So, I am on
my daily drive and I am watching the vehicle in front of me. It is making
random lane changes from one side of the three lane road to the other. There is
no warning or indication of this-just a sudden jump from one lane to another,
sometimes more than one lane at a time. Racing up. Moving over. Dropping back.
Cutting across. Racing up. It looks like a different version of Frogger. In
this game though, you don't try to cross the road. The objective here seems to
be getting around as many obstacles as possible in the shortest amount of time.
I am hoping that they have enough tokens or quarters to get to their
destination. They must get energy points for every car they pass, tail gate or
cut off. This seems to be their goal because they have done that to dozens of
vehicles along the way.
It's a 40
MPH posted road, but this vehicle has the extra power it has collected on the
drive to go at least 60 in some areas. I am guessing they are after those
energy stashes before anyone else gets to them. Oh, and those traffic lights?
Merely a suggestion to this person. I watch them run several that have no
cameras watching them. I am assuming that this is okay to do if you are
convinced that no one sees you, because this vehicle is running all of them.
The challenge is to get more of those energy stashes and the red lights must be
worth more points. I am learning the rules of this new game.
Apparently the closer you ride to another
vehicles bumper you get more points as well, because this person is almost
attached to the vehicle in front of them. And if you get another person to beep
their horn in anger-more credits. Then you use your hand showing just one
finger to indicate that you just scored another point.
Now if you
want the game to get even more interesting, you try to get others to join the
game with you. It appears to be working, because I am seeing more vehicles
playing now. They must have put their tokens in the slot that reads more than
one player.
I am
learning more and more about this game on my daily commute. It looks
interesting. Hopefully they will come out with a home version soon because
playing it out on the public roads looks too intense and dangerous to me.
