Moon Patrol

I was a great Moon Patrol fan when the arcade appeared about six years ago, and therefore I looked at this conversion with many a nostalgic thought.

The player drives a moon buggy across a right-to-left scrolling landscape, blasting everything that moves and leaping rocks and holes in the ground. The action gets pretty frenetic on later levels, with landmines, tanks and flying saucers making life very difficult.

Although it's fun, Moon Patrol is dated and offers little more than a few hours entertainment.
