Pitstop is a 1983 racing video game developed and published by Epyx for the Atari 8-bit family, ColecoVision, Coleco Adam, and Commodore 64. A sequel, Pitstop II, was released in 1984.
This game already possessed ground-breaking features for 1983. On the one hand it was the milage and what carried even more weight: the tyre wear. The more often the car offends somewhere, the stronger the tyres are strained - and each of the four tyres individually. The state of the tyres is shown by colour markings on the contact surface. New tyres have first the colour dark blue and with rising abrasion it changes: light blue - green - red. When the tyre is red, a few further contacts are enough to lead to the premature out. The car explodes.
Damaged tyres can be changed in the box, the wit is: you have to do it yourself. The player steers a mechanician that carries the tyres to and fro and also changes them. Everything goes anything but fast, however, it is an enriching feature. The tyre sneaker is long ago a classic! Not seldem are races decided in the box.
Also the refuelling needs to be done in the box. Hereby you need to look out for the tank indicator, as overfilling the tank leads to an empty tank and you need to start again.
