Gameplay

Players control four-wheel drive dune buggies equipped with weapons. After conquering the basic track, players will have to navigate through 11 additional tracks in order to win the championship. The locations are Saudi Arabia, Iowa, Africa, Swiss Alps, Baja Mexico, Antarctica, Ohio, Las Vegas, New Jersey, California and Australia. A player has to beat three vehicles in order to win the race. An infinite number of missiles is used to knock opponents out of the way. Crashing into certain obstacles will allow the player to collect extra points.[3] The game is playable by up to two players, with a dual sit-down cabinet setup in the arcade or the always-on split screen of the SNES game.

If all 11 levels are completed, the player collects 500K points.

gollark: Yes, I know.
gollark: Maybe I should memorize the Toki Pona dictionary.
gollark: Doubtful.
gollark: The originally intended and very poorly-defined osmarkscalculator™ way to do this would just be to make `deriv` a higher-order function, to have currying, and to probably have some kind of weird way in which values which can be substituted into are implicitly functions.
