ARCADE
In the arcade mode, your goal is to
transport loads of cargo across the USA in
stages from New York to San Francisco.
Clear each stage by reaching the goal within
the allotted time limit. Whenever you reach
your goal before the rival trucker, you’ll earn
the chance to play a bonus game.
NEW YORK to KEY WEST
1
Stay on the highway or veer off on a seaside
route in this first stage. Use the ‘slip stream’
(see p. 8) to overtake the rival truck and win!
St. PETERSBURG to DALLAS
2
This stage features a fork that will take you
along a dirt trail or through the center of town.
Either way, watch out for that monstrous
twister coming at ya’!
DALLAS to LAS VEGAS
3
This mountain course has lots of uphill slopes
that might result in time loss. But if you go too
fast and you just might wind belly up at the
bottom of the ravine!
LA SV E GAS to SA NF R A NC I S CO
4
Watch those curves and use that ‘slip stream’
to take control! The final goal is in sight!

runs out. You’ll then receive reward money based on
the combined value of the cargo and any remaining
time that is leftover.
If you can clear all the stages and set a new record, you can enter a three
character name. Use $^ to select a letter or number and press A to enter.
