Note: English is not my strong point, so you'll find grammar errors and blah blah blah.

 

For being one of the first Activistion titles, Dragster for the VCS shouldn’t take you too long to finish. For being about a six second game, Dragster will not hold your attention for too long.

 

Well, the game did hold my attention for two hours this morning.

 

I don’t know why. Is trying to shift gears at the right time is really that fun?

 

Trying to get less than five seconds is all that great?

 

Well for me it is.

 

Timing is everything, because you must change the gears at a certain time in order to get to the finish line quickly as possible. For being such a simple game, Dragster holds so much depth in shifting gears.

 

Sure it might look meh by other Atari games, but for a game that timing is everything, this 50 cent game will keep you entertain for many hours to come.

 

Short blog for a simple game with depth.

I remember reading something about shaving a fifth of a second or so off one's time by running the gears and poping the clutch in some odd order, but yeah, for six seconds of play time, it's a game with a surprising depth. It's kinda like an early Wario Ware title or something. ;)
