A very popular arcade game in its time. You drive a buggy on one of the five tracks offered, your only opponent is the clock.

All sorts of obstacles stand in your way: signs, trees, rocks, streams and also loads of bonuses in the form of slalom doors (to pass through) or small colorful flags (to collect). It's simple, fast and easy to control, the three joint auspices of addiction.

Amiga conversion is pretty neat but since you replay it on an emulator, emulate the arcade version. Caution, however, decrease the paddle/keyboard sensitivity (the original was played with a steering wheel).

If you like the genre, I recommend Outrun (on arcade, of course).
