Drive! v1.4 (A2600 Game)

Drive! by Lumi is a 4K, single player paddle game with SaveKey/AtariVox support.

In this game, you are an explorer from the year 2050. Much of the world’s rainforests have been logged, leading to the discovery of a large temple constructed by ancient civilizations eons ago. You are among the first to be allowed to explore it.

The entrance to this temple is across a long stone bridge, which you have chosen to drive across. Inside the temple you find a golden idol on a stone pedestal. Although you are supposed to leave everything you find, your greed gets the better of you and you remove the idol from where it has sat for thousands of years.

Suddenly, the ground begins to shake. Bricks fall from the ceiling. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea! You run outside just as the entrance caves in. As you get in your car and drive away, you realize that the bridge’s supports have dislodged and it’s all collapsing behind you! There’s no time to think – just drive!
