This is a simple game which involves steering a red car along a one way street occupied by numerous other yellow cards, travelling at the same speed.

The aim of the game is to drive the red car faster than the yellow cars, avoiding collisions by weaving between them - the object being to drive the furthest distance.

However, the fuel consumption has to be taken into account, because if the car travels too slowly it will burn too much fuel and hence run out before reaching the next garage.

The amount of fuel available and the distance to the next refuelling station are continuously displayed on the screen.

The game ends after four collisions or when the fuel runs out. At the end of the game the five best distances travelled are displayed with the names of the drivers. This last feature is worth noting, as a group of people can take turns at driving and then compare their respective scores.

Although this game can only be played at one level, it is well designed and amusing. If played in groups, it will certainly help pass winter evenings and maybe put a few bragging drivers in their place.
