Fairly amusing, but after a few miles of the same sort of landscape it gets a bit tedious. Read Review
A fun game and well worth the money. The terrain is not easy, there are lava pits and radioactive rocks which you must jump. Read Review
The graphics are great and the game has that fascinating quality which leads to compulsion. Read Review
The lava pools are just too small to be spotted when your eyes are busy on other parts of the screen. Read Review
Extremely addictive and fun to play. Read Review

You are a galactic courier commissioned by the people of Zennon to run the blockade of aliens besieged their planet, carrying documents vital to the planet's defence. Taking a Dune Rider you set off across the desert wastes of the barren world pursued by the desperate aliens. Move backwards and forwards over the landscape to destroy the enemy fighters and jump over radioactive rocks and lava pits which block your way. At a later stage in the game you will have to blast the top off large outcroppings before you can jump over them. Replenish your fast diminishing fuel supply by hitting a tanker and catching the cannister as it falls to the ground.
CAPS LOCK - Left, CTRL - Right, RETURN - Fire Upwards, SHIFT - Fire Forwards, SPACE - Jump
Alternatively, you may use a joystick.
