One interesting bit of trivia people don't know is it's actually supposed to be a 1st person view from behind the wheel, and that thing in the middle of the screen is your supercharger, not the whole car (just like the arcade game). However, Night Driver was buried by better racers like Enduro and Pole Position eventually by the early 80's, so it sort of floats around as another one of those standard cartridges everyone had but rarely mentions.

The basic gist of it is you are driving, first person, down what looks like (if I blur my vision really good) a rural one-lane road in the middle of the night, with wooden posts sticking out of the ground at the edges of the street, with the occasional house or car passing by, the cars probably honk in protest of your speed rampage, and sometimes you even hit a house. I think this will sound weird, but truth be told, I think this game was setup with too tight turns and to run by default, in either difficulty level, just a little too fast to have time to react to anything that appears on screen.
