From the flyer. | |||
System I, and ultra-high performance, highly flexible system from Atari games. | |||
Now featuring, Road Runner, the latest in the line of state-of-the-art products. | |||
Gameplay with outstanding entertainment value! | |||
The player portrays the Road Runner who must avoid Wile E. Coyote, and his tricks | |||
while eating seed along the way in order to stay alive. | |||
In later game screen, the challenge intensifies; there are trucks to dodge, lemonade | |||
to drink, steel shot to eat, and invisible paint to use. | |||
A brand new control, the Hall-effect joystick, guides both the speed and | |||
direction of movement of the Road Runner. The Hall-effect device responds | |||
in all directions and positions (not just the standard four or eight), | |||
giving the player a full range of speed and movement. | |||
Timing the use of the hop button is critical to out-maneuver Wile E. Coyote. | |||
The player must learn to jump over mines, oil slicks, crevices and steel shot. | |||
The entertainment value of Road Runner is highlighted as the player is | |||
encouraged to take risks for a high score by picking up the piles of seeds, | |||
teasting Wile E. Coyote (allowing him to follow closely), forcing the | |||
coyote's plans to backfire, jumping over the mines, eating the steel shot | |||
and drinking lemonade. | |||

The operator can select from four difficulty settings, four different | |||
starting life options, four options for maximum number of lives, and | |||
