Desert Peril

Desert Peril is an action arcade game for one or two players.

The player controls a small vehicle that continually drives towards the right. The player can move forwards, backwards, up, and down. The player fights against flyers, balloons, and satellites on the main screen, and must move laterally to avoid damage and shoot enemies out of the sky. At the same time, the player must watch the land-mine detector at the bottom of the screen, and must move up and down to avoid incoming land mines. The player is rewarded bonus points for each mile travelled. The player starts with three lives, and gains an extra every 10,000 points.
