Publisher: Elite Systems · Developer: Tatsumi · Genre: Racing

Buggy Boy is far more than an ordinary racing game – it throws you into five different courses: Offroad, North, East, South and West. The Offroad track loops back to the start, while the others have a defined beginning and end. Each leg must be completed before time runs out. Along the way, collect bonus points from colored flags – gather them in a specific order for a 1000-point reward – and drive through scoring or time gates to earn extra points or seconds. Occasionally a soccer ball will appear – hit it to send it flying and earn 2000 points. But beware: bridges, tunnels and obstacles like boulders, logs and fences test your driving skills. Hit a log or small stone just right and your buggy will drive on two wheels until impact ends the stunt.
