Enduro is a racing video game designed by Larry Miller for the Atari 2600 and published by Activision in 1983. The object of the game is to complete an endurance race, passing a certain number of cars each day to continue the next day. The visuals change from day to night, and there is occasional inclement weather.
Miller previously wrote games for Apple computers and the Atari 2600, such as Spider Fighter for Activision. Influenced by his own experience of driving through California, Miller made the game in about three months with 100-hour weeks.
Enduro was released for the Atari 2600 in May 1983 and later ported to the ZX Spectrum. It became the top-selling console game of the month by June 1983 and received positive reviews from publications like The Video Game Update and Games, with both contemporary and retrospective reviews referring to it as the best racing game on the Atari 2600.
