Moon Patrol

The game features various dangers on the Moon, including rocks which can be shot or jumped over, pits that must be jumped, and UFOs which fire at the player or bombard the ground. Later in the game, stationary tanks and landmines are introduced, along with carnivorous plants that pop up out of pits. The player also encounters rocket cars that stalk the buggy from behind before rushing forward to ram it down.

As the player progresses through the game, they can attempt to complete the first course, known as the "Beginner Course", followed by the harder Champion Course.
