Grand Prix is a racing video game designed and programmed by David Crane for the Atari 2600 and published by Activision in 1982. The player races along a horizontally scrolling track, viewed from a top down perspective, while avoiding other cars. The goal is to get the fastest possible time. There are four tracks which are completely straight and only differ in length and the number of narrow bridges.

Controls

This is a PC game: it uses the keyboard the way it did under MS-DOS, and the mouse where the game supports it. Click the game screen first so it gets your key presses.

Many DOS games start with a menu or ask a question first — read the screen and answer with the keyboard. Arrow keys, Enter, Space, Ctrl and Alt are the usual game keys.

GamePro named the five whole-number faces; a thumbs-up adds half a point to the same caption. GamePro’s original rating-face design, adapted from Ryan Quintal’s 2018 vector recreation; cleanup for YouConsoles.
