What Car Racing Game is

Car Racing Game was released in 1989. It is available on Handheld Electronic LCD only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The player switches between lanes to avoid other cars and obstacles passing through. The player loses if the car hits one of them. Some versions have the speed/level increase gradually over time. A less common variant allows the car to freely move instead of switching lanes and the speed automatically set to maximum number (with the option to slow down using the down button). It is typically featured as a first or second game (on either "A" or B" on letter-based selection, and "1" or "2" on older numbered selection).
