Car polo

2012-05-19

Car Polo is an excellent bar game. In one player mode, you control the red car and the other three are controlled by the computer. The object is to push the yellow ball in to the red goal. The purple car is on your team whereas blue and cyan cars are in the opposing team.

In two player mode, each player controls one car and the other two cars are computer controlled. The arcade version allowed up to four players, two in each team. This is the hardware from 1977 (image stolen from www.arcade-history.com):

The controls are lovely and this game goes well with cheap Miller beer, cigarettes and good friends. I have the ROM image from the machine, but if anyone still have the original hardware: Yes, I’d like to come to dinner!
