A strange little side quest
If Formula Car Racing Game sends you down a curiosity rabbit hole, start here. Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game, decades before modern 3D racers. The timeline takes another interesting turn: Pac-Man went on sale in 1980, and its creator Toru Iwatani famously linked the character's shape to a pizza with a slice missing. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Formula Car Racing Game feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
