Load screen. This displays for a while, it is replaced with a black screen telling I must stop the tape & press the space bar

So the good guys have intercepted a virus and I must deliver it top the sterilization labs in Baja, California

Start of the game. The virus is in the crate. When its loaded an icon appears in the space between the two screen headings showing Colorado, start point, and the cash earned

I'm off

This is the main enemy I came up against, some kind of robotic trash can that tries to get in the way

It is possible to travel 'off-road'. No enemies to get in the way but no bonus items to collect either and I don't think I travelled as fast.

There's a balloon ahead. I think this is a bonus item

Any crash, whether with a robot or part of the scenery, means that the virus is lost. Here it is being transported from the wreckage, it's also gone from the top of the screen

The chase to recover the virus is on hold as I am out of fuel. There are three tanks so once I have used this reserve I have one more left - then I'll probably need more supplies

This is what a tunnel looks like from the outside

This is what a tunnel looks like from the inside. Looks like its lit by torches, well this is an old game I suppose. The white thing I am chasing is, I believe, the enemy craft that stole the virus

Bother, just as I was gaining on the white craft

Just shot a robot but there's still one between me and the thing I'm chasing. They do tend to cluster around it

From somewhere I've picked up some special weapons, though lobbing nukes around does seem a little over the top

I may have nukes but I'm still firing plain old bullets. The craft I'm chasing is dead ahead with a couple of, what I hope are, supply balloons around it

Yup, three supply balloons so I'll just shoot these robots, pick them up, then take care of that other craft and recover the virus

Noooooo! Game over!
