Head On

About

You and a rival driver race through a grid of roads collecting dots while dodging each other's paths. The game ends if you crash into the other car or their trail. Score points by gobbling dots and outlasting your opponent. It plays like a stripped-down, high-stakes chase with simple controls and fast-paced action. Up to two players can compete locally or take turns in solo mode. Released in 1979, Head On predates Pac-Man by a year and shares similar maze-based mechanics. It's one of the earliest arcade games to include competitive multiplayer and has a cult following among retro gaming communities. Its minimalist design and frantic collision risk make it a relic of early digital racing.
