Collision Course (Compute's Gazette)
This fast-paced game drops you into the seat of a race car for a nerve-wracking driving experience. And your computer is not much help.
Keep your mind and eyes on the road and watch your enemy carefully...you're driving under extremely hazardous road conditions in "Collision Course". Your goal in this game is to score points by driving over dots on the road, thus removing them. Unfortunately, the computer's driver has orders to stop you, and it knows only one way to do that...by crashing into you.
The article for this game can be found on page 32 of Compute's Gazette Issue 30 (February 1987)
Why TAS This Game?
The continuation of TASing games from my all-time favorite magazine, Compute's Gazette. This makes my 74th TAS from this series.
I never played this game in my youth. Why? I never owned this issue. It was missed, because of random visits to the "Reid-A-Book" magainze store. I'm really sad that I missed this in my youth. It is a really good game, and one of the top games of this series.
Game Difficulty and Ending
As this games moves from level to level, the game gets faster and faster. This game makes it all the way to Level 9...where a mysterious error occurs. This completely ends the game, as I have found a another limitation of these Compute's Gazette games. Thus far, this has only occurred with games that are based in B.A.S.I.C. In this case, I'm shocked that it seemed to be from a low and unexpected value.
Effort In TASing (Not BOTed)
I was really surprised at TASing this game. This took a bit of thinking, where I had to plan out routes very carefully..otherwise, I would have had to let off the gas. Obviously, I didn't want that to happen...so I had to figure ways to keep it moving fast.
