Official description
This game is not as "simple" as it looks! Select any one of eight traffic patterns inspired by the most treacherous traffic you'll ever encounter on the nation's highways.
Traffic flow varies from a few slow-moving autos to frantic rush hour intensity, complete with blaring horns and roaring engines - everything except exhaust.
Test your agility, cunning and courage by helping your "daredevil chicken" across the freeway.
You get a point for each crossing, but you'll need quick reflexes and great timing to make it across without getting hit.
Freeway by Activision is unlike any video game you've ever seen. It's fast, tricky and traffic-jammed with fun!

David Crane came up with the idea when he saw someone attempting to cross Chicago's Lake Shore Drive during the worst traffic of the year, do to the Consumer Electronic Show that day. Someone at Activision objected to people being struck by cars. As would everyone, especially the players, since the object was to avoid the cars. Anywho chickens were acceptable for running over and replaced the human characters. 'Bloody Human' is the name of the original, unpublished version with humans, which is available for play on emulators. Mr Crane insists that this game is different from Frogger.
