When Driver was released in 1999, it introduced gamers to a difficult opening level that has since become legendary. This infamous tutorial was set in an underground car park and required players to perform a series of complex maneuvers within a tight 60-second window.
Inspired by the crime chase thriller “The Driver” (1978), this tutorial demanded precision and skill, setting an incredibly high bar right from the start. However, it left many players frustrated and unable to progress.

According to PC Gamer, Martin Edmondson, the game’s creator, drew inspiration from “The Driver” for this challenging level. The film’s protagonist navigates an underground garage, a feat that players of the game had to replicate.
I could do that garage in just under 25 seconds. So to me, giving you 60 seconds was plenty of time.
