Dodge 'Em, published by Atari in 1980 under the name On the Run in some regions, has the player driving around a circular track collecting points while dodging oncoming traffic, in a formula very close to a vehicular dot-eater. It's one of Atari's own earliest attempts at applying collect-and-dodge logic to a driving setting. Its simple design aged gracefully within the console's early catalog, and it remains a clear example of how the 2600 explored maze-genre variants long before Pac-Man officially arrived on the machine.
