Sport Racer owes much to Konami's MSX classic Road Fighter, but does away with all the fancy curves and artificial intelligence on behalf of the other drivers in order to fit within 8 kilobytes, which places it within the same category as some of the very earliest racing games.
The player's task is simply to drive his car on a straight road filled with heavy traffic. Use the space key to accelerate; the car will decelerate once released. In order to keep up with the traffic, players will often find themselves "pumping" the accelerator to keep the speed at a balanced level during takeovers and other sticky situations. Otherwise they risk running into either the car in front or the one behind. Players have five "lives", and losing a life also means losing speed and precious seconds. A red gauge on the side of the screen displays the player's position on the track; a green one counts down the seconds in which they have to complete the race. The game has two levels with five races each. Each race has a different locale and time of day.
