Slot Racers

Slot Racers is a maze game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for the Atari Video Computer System (Atari VCS). The game involves the players controlling cars equipped with missiles with the goal of firing their missiles at their opponents for points. Each player earns one point for each time they hit their opponent with a missile. The first player to earn 25 points wins. Slot Racers was designed by Warren Robinett and was the first game he designed for Atari. The game was developed under the name Traffic and was influenced by Atari's earlier game Combat (1977). He initially wanted to include roving police cars in the maze but was unable to add this to the game at the time.
