Auto Racing vs Gran Trak 10
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.
Auto Racing puts you behind the wheel of one of five distinct cars, each with its own strengths, as you tackle five large courses. In single‑player mode you race against the clock to complete five laps as fast as possible. In two‑player split‑screen mode you can challenge a friend, earning points by causing crashes or by pulling far enough ahead to reach the screen edge. The game captures the fast‑paced, pick‑up‑and‑play feel of early arcade racers.
Gran Trak 10 is a pioneering single‑player racing arcade title released by Atari in March 1974. Players steer a car around a simple track, racing against the clock to rack up points. The cabinet featured a steering wheel, a four‑position gear shifter, and accelerator and brake pedals—firsts for arcade hardware—while primitive diode‑based ROM stored the car, score and timer sprites.
