Club Drive is a 1994 racing simulation video game developed and published by Atari Corporation for the Atari Jaguar. The premise takes place in 2098 at the Club Drive amusement park, where driving became legalized after being deemed illegal for safety reasons years prior due to the invention of indestructible vehicles which allowed the ban to be lifted. Gameplay consists of three modes for one or two players, each with their own adjustable ruleset.
Club Drive was one of the first games unveiled for Jaguar, being conceived by lead programmer Todd Powers. Atari did not know how to market the game's concept, and pushed Powers into making it a more serious racing title. It was touted to feature online multiplayer via the Jaguar Voice Modem, but the unit was delayed and later canceled in 1995, thus being released with the online support omitted.
Club Drive garnered generally unfavorable reception; some critics commended the ability to explore within the environments, but others felt divided regarding the audio and two-player mode, while criticism was geared towards aspects such as the visuals and gameplay. By 1995, the game had sold 13,994 copies. Retrospective commentary for has been mixed, and has been cited as one of the worst video games of all time. In 2022, the game was included as part of the Atari 50 compilation.
