Overview
Car Action is a 1983 arcade game that functions as a bootleg clone of Data East's classic 1982 vehicular combat game, Bump 'n' Jump (originally titled Burnin' Rubber in Japan).
The game features a top-down, vertically scrolling perspective. Because it is a direct copy, the core mechanics are identical to the official arcade machine:
• Bumping: You drive a red vehicle through heavy traffic and earn points by slamming enemy vehicles into the sides of the track to crash them.
• Jumping: When your car reaches a high enough speed (over 100 mph), you can press the jump button to leap high into the air. This allows you to jump over massive obstacles like broken roads and bodies of water, or to land directly on top of enemy cars to smash them.
