Description
The player commandeers a jeep trying to make its way from headquarters to front base. Game mechanics are similar to those in MotorRace USA. The game is delivered in a top-down perspective; and as you make your way to the final destination, your fuel supply runs out and must be refueled at the five bases (checkpoints) along the way. When your fuel supply runs out, the game is over. That's where the similarities end.
The jeep is equipped with a high-powered bazooka which can be used to shoot enemy cars, side cars, and batteries while you make your way to the next base. After each one of the bases, you will come to a fork where the resulting path takes you through a different scene. There are six scenes in the game, including Sea, City, Waste, Farm, Forest, and Valley; and each of the scenes have their own unique enemies. Once you have reached front base, the game restarts at headquarters.
