Notes
"Motorway-madness takes on a whole new meaning in the world of Mad Max. The apocalypse has been and gone - and Max is king of the roads. Petrol has replaced gold as the most valuable commodity - and Max is out to corner the market. He needs fuel to maintain his position as a self-appointed 21st century traffic-warden, tracking down drivers who break the rules of the road - the kingdom of Mad Max. You can become Max in this riotous road race. You receive a message that there is a petrol station which has managed to hang on to a stockpile of fuel. You leap into your supercharged vehicle and roar off through the bleak countryside. You race through deserted suburbs, over a bridge, through a farm, a barren forest and past a city before the petrol station comes into view. If you hit anything along the way - obstacles include the wrecks of cars that have attempted to reach the fuel, or if you go off the road, the game will end. The further along the road you get, the more points you collect. If you manage to reach the petrol and claim the fuel you'll get 5,000 points. Keys A, D, W, and X control the action. If you want to make the game even more difficult try using the X key to move forward. That way less of the road is visible! We know it's a long program to key in - but the game is extremely addictive and well worth all the effort!" Converted to the MZ-80A by Greg Chapman.
