Gameplay

Somewhere in the galaxy lies the planet RS-121 – a desolate planet that has suffered terrible disasters which made life impossible.[5]

Only one construction still remains on the planet – a highway called the Black Line.[5] It is said that an ancient legend is somehow connected to this highway.[5] Players must knock enemies off the road by using missiles before they can knock him off the same highway.[5] Automobile repair shops can be found where cars can be repaired and re-supplied with much-needed weapons.[5] The playable vehicle resembles a 1982 DeLorean while the unplayable enemy vehicles resemble dune buggies.[6][7]
