Car Wars is a video game for the TI-99/4A programmed by Jim Dramis and published by TI in 1981.[1] Car Wars is a clone of the 1979 Sega/Gremlin arcade game Head On.[2]
The player controls a car starting at the bottom of the screen and navigates it through an open grid full of dots. The object is to collect all the dots while avoiding crashing into other cars. The player's car is always moving counter-clockwise. The player, who can never stop the car or change direction, is only able to control the relative speed of the car and move the car across one or two lines of the grid.
