Fun racer from the early arcade days
The Good
I had a lot of fun playing 280 Zzzap! Controls were simple and felt responsive. Pretty decent graphics for 1976. Crashing is entertaining - the screen flashed "BAM," "ZORK," and "BLAM" (among others). You get an extended play if you reach a high-enough score before time runs out.
The Bad
There isn't much to it besides accelerating, low-to-high shifting, turning around curves, and crashing.
The Bottom Line
This is a simple, fun racing game that anyone can play in short bursts.
