Aim of the game

To go "full circle" on the Shockway means a rider must pass through a dozen different districts and face a variety of hazards.

Game play

The various hazards (muggers, innocent pedestrians etc.) can be overcome by direct hand-to-hand combat or by a well-aimed bottle or brick, which can be collected from various parts of the Shockway. Points are awarded for fighting street gangs and muggers, as well as eliminating passers-by. Travelling on the faster lanes is more difficult but gives extra points, and completing a district within the time will give a bonus.

A simple enough game without a lot of depth, but still quite playable.
