Drive a buggy across the desert, avoiding all the hazards and searching continually for fuel. The desert is strewn with barrels to dodge and rivers to cross. Your aim is to find two white poles and drive between them; if you succeed, your buggy will be refuelled. A pair of green arrows on the panel at the bottom of the screen indicates if you are on course or not. The graphics are colourful, and the game really gives an impression that you're driving fast. The sound effects are reasonable as well. However, the obstacles are placed randomly in each game, and as you progress, it can be almost impossible to dodge them, which is very frustrating indeed. You'll also be going so fast that you often won't be able to notice the white poles in time and you'll drive past them. Despite this, it's still all right if you're looking for a quick game to play for a few minutes.
