Chequered Flag is a fast-paced Formula One racing game released by Konami for arcades in 1988. Viewed from a top-down perspective, players steer their race car along twisting circuits that use rotational sprite scaling to simulate high speeds. Competing against other drivers and a strict time limit, you must reach checkpoints to extend your time and complete the race while managing a pit stop mechanic to keep your car in top condition.
How to Play
Your goal is to beat the clock and outmaneuver rival cars on challenging tracks. You must complete laps within the time limit; crossing checkpoints adds precious seconds to your timer. If your car takes damage or needs maintenance, use the pit lane before continuing.
- Steering: Arrow Keys
- Accelerate / Brake: Z and X
- Start / Insert Coin: Enter / Shift
Tips
- Prioritize survival: Focus on avoiding collisions rather than aggressive overtaking, as crashing costs valuable time and speed.
- Time your pit stops: Keep an eye on your vehicle’s condition. When repairs are necessary, make sure to enter the pit lane smoothly so you don’t waste extra seconds.
