Game Introduction
This game is about three feet high and designed specially for children ages three to four.
Game Play
Use the joystick to move your dune buggy across the road, avoiding collisions with any objects like rocks and cactuses, to pick up flags for points. Each flag is worth 1 point, so the more flags you pick up the more points you score. When you are about to cross the finish line, honk your horn at the awaiting crowd.
