Indy 500, one of the Atari 2600's launch titles, is a series of 14 Top Down View, Player Versus Player or Player Versus the Clock, racing or driving games, based on Atari's earlier arcade games Sprint 2 and Crash 'N Score. Game variations include:

- Single-player racing against the clock on the same tracks.
- "Crash n' Score", in which players compete to crash into dots that appear randomly.
- One-player Crash n' Score against the clock.
- Tag, the player who is "it" chases the other one around.
- Ice racing, one or two players on an ice track.
Tropes used in Indy 500 include:
- Color-Coded Multiplayer
- Driving Game
- The Golden Age of Video Games

- No Plot, No Problem
- Player Versus Player
- Scoring Points: Crash n' Score and Tag.
