The player takes control of Road Runner , who must run along the road, avoiding obstacles like trucks, landmines, and falling rocks, while also evading capture by Wile E. Coyote. If Road Runner doesn't eat birdseed, he will become weak and Wile E. will catch him.
The gameplay involves guiding Road Runner through the road, earning points for eating birdseed and avoiding hazards that hit Wile E. Coyote. The Atari ST version requires Road Runner to eat birdseed to score points, while in other versions, it is optional.
