I could be wrong, but I think it's as simple as that TI-BASIC race game...  It's really similar to
falldown, except you are what looks like a car driving down the track.  I made a two-player version
of that for the 83, but it was slow.  The basic idea is to keep a "map" of the background, to
calculate collisions and such.  Every cycle, a row is added to the bottom, and a row is removed from
the top, since it is no longer neccessary.  I don't know how to do all of that in asm, but if you
take a look at that BASIC game, then I think you can figure it out.
