'Computer Speedway' is a game written by Chris Ulmer and published by COMPUTE! Publications, Inc. for the Commodore 64. It was featured in COMPUTE!'s Gazette, a magazine that often included type-in programs for users to input and run on their computers. The game is a racing simulation that allows players to compete in a speedway environment. It was designed to be programmed by users themselves, as it was distributed as a type-in listing in the magazine. The game leverages the Commodore 64's capabilities to create a racing experience, though it is relatively simple by modern standards. It is a lesser-known title compared to other commercial games of the era, and its primary significance lies in its distribution method as a type-in program rather than as a standalone commercial release.
