From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

   Street Racer is a racing video game developed for the Atari Video Computer System, later known as the Atari 2600. It was programmed by Larry Kaplan and released by Atari, Inc. in September 1977 as one of the nine Atari VCS launch titles. The game was also published by Sears for their Tele-Games product line as Speedway II.
   Street Racer was one of the two launch titles programmed by Kaplan; Air-Sea Battle was the other. Street Racer offered 27 game variations, grouped into the following sub-games:

  • 1-6 Street Racer: This is the basic race car game. Points are earned by passing other cars.
  • 7-12 Slalom: Each player controls a skier and needs to slalom through the course to earn points.
  • 13-16 Dodgem: Each player controls a race car and needs to avoid the oncoming obstacles. One point is earned for successfully completing the race course.
  • 17-20 Jet Shooter: Each player controls a jet in this game. Points are earned for shooting down the various oncoming planes.
  • 21-24 Number Cruncher: Each player controls a motorcycle in this game variation. Various numbers will appear in the race track, and points are earned by running over the numbers.
  • 25-27 Scoop Ball: Each player controls a race car with a scoop on the front. The goal is to scoop up the balls that appear in the raceway and then place them in a computer controlled car.
   Each of the sub-games has roughly the same gameplay: the player controls a vehicle that must avoid or collect certain objects as they scroll down the screen. Between one and four players can compete simultaneously by using the paddle controllers, which allow the vehicle to move left and right along the bottom of the screen. If a one-player game is selected, the player competes with a static computer opponent that allows objects to collide with it or pass by. Each game has a two minute and sixteen second time limit, and players goal is to earn as many points as possible by the end of this time.
