Head On

Released by Sega (then Sega-Gremlin) in April 1979, *Head On* is a landmark title that pioneered the "dot-eater" genre, where players accumulate points by collecting dots. Unlike games centered on defeating enemies, this title introduced a fresh, innovative system for its time: clearing all dots from the screen while avoiding collisions with enemy cars. Players must skillfully navigate their vehicle—which cannot stop or reverse—using a four-way joystick and an acceleration button to clear each stage. Earning bonus points for collecting all the dots, the game remains a staple in arcade history as a tense, high-stakes racing action experience where losing all of your vehicles results in a game over.
