Enduro was ripped off in the arcade?

[Lauren Tyler]

I remember as a child when we went to Florida, the game room at the hotel we stayed at had a racing game that reminded me a lot of Enduro. I never knew the name untill recently, Driving Force. It's similar in that when you crash you slide to the side of the road, and the weather changes to snow, fog, and night. The only difference is that instead of trying to increase your position, you have to earn 3500 points to get a time increase.

I would say vice versa. This game is from 1984, Enduro came 1983.

A lot of those old racers where very similar

Cool, almost exact same game. But I don't remember when Enduro came out (I don't have my copy at the moment to check dates) Are you sure this ripped Enduro off, and not the other way around?

They all ripped off Night Driver!!

Enduro to me seems more like Turbo done by the way of Pole Position.

You hit the nail right on the head there for back in the early to mid 80's virtually every game was a rip off of some other title
