddle. Atari controls were not very durable, and the paddle's potentiometer degraded into a simple switch, which Night Driver handled perfectly too.
- ASalazarMX 4y agoI was pleasantly surprised the article actually had something resembling Night Driver. Such a simple concept, but it was a game that stimulated your imagination. That and star Riders were brilliant for their time.
