Conversion of the iconic Atari coin-op driving and shooting game.
Most of the features of the game, as such, are present in the Spectrum version. The graphics are mostly spot on. This has all the elements of a top game, it just falls a bit short due to lacking a good feeling of speed at times, and being a bit too easy.

A faithful conversion of the Atari arcade favourite. Highly accurate and very playable.
Compared to other driving games of the period it looks almost amateurish. Just look at WEC Le Mans. Anyway, this game mixes racing with shooting, and that's the main difference. The other differences are that there is no sense of speed, even when it's going at maximum speed it looks like the car it's "walking", the road doesn't convey any movement effect, the car is not very responsive, but in spite of that the game is playable, maybe even too much, in fact is on the dull side. Still, let's give it

A great conversion of an nice racing ala MAD MAX shoot 'em up.
I dont fancy the graphics particularly and specially hate the green monochromatic scheme levels, and the sound can be a tad annoying, also the speed is a bit artificial, other than that this is arcade fun all over.
