Summary
A game accessible only by clicking the "O" in Strong Bad's Message Bored.
In this game, you must drive through oncoming traffic... at night! Move your car with the mouse.
Vehicles and Point Values
- Station Wagon: A green vehicle that likes to hug the left or right side of the road. 100 points
- Convertable: A red vehicle that likes to barrel down the center of the road. 500 points
- Ambulance: A white vehicle with blue and red lights that likes to drive near the right side of the road (though not as far over as the station wagon). 500 points
- Semi (Drunk Driver): A black semi that either swerves left, then right or right, then left. Be very careful when dealing with this driver! 1000 points.
Glitches
- You still earn points for any vehicle that passes your wrecked vehicle.
- You can crash 2-3 times in rapid succession yet only lose one life (in other words, crashing, then immediately crashing again).
- The game sometimes loads data where the station wagons primarily drive on the right side of the road, and semis swerve left, then right, meaning if you stay in the left lane, you'll never die.
Easter Eggs
- If you beat Strong Bad's high score, you'll get a short cutscene where Strong Bad shows you that he's now gotten a new high score exactly one point higher than yours.
(Transcript) Strong Bad: Oh, you beat my high score, huh? Well, I just finished the game. Check it out! {Shows you the screen, his score is one point higher than yours.} Oh, tough luck. I guess it's back to the drawing board for you! Or, the, uh, Night Driving board, or uh.... Get out of my basement!
Fun Facts
- The whole game itself is based off the Atari 2600 game "Night Driver".
- The source of the Easter egg is the Strong Bad's Room Main Page, where he brags that he's got the high score of 50000 points, and challenges you to beat it.
