Screenshots de Checkered Flag (Euro, USA)
Atari Lynx Version
The Atari Lynx version of Checkered Flag was released in 1991, and was used as a pack-in game with the system in the Australian and European markets at some point in the system's life. It received a perfect 10 score from Robert A. Jung of IGN.
Atari Jaguar Version
The polygonal graphics of the Jaguar version were reminiscent of an earlier Atari arcade hit Hard Drivin' from 1988, however by the time this game was released in 1994, it looked very outdated compared to SEGA's more polished Virtua Racing.
The 2-D graphics of the Lynx version were reminiscent of early Atari 2600 hit Pole Position with several improvements.
Checkered Flag was released in November 1994 for Atari's Christmas campaign, alongside Doom, Club Drive, and Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. It was met with poor reception, possibly due to outdated graphics or its $69.99 MSRP.
