[I posted this over at mastodon, but figured it might not hurt here as well.]
When I got my #C64 (used, from one of my mum's co-workers) it came with a #datasette and 4 or 5 60 minute tapes full of games (turbo tape format). With it came a printed list of what was on them.
As I didn't have a clue about any of them, I just played the first game that loaded from tape.
Here it is, the very first game I played on MY C64 [drumroll]:
"Burnin Rubber"
Title and help screen
It sported some fairly basic rules I could deduce without knowing a single word of English:
You scored points for:
- bumping other cars off the track
- jumping and landing on them (the only way to crash the "tanks")
- getting bonus points after each round (track)
The tracks were simple, straight "roads" changing in width and the occasional piece of water you'd have to jump over.
Ingame and level end.
I replayed it a few times, but always had to turn down the volume, as the track playing along is a 100% annoying and maddening.
I'd give it a 2/5 for replayability.
