Official description

Avoid collisions and score points! One, 2, 3 or 4 players each control one car on the track playfield. In one and two-player games, each player uses a separate vertical track. In three and four-player games, two players share one track. Each player tests his skill against computer cars. Use the knob on the Controller to steer your car around the oncoming cars heading straight for you! Press the red Controller button to increase your speed.
Score one point for every car you pass. Your car is color coordinated with your score that appears at the top of the playfield.
Each game is completed after 2 minutes and 16 seconds or when a player or team scores 99 points. Your score will flash on and off during the final 16 seconds of game time. You'll hear the hum of the motors, CRASHES, and BEEPS when you score.
