The player portrays the Road Runner, who must outmaneuver and outsmart Wile E. Coyote while eating seeds along the way in order to stay alive. The game also has full-stereo music scores from Road Runner and other Looney Tunes. One unusual feature is the screen scrolls constantly from right to left, unlike almost every other game that scrolls normally from left to right. | The player portrays the Road Runner, who must outmaneuver and outsmart Wile E.
