Dodge 'Em, published by Atari in 1980, puts the player behind the wheel of a car circling a maze-shaped track, collecting points while dodging other cars that move by their own logic. The tension comes from that simple combination: drive in an enclosed space, calculate angles, don't crash. It's a direct forerunner of mechanics the driving and dodging genres would later fuse in a thousand different ways.
