Tetris Bricks Car Racing Tetris meets car racing for some old school handheld game fun.

Remember the handheld electronic games of the 80's? Awfully simple games with usually pretty crappy LCD screens. Horribly addicting, nonetheless.

Nowadays you can get them in 1000-games-in-1 versions that include all sorts of games playable on the same device. Valentin Galea was inspired by one of these devices and made this racing game in the style of these old games, played on a low-res dot matrix screen a'la Tetris.

Use the arrow keys to try to avoid cars and other obstacles. The car goes faster and faster but you can slow it down by ramming into to the walls. As you pass the other cars, your score goes up and at the end of the game you can post your score to a public high score list.

Behind the scenes, everything happens by manipulating the background colors of cells in a big table. Nice and simple.

Nice remake. It makes me a little bit nostalgic.
