Up ’n Down for ColecoVision – Sega’s Iconic 1983 Arcade Racing Game

Up ’n Down is a fast-paced arcade racing game developed and published by Sega Enterprises.

Originally released in 1983, this classic title quickly became a favorite among arcade enthusiasts before being ported to several popular home systems, including the ColecoVision, Atari 2600, Atari 8-bit computers, and the Commodore 64.

In Up ’n Down, players take control of a small race car that travels forward and backward along a continuously scrolling, branching track. The objective is to collect flags scattered along the road while avoiding — or jumping on — rival vehicles to score points and clear obstacles. The gameplay combines speed, precision, and quick reflexes, offering an experience that is both challenging and addictive.

The ColecoVision version of Up ’n Down preserves the vibrant arcade feel of the original, delivering smooth controls, colorful graphics, and the same high-energy action that made the game a standout hit in the early 1980s. With its simple yet engaging mechanics, Up ’n Down exemplifies the golden age of Sega’s arcade innovation and remains a must-play title for fans of classic racing and retro gaming.

Collectors and enthusiasts of the ColecoVision library will appreciate Up ’n Down not only for its nostalgic gameplay but also for its role in bringing one of Sega’s earliest racing concepts into the home console era — a true piece of video game history.
