Is it still worth playing?
Sega's 1986 vehicular combat game for the Master System, ported to Japanese arcades shortly after its release and to several home computers in 1989. You begin on a superbike, and in later levels you drive a sports car, a jet, a jet ski, a helicopter and a Formula One car. All the vehicles are armed to deal with enemy vehicles and gun emplacements, and the helicopter levels play as a vertically scrolling shooter. The course is still new each time, with a change of vehicle from level to level.
