Florida Interstate 86 puts the player in control of a car on a highway that evokes 1980s America. The main objective is to drive as far as possible towards the horizon, maneuvering through the constant flow of cars. This single-player competition evaluates performance through a points system, turning each drive into a race for a record. Success depends on the ability to operate a vehicle under constant pressure. The game design focuses on the core experience of driving without a plot or external goals, concentrating on the process of control.
