Description

Jet Boat is a 1-player scrolling boat racing game for the BBC Micro.

The player navigates a boat through a large race track, and can turn left, right, and accelerate. The player has 70 seconds to finish each lap and, if they hit the shore or other dangers, they are slowed down. Each lap of the track adds additional dangers to the track, including: ducks, rocks, flags, docked boats, large overturned ships, sea serpents, and barricades. If the player doesn't complete a lap it's game over.
