Traffic

About

Traffic is a single player puzzle game where you manage intersecting roads by controlling traffic signals. Your goal is to prevent gridlock by switching lights between red and green at the right moments. The challenge comes from balancing multiple lanes and adapting to changing traffic patterns in real time. It plays out on a top down grid with simple controls, making it accessible but tricky to master. Released in late 1984, this Commodore 64 title ran on several 8 bit systems of the era. While its mechanics are straightforward, the game's difficulty escalates quickly as intersections grow more complex. Minimalist presentation focuses entirely on the core challenge, with no frills or distractions. A relic of early 80s arcade design, it retains a cult following among retro gaming fans.
