The blurb says that all you have to do is to drive the car across the field, and wherever you encounter a monster, knock it underground. But the monsters won't stay put. They will dig their way back up to the surface and, as soon as they remerge, they will regenerate into larva, "Lar", then pupa, "Boo", and will continue to grow every time they are knocked underground until finally they turn into adults, "Eema". These are particularly nasty as they shoot at you.

In fact, you drive your car over what look like plates and you simply go over anything that's not an "Eema". That's just about all there is to the game apart from the odd chance to get bonus points. You go on to the next screen when you knock out all the monsters. I must confess that I couldn't achieve this however hard I tried.

Although the game uses sprites and sounds well, the baddies and yourself doesn't show up well at all on the light coloured background and this spoils a game that could have been very addictive.
