What is it?
Geisterfahrer is a game for the iPad in which you drive on
the wrong side of the Autobahn.
The challenge is to escape oncoming cars as long as
possible. The only control you have is to steer left and right.
While the game goes on speed is continuously increasing and
so are the number of oncoming cars.
Each 20 meters gets you 10 points and each car passed
another 5 points.
This game is extremely addictive due to its
simplicity and
inevident longing to reach higher scores.
Purchase
Go to the app store on your iPad and search for
'Geisterfahrer'. You can purchase the game for just $2.99 (Euro 2.39)
What
does the word 'Geisterfahrer' mean?
There appears to be no common translation for the German
word 'Geisterfahrer'. A literal translation (which is used sometimes,
but not so often) is 'ghost driver'.
Obviously, it's describing somebody driving on the wrong
side of the 'Autobahn' (motorway, freeway).
And as native English speakers love those German words like
'Glockenspiel', Kindergarten', 'Doppelgaenger', 'Blitzkrieg' and so
forth, the term 'Geisterfahrer' becomes increasingly popular.
