Byte Driver

Byte Driver combines a driving game with a bottom-up shooter. You steer along a sharply twisting road, where enemy vehicles try to stop you from reaching your goal. Your car runs on energy, which you obtain by hacking nearby vehicles, along with weapons. If your energy runs out, you die.

Driving and combat

The faster you drive, the higher your score, and the farther you travel, the more dangerous the road becomes. Byte Driver is designed to push your reflexes to the limit as you drive, hack enemy vehicles and fight to survive.

No Stress Mode

No Stress Mode lets you take a relaxing drive through the countryside, see the sights and blow up cars in a stress-free environment.

Arcade history

In 1978, a machine called Byte Driver began appearing in arcades around the world. Its distinctive gameplay and vector graphics projected over a raster display helped make it a hit. In 1979, its coin boxes took in more quarters than all the other machines of that year combined. The combination display was prone to failure and difficult for arcade operators to maintain; by 1981, the last known Byte Driver machine had gone offline, and the craze was largely forgotten.
