The Parking Lot Overview
Back in the early 2000s, when Flash games were a common way to pass time online, you might have come across The Parking Lot. It was one of those straightforward driving games that didn't need a manual or a story. You just loaded it up in your browser and started parking.
You control a simple car from a top-down view. Your job is to guide it into a marked space. You press the arrow keys to steer left or right, accelerate forward, or brake and reverse. The challenge comes from the tight space and the clock. You have to navigate around light posts, other parked cars, and the lot boundaries, all while a timer counts down. If you bump into something, you lose one of your three attempts. The game moves at a deliberate pace; it's less about speed and more about careful steering and judging angles. It feels like a quiet, focused puzzle where every small adjustment matters.
