Enduro is a car race which starts in one of the Slates of America, and finishes up in the same place. According to the description on the package you go through Baja's scorching desert sands, through Montana, Tennessee, New England, and back again. You don't accomplish this in one day of course, you do get a sense of driving through the night, as well as through the day.

The usual control options are offered to you, and they are very simple: left/right brake/faster. The road and the scenery scroll towards you, thus giving the impression that the car is moving forwards. It's similar to those machines in amusement arcades.

If you bump into another car you don't disintegrate, you just get slowed down for a while. I found it interesting at first but after half an hour I had had enough, it began to get boring.

The graphics are nothing special, but everything does move smoothly, and the response to the controls is positive. Playable, but not addictive.
