I wrote a BASIC game similar to "A Pair of Zippy Road Runners" on at least one 8 bit computer. I don't remember which one but it was probably a Timex-Sinclair computer. It started with a wide road that would get more narrow as the game progressed. The road being drawn on the bottom would move randomly left or right on every frame.
I think that my best 8-bit BASIC game was similar to Snake. I filled the screen with blocks as barriers and other characters as food to be gobbled up. The goal is to get all the goodies without running into the blocks or yourself. I know that I wrote this in the late 1970s on a friend's OSI-C1P, but I wrote something similar on my high school's TRS-80.
