Stocker

The player drives a stock car that is being chased by the police. Avoid on-coming traffic, stay on the road to score more points and drive through gas stations to extend play time. The game ends when you run out of gas, finish the race, or receive three speeding tickets if that dip switch setting is on.

Gameplay

The player controls a stock racing car and must be the first to win a cross-country road race.

Reception

Earl Buckelew wrote in Compute!'s Gazette: "while it's designed with younger players in mind, Stocker has enough thrills to provide the rest of us with hours of fun. With skill and determination, you may even see the checkered flag in California."

Bill Kunkel for Ahoy! wrote, "Stocker is a quaint game, almost like an antique that's been painfully restored using state-of-the-art techniques."
