A living road trip across America, on your desktop
Coast to Coast: The American Dream Machine is a hand-built 16-bit world that runs as a true animated wallpaper behind your icons. In attract mode it drives the Dream Machine sea to sea through six scored US regions, the art moving to the music. Press Ctrl+Alt+P and it becomes a playable driving arcade — steer, jump and react through the same six regions, with the number keys 1–6 to jump straight to any one of them. It's far more than a static car wallpaper or a looping video: it's a desktop road trip you can actually drive.
Where the road takes you
The Concrete Canyons
Open at dawn in the city that never sleeps, weaving the yellow cab through New York's towers.
The Bayou Run
Skim the swamp by airboat through the misty Louisiana bayou, counting what stirs below.
The Great Plains Derby
Open the throttle and match a wild mustang stride for stride across the prairie.
The Grizzly Ridge
You woke the bear — outrun a grizzly through the Rockies to reach the mountain cabin.
The Mojave Mile
Ride Route 66 through the Mojave desert, minding the quicksand that swallows the road.
The Pacific Coast
The long road ends where the ocean begins — the camper bus rolls into the Pacific finale.
Not a picture. A world.

Runs behind your icons
It lives on your desktop as a true animated wallpaper — frame-capped, quiet in the background, and it pauses for fullscreen games.
Song-synced 16-bit
Six US regions, each scored and cycling in attract mode. The art moves to the music, with CRT scanline and HUD toggles.
