First appearing in the Acid-Play offices a while back, Route960 was quickly dismissed as being too simple in appearance and too difficult in goal. However, a recent revisit to Masashikun Hi! revealed that we’ve been no stranger to games of its sort and Route960 got a second chance.
How glad we are that it did, because what this game is, other games have frequently failed to accomplish. Without a care in the world, this game is so incredibly retro it will make your pants flare. The sounds and visuals work together in their blocky unattractive way and squarely fit the style which has been completely encapsulated here.
The game has to driving over a bumpy stretch of road in a land where highways are notoriously difficult to conquer. Pressing the X key will give your giant-headed driver a boost of acceleration and the Z key will apply the breaks. Proper articulation of both speed and caution will have you on the road to success – poor driving skills will have you meekly roll off the screen or exploding in the most spectacular way. The game takes no prisoners and will have you shouting at the screen: I was over that hill! or: Hey, that’s not fair! – but you will be back for more. Such is the appeal of the incredibly retro driving game: Route960.
