Lunar Buggy

Drive the buggy across the Moon from base to base: ten bases, 500 miles each, from base I to base X. Three layers of lunar landscape scroll past at three speeds. Steer left and right along the road and push up to jump the craters that come along it. A flying saucer zigzags across the sky; shoot it down, firing ahead or straight up, for 100 points times the base number, and it returns from the right in a new colour each base. One crash ends the trip: rolling into a crater or touching the saucer wrecks the buggy. Reach base X to recover the buggy.

Controls: Controller 1 (or 2). Left and right drive, up jumps; the left button fires ahead (with the stick up: straight up), the right button fires straight up.
