This is our Bonus game for November.  It was chosen as one of Cynicaster's favorites and it was his choice due to winning our GOTM Competition in October.  Way to to go buddy!  We like to give our winners a little something extra, and this was his reward.  To be in the running to pick next month's bonus game, check out our current GOTM - Tiger Heli!  At the end of the month, this game will be reverted to a standard game rather than be completely removed.  So feel free to post a score any time!

There are apparently NO marquee images on the internet for this game.  If you come across one, feel free to let me know and I'll update the first post with it.  The current one I have is a Photoshop I just made of the Title Screen.  Works good enough I guess, but a legit marquee would be better!

Fast Lane is a 1987 arcade game created by Konami. The game is a clone of Sega's Head On from 1979 with improved graphics and some additional features. The player controls a red sports car that attempts to avoid crashing head on with a blue truck.^[1]

Having never played this, I'm going to assume that's an impressive score.

Exactly 😆

Here was my first run through...interesting game that I had never heard of before.  46,280

 

[hansolo77]

That's why I like these extra bonus games.  There are so many games out there, and I guarantee nobody's played them all (at least if you're not on the dev team).  Having bonus games gives people a chance to showcase a game they like that might not be hugely popular.  Gives it a chance to shine.

Giddy up.

Funny game !  After 5 or 6 games, i'm used to the rotation of the cars.  

Cynicaster, where did you play this game first ? On arcade ?  

 

I made 56440

I never saw this game on a real arcade cabinet; in fact, I think it's a pretty rare game.  I think I discovered it from reading an article about "hidden gems" in MAME. 

 

 

[hansolo77]

It seems pretty popular as a bonus game.  And popular enough to have an Atari "port".  I'm going to have to play this some day soon.

[ExedExes]

I almost forgot about the bonus game! I like this game A LOT and I've been playing it forever. Konami's take on Dodge 'Em! Of course this isn't the GOTM.

ExedExes - 281,340

I'd say you like it.  Sheesh!  No way I'm that good.  Thanks for the score Exed!

Vrrooommmmmmm VRoooommmmm....shit still in last place   126,260

[hansolo77]

Yeah, but you tripled your previous score.  That's gotta make you happy!

[hansolo77]

Wow this game is hella fun!  I wish I participated when the scores were coming in.  Hard to believe we're still on the first page of entries, and only 3 top submissions so far.  This game is awesome!  I'm going to play it a lot more now that I'm familiar with it.  Took me a while to wrap my head around all the stuff happening, but it's great now.  A little shucked for the lower score, but hey.. can't win them all!

Score: 112,060
Initials: HAN
Stage: 6

ps: When the stage/life starts, doesn't sound like the music starts out by saying "YEAH BOOOYEEEEE!!!!"... it's either that or "YEAH RIGHT" lol

[Luigimaker]

Thats weird, Im sure I remember already posting this

[hansolo77]

I'm confused... which score do you want me to take?  The only one with your initials is 63,280.  But there is a score higher with AAA as the initials.  The confusing thing is that the AAA score is different than the 1P score of 63,280.  So either the AAA is your best run and a flubbed initial entry, or 63.280 is your official entry..  It's a difference of a few hundred points, I just wanted to make sure I enter in the one you're wanting.

[Luigimaker]

Honestly its an old screen shot and I cant remember but heres a newer one instead

  Now you're just showing off!
