Speed Shift

Description

The player moves the car from side to side by steering. Inside, what appears to be the road is actually a drum that's illuminated by a light bulb inside it. The drum is black with clear spaces that when playing, rotate faster or slower depending on the how hard the player steps on the accelerator to simulating the car moving. The game has a staging tree to let the player know when to start and stop. It also comes with a clutch that has to be used for shifting or else a light will light up indicating that the car engine blew up.
