Enduro 1983 Activision
8Enduro is a racing video game designed by Larry Miller for the Atari 2600 and published by Activision in 1983. Miller previously wrote Spider Fighter for Activision. The object of the game is to complete an endurance race, passing a certain number of cars each day to continue the next day.
Enduro consists of maneuvering a race car in the National Enduro, a long-distance endurance race. The object of the race is to pass a certain number of cars each day. Doing so will allow the player to continue racing for the next day. The driver must avoid other racers and pass 200 cars on the first day, and 300 cars with each following day.
As the time in the game passes, visibility changes as well. When it is night in the game the player can only see the oncoming cars' taillights. As the days progress, cars will become more difficult to avoid as well. Weather and time of day are factors in how to play. During the day the player may drive through an icy patch on the road which would limit control of the vehicle, or a patch of fog may reduce visibility.
In 1983, Activision ran the "Enduro Race-For-Riches Sweepstakes". The grand prize was a Datsun 280ZX pace car and a trip for two to Caesars Palace Grand Prix Weekend. The second prize was a Datsun 200SX Hatchback SL, the third prize was a trip for two to Caesars Palace Grand Prix Weekend, the fourth prize was one of 50 radio controlled cars, the fifth prize was one of 500 Activision Grand Prix video game cartridges, and the sixth prize was one of 2,000 Datsun Racing posters.
If a player succeeded to race five days or more, an on-screen racing trophy would pop-up on the screen. If the player sent a photograph of this achievement to Activision, they would receive a patch declaring them an "Activision Roadbuster".
Enduro was well received, gaining the award for "1984 Best Sports Videogame" at the 5th annual Arkie Awards where judges praised it for "featur[ing] some of the best graphics presented by a 2600 and boast[ing] an intriguing concept".:42 The online video game database Allgame referred to Enduro as "the best driving game available for the Atari 2600."
In 1985 Activision released The Great American Cross-Country Road Race, a home computer game that follows the design of Enduro, but with enhanced visuals, audio, and some additional gameplay elements. Enduro was later released as part of Activision's Atari 2600 Action Pack 2 in 1995 and as part of the Activision Anthology collection in 2002.
Enduro é um jogo de Videogame produzido pela Activision em 1983 para o console Atari 2600. Foi um dos últimos sucessos do Atari antes da crise na indústria eletrônica entre 1983 e 1984.
O jogador controla um carro, algo semelhante a um Fórmula 1 visto de trás, e deve manobrar um carro de corrida no National Enduro, uma corrida de resistência de longa distância, cujo percurso era aleatório. O objetivo da corrida é passar uma certa quantidade de carros a cada dia, para permitir ao jogador continuar correndo no dia seguinte. O jogador deve se desviar de outros pilotos, e passar 200 carros no primeiro dia, e 300 carros nos dias posteriores.
Conforme o tempo passada no jogo, a visibilidade também mudava. Quando era noite no jogo o jogador só conseguia ver as luzes da traseira dos carros. Conforme os dias passam, os carros se tornam mais difíceis de ultrapassar. O clima e o tempo do dia influenciam a jogabilidade. O clima pode criar caminhos de gelo que limitam o controle do veículo, ou um pedaço de neblina que reduz a visibilidade.
Enduro foi lançado em 1 de fevereiro de 1983 para Atari 2600. Na época de seu lançamento, se um jogador conseguisse correr por cinco dias ou mais, um troféu de corrida aparecia na tela. Se o jogador enviasse a fotografia do troféu para a Activision, eles receberiam um patch declarando eles como um "Activision Roadbuster".
O banco de dados online de videogame Allgame se refere ao Enduro como "o melhor jogo de corrida disponível para Atari 2600."
