Steeple Run

Two horses race in two lanes, one above the other, over a course of one, two or three miles, with hills rolling past behind the turf. Push right to drive your horse on and left to rein it in; let go and it slows down. The last bit of speed counts most. A button jumps, and a faster horse jumps further. Hedges, rails, walls and water come at you at random: touch one and your horse is held to a crawl until it is past. A horse cannot jump again straight after landing, so timing matters. Race a friend, race the computer's horse, or ride alone against the clock. The first to finish wins, and the best time for each course length is kept.

Controls: Joystick only: right drives on, left reins in, and either side button jumps. Player 1 uses controller 1 and races in the top lane, player 2 controller 2 in the bottom lane (one player: either controller). On the title, up and down choose a line, left, right or a button change it, and a button on Start starts.
