"Slicks Racing": A vertical perspective racing game for Atari 2600

“Slicks Racing,” the brainchild of Czech developers Vojta “nooly” Nedvěd (code, music) and Petr “Raist” Šťastný (graphics) offers a fresh racing experience on the beloved Atari 2600 console.

Players step into the shoes of a retired race car driver who, throughout his career, lived in the shadows of more illustrious competitors. Now, in their grizzled years, a spark ignites – a determination to rise from the depths of despair. Armed with resolve, the protagonist embarks on a mission to revisit his favorite tracks, shatter old records, and even challenge fellow racers to epic duels.

“Slicks Racing” allows for head-to-head competition, enabling two players to engage in thrilling races. The circuit design bears resemblance to the acclaimed “8-bit Slicks”, bringing a blend of familiarity and exciting new challenges.

For avid collectors and enthusiasts, “nooly” and “Raist” bring forth a special treat. They have crafted a limited batch of 50 physical cartridges, each priced at $30 (or 30 EUR). This package includes the cartridge itself, a printed manual and charming small gift. To secure your piece of gaming history, simply reach out to the team at: info@lowfuel.cz.
