Road Duel

It's fast, it's furious and it's a whole lot of fun... it's Road Duel! Driving your radical blue racer, looking very F1 in style, you must collect the big red 'F's (F for Fuel)... that appear on the road as it scrolls from right to left. Your journey begins quite slowly allowing you to get to grips with the game mechanics.

Black cars will zip towards you but not all of them drive in a straight line. They have a tendency to aim for your blue F1 car, so you must avoid them at all times. If they crash into your car the game is over. When you collect the big red 'F's they give you more fuel. The fuel bar indicator will increase and your car will move slightly forwards so that the black cars take less time to reach you, thus making the challenge more difficult.

After collecting five 'F’s the fuel bar indicator will become full and pressing the button advances you to the next level where the challenge of the game ramps up. Each time you advance a level the game becomes faster, increasing the difficulty of collecting the red 'F's while you try avoiding the oncoming traffic.

You need to have quick reaction skills as you now have less time to get out of the way of those black cars.

When you complete a level the screen colour changes to orange, it looked so cool. Road Duel is a fun game with iconic Atari VCS graphics and sounds. A game that all ages will love to play. Go have a play and see what high score you can achieve!
