Traffic

Funny seeing the last couple cars "run" the red light (really supposed to be a transition/yellow light but they don't show that), and surprisingly fun in general. For such a simple, meaningless game, I have no idea why I spent over 10 minutes just seeing how well I could do. Oh, and one of the rare early microcomputer games where I found using keyboard easier than joystick. Interesting how you have to keep track of their blinkers too. I was quite proud of how long I lasted--almost worth a genuine review and playthrough, but in the end, it's just too simple a game and not one of my all-time favorite genres after all. It's ironic, though, because I love thinking about city planning/traffic planning based on how lights should work and when they change, etc. (in real life, that is). But in the end, by the 2nd screen and about 500 Score, I just wanted to move on. Interesting, well-done game nonetheless.
