Checkered Flag (2022)

Originally a technical showcase for the powerful Atari Lynx handheld in 1991, Checkered Flag stands as a landmark achievement in portable gaming. It successfully translated the speed and thrill of 3D, formula-style open-wheel racing to the small screen, a feat that pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible on the go. Players could test their skills across 18 unique and challenging tracks, engaging in everything from quick practice laps to full-blown tournament seasons, cementing its status as one of the most ambitious and content-rich racers of its era. This remastered 2022 release preserves the classic gameplay while seamlessly integrating essential modern conveniences. The experience is enhanced with quality-of-life features that bridge the gap between retro authenticity and contemporary standards, including the ability to save and load progress at any point, full support for modern game controllers with remappable controls, and various image scaling options. With deep customization that allows you to alter the car's color, the number of opponents, and the length of the race, this version ensures that a new generation of players can experience one of Atari's finest racing titles at its most accessible and enjoyable.
