This is a fun game which one or two people can play on the standard machine (or faster with Extended Basic) using keyboard or joysticks.

The object of the game is survival. As you go along you have to avoid houses and your own or opponent's track. At first all obstacles are visible but as the game progresses they become invisible. Further on, a bouncing ball comes into play and also has to be avoided.

You gain points for track laid and passing through flashing power squares. You have eleven lives so the game lasts a reasonable length of time.

Unfortunately the game surround flashes along with the power squares, which makes it hard on your eyes, and although the invisible obstacles can be seen momentarily when you pass through flashing squares they aren't revealed when you crash with them.
