For reasons I can't put my finger on, I always liked this game. On paper it doesn't sound promising. The road is straight (no curves), and gameplay basically consists of dodging oncoming cars. Graphics are quite simple and buildings and trees move in a jerky/pattern-cycled fashion, with abrupt scenery changes. In fact, it's almost identical to the Commodore 16/Plus 4 original. Yet somehow, the graphics have a kind of charm to them and the gameplay is good fun (and you can go forever if you get good- my brother reached 1,000,000 points after playing for hours and had to stop for lunch). |
