As leader of a small band of freedom fighters your task is to deliver the plans of a new weapon to another underground group. Your means of transport is a powerful motorcycle called 'Desert Burner' which is capable of over 200mph.

By itself this is a pretty simple task, but what the instructions do not tell you is that you have to emulate Evil Knievel in jumping over various obstacles whilst avoiding bombs dropped by helicopters. You can attack the helicopters by firing at them via the space key. Controls are simple, CAPS SHIFT to accelerate and Z to jump.

As with many games of this simplicity it has an addictiveness out of proportion to the action; it may not be particularly sophisticated, a few flickers, a few attribute clashes, but it is pretty good value for the money. A nice touch is the slowly sinking sun and the moon appearing at night. A high score is kept, but no hall of fame.
