Head On 2
Sega • 1979


Navigate twisting mazes in Sega’s Head On 2, a solo driving game released in 1979. As the white car, you maneuver through a confined space collecting dots while skillfully avoiding a relentless red “Jam Car” that constantly attempts to collide with you. The gameplay revolves around strategic lane changes and anticipating the other vehicle's movements as you progress through increasingly challenging levels. The game demands careful observation and planning; the Jam Car moves clockwise while your car travels counterclockwise, adding complexity when multiple vehicles are present. Mastering speed is crucial – full acceleration limits lane crossing ability, requiring players to strategically decelerate to cross multiple lanes safely and efficiently. Successful completion of each maze unlocks further challenges, offering a unique training ground for navigating crowded environments. Head On 2 represents an early collaboration between Sega and Gremlin, showcasing the era’s distinctive blend of simple mechanics and engaging gameplay.
