You drive a speed buggy around a race course dodging rocks and logs and stuff. If you hit certain banners or flags you get points or extra time. Three monitors gives you nearly a 180 degree field of view. You sit down inside a big cabinet and it's almost like you are driving a real car.

Probably one of the first arcades to have three monitors (can someone verify this?)

Only bad thing was that it cost $0.50 per game. I was lucky to have a rich friend who supplied me with lots of cash to play this game. I remember dumping $20 of my friends money into this machine one day, got pretty good at it. Was one of the last arcade games I enjoyed playing.

The secret is to know which rocks to crash into.

There is a link to a video of the games attract mode on the post I linked to on the front page, however this is a video of the PCB hoooked up to a television monitor. You really need to sit down inside the three monitor cabinet to get a feel for what it was like to play. The single monitor version pretty much makes it just slightly better than other standard racing games.
