What Night Driver is

Night Driver is an arcade game developed by Atari and released in 1976. It is available on Atari 2600, Arcade and Commodore C64/128/MAX.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The player controls a car which must be driven along a road at nighttime without crashing into the sides of the road as indicated by road side reflectors. The game is controlled with a single pedal for gas, a wheel for steering and a four-selection lever for gear shifting. The coin operated game had a choice of three difficulties, novice, pro, and expert, from which the player could choose at game start. The turns were sharper and more frequent on the more difficult tracks. As play progresses, the road gets narrower and more winding.
