HIGH DRIVE

A small, slightly stubborn retro arcade game.

Originally written when I was 12 years old — in BASIC, on a store display machine.

At the time, I didn’t even own a computer.  

I used to visit a local computer shop, borrowing time on their machines, writing code piece by piece between customers.

Later, after finally getting my own SHARP X1, I rebuilt those fragments into a complete game.

It was eventually published in a Japanese computer magazine.

Decades later, I reconstructed it again — this time to run in a modern browser.

Some parts couldn’t be copied as-is.  

Some had to be rewritten from scratch.  

But the goal stayed the same:

Make it run. As it was.

■ Gameplay  

Drive along a vertically scrolling road.  

Avoid obstacles, oncoming cars, and the edge of the road.  

Survive longer. Score higher.

■ Controls  

← → : Move  

Any key : Start  

Y / N : Retry  

■ Features  

• Originally written in Hu-BASIC (CZ-8CB01)  
• Reconstructed from a childhood project  
• Retro visuals and raw PSG-style sound  
• Runs entirely in your browser  

No tutorials.  

No upgrades.  

Just code, memory, and reflexes.

This is not a remake.  

It’s a reconstruction.
