About Head On (2 players)

Collecting dots within a 2D maze serves as the primary objective while navigating a car through winding paths. Players must maneuver to avoid being rammed by computer-controlled cars that compete for the same items. This arcade title supports both single-player and multiplayer modes, tasking drivers with clearing multiple mazes to progress.

Player layout in our catalog: 2P alt.

If you are exploring by feel rather than by title, jump from the tags above into the matching genre rooms, or return to the Arcade hall for the full wall.

Open Play on this page to start Head On (2 players). Keyboard, USB/Bluetooth pads, and the on-screen touch gamepad all work inside the emulator bar. Save states and fullscreen live on that same bar so you can pause mid-session and resume later.
