"Space Race" was the first arcade racing video game, as well as the first game with a goal of crossing the screen while avoiding obstacles, though a few racing games had been released in 1972 for the Magnavox Odyssey home video game console. Later games in that genre are the arcade game "Frogger" and the Atari 2600 "Freeway", both from 1981. A similarly-titled, expanded version of "Space Race" was published by ANALOG Software in 1981 for the Atari 8-bit family of computers as "Race in Space".
