Buggy Run is a game that lets players race dune buggies in a championship over 15 possible tracks (plus 4 in 2 player mode) each winning money that can be used for dune buggy upgrades. In the single player mode, the player races other opponents on a large racing track displayed in a pseudo-3D angle. Before starting the race, the player goes to a garage to purchase parts needed to upgrade the car. The object to win is to get the player's racing car to cross the finishing line first in the last lap. The prize money the player wins, will help fund additional car parts for the next race. In the two player mode, the player races the opposing player on a small racing track displayed in a top-down 2D angle. The rules for winning as almost the same, but players can battle each other while racing. Race tracks take place in four different types of environments including green, water, snow and magma zones. From now on don't ever let anyone tell you the SEGA Master System doesn't have any decent racing games. Stick in Buggy Run and give them what for. Highly playable, especially in two-player mode, this is the racing game to get if you've still got a crusty 8-bit.
