Night Driver is an Atari Arcade Game from 1976. It's the first first-person Driving Game.
You drive a sports car down a twisty road in the middle of the night. The only things visible are your car (a screen overlay) and the reflectors on the sides of the road. You have 100 seconds to score two kinds of points: one for distance traveled, and one for top speed. If you crash, you don't die, you just stop and then get going again. There are three tracks, each with different difficulty.
Not to be confused with Night Striker, another game that features cars driving in the night.
Tropes used in Night Driver include:
- Attract Mode
- Difficulty Levels: Three difficulties can be chosen from.
- Driving Game: An early example of a first person driving game.
- The Golden Age of Video Games
- In Vehicle Invulnerability: Crashing doesn’t harm the player.
- No Plot, No Problem: It’s a simple arcade game about driving at night.
- Scoring Points: There are points for distance traveled and for top speed.
- Timed Mission: Players have 100 seconds.
