Crash (set 1)
Exidy • 1979


Navigate twisting mazes in Crash, an early maze racing game released by Exidy in 1979. As the lone player, you pilot a car through a series of increasingly complex pathways, collecting scattered dots while simultaneously avoiding a pursuing “Jam Car” that relentlessly tries to ram your vehicle. Successfully clearing each maze unlocks the next challenge, providing practice for navigating crowded routes. The gameplay revolves around precise maneuvering and strategic lane changes; accelerating speeds restrict you to single-lane shifts, while slowing down allows for crossing multiple lanes at once. Careful observation of the Jam Car's movements is essential as it circles the maze in a clockwise direction – a vital detail when multiple cars are present. Mastering Crash requires anticipating your next move well in advance and planning routes to collect dots efficiently. Successfully dodging the pursuing car and gathering points rewards players with access to even more intricate mazes.
