How To Play

  • The player's vehicle is controlled using the joystick.
  • While the joystick is held, the vehicle stays on the corresponding side of the road and returns to the middle lane as soon as the joystick is released.
  • In particularly precarious situations, the player has the option of using button 4 (BLAST) to shoot down a vehicle in front of him, thus escaping certain doom for the time being.
  • The game consists of 3 stages that flow seamlessly into each other. With each stage the level of difficulty increases.
  • The player is granted 3 lives at the beginning. These are not replenished.
  • After stage 3 is completed the game is won.
