Bad traffic turns to something worse. One of the few Textfire demos that I can actually imagine as the intro to a full game.

A joke game about frustrating driving, June 5, 2017The Textfire Demo 12-pack was released on April Fool's in 1998, claiming to be demos of an upcoming commercial studio called Textfire.
This textfire game actually called out to me. There was a game in the 2016 ectocomp that also dealed with this subject: driving in a car in stressful circumstances.
This game is a joke demo, so it stops after the most interesting part. But there is a long bit of simulation with driving around that really does a good job of depicting how frustrating bad traffic is.
