The meaning of the game is to drive the entire track in a given time. In the center of the track, the car accelerates at the edges slowing down. Rotate left and right respectively. On the winding sections of the route informs the navigator in the form of arrows. For all there are three rounds of the first, you need to get to 500 conventional km in the second and third to 999. In this case, you can make 4 accidents for each round. If you did not meet in the allotted time, the game ends. The best result is saved and shown at each start. The game develops a reaction and probably concentration :)

Japanese experts are interesting to approach the problem of creating an interface (picture is attached). In the clock mode (and this is also the clock), a screensaver such as a screensaver with traveling cars is displayed on the screen in a constant mode.

The best thing with such a clock was, for example, to go to a children's camp. It was not necessary to think about where to charge the gadget to play on the train or on a quiet hour, as was the case with mobile phones (which were less common before). Yes, and still did not have to worry about the safety because they were always on hand.



Casio also produced dozens of different games on the same platform along with races of different types ( cars , spaceships , ski slalom , turtles racing (!) ) Were also poker , lottery , apple fishing , golf , football , basketball , sea fight the full list here those with the prefix Watch. And all these were the predecessors of the current PSP, Nintendo DS.
