An infuriating dollop of fun which all my family enjoyed. Four separate coloured tiers of scenery scroll at different rates to provide an illusion of moving in an arid, spacious environment; a fitting tune (turned off by F1 if you insist) accompanies your buggy on its perilous journey.

It's not unlike Skramble on terra firma... except that the terra is not too firm! Craters the dumps (as in Skramble there seems no logic in this).

The usual format does present some orientation problems at first but this is soon overcome. After a given duration on this track you are switched to a dogfight screen, then back to the course again. After several such encounters, with different aliens each time, you get to meet the final obstacles.

Five skill levels and a demo mode (great for reviewers) are provided. It is certainly different and features unusual graphics. But to my mind the play is too disjointed; on the other hand, my youngster loved it.
