Easter Eggs

• If you beat Strong Bad's high score of 50,000 points, 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. You can also access this by right-clicking and pressing "Play" when you lose on the Flash File.

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

Remarks

• It's not possible to get a score one point higher than another score, like Strong Bad says he did, considering that all point values are multiples of 100.
• When the truck appear look on which side it moves first.Move your mouse over to that side to avoid it.(When left,Go left. When right, go right

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 drunk drivers swerve left, then right, meaning if you stay in the left lane, you'll never die.
• Right-click and unselect play for unlimited lives. When you run out of lives, your lives will show as "-" and you can keep playing. Select "play" again to get the "game over" screen.
• If you get over 100,000 points, the score will appear to reset to 10,000. This is due to the game only displaying the first five digits in the score; the counter still has the actual score stored.
  • When you access the high-score Easter egg, if your score is over 100,000, Strong Bad's score will appear to be the same as yours due to this glitch.
• If you crash into another car, and a drunk driver is there, the drunk driver will crash even though you didn't hit it.

Inside References

• 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 50,000 points, and challenges you to beat it.

Real-World References

• The game itself is based on the Atari 2600 game "Night Driver," which in turn was based on the 1976 arcade game of the same name.
