Street Racer is a classic racing video game for the Atari 2600, developed and published by Atari, Inc. in 1977. Belonging to the sports genre, specifically the subgenre of automobile racing, it features a top-down perspective where players compete in high-speed races against the clock or a second player. The game offers multiple variations, including straightforward drag races, slalom courses, and dodging oncoming vehicles. Players control their cars with the Atari joystick, navigating through traffic and obstacles, aiming to reach the highest possible speed and score. Vibrant for its time, Street Racer delivers simple yet engaging gameplay that is emblematic of the early era of home console gaming.
