Playing on Atari 50, my goal with this one was to be decent enough to hit extended play. That turned out to be a tough task! I would have pumped plenty of quarters into this one in the attempt and probably would never make it with the intended 2-player co-op.
Once again, I can see this as a potential inspiration for many games to come. The graphical detail is also a leap forward from the likes of, say, Sprint 8. But it seems to me to be missing one obvious component: there's no firefighting elements, at all. Might as well call it "runaway tractor-trailer." I guess it might have been beyond the capabilities of the time to have a water hose effect, let alone fires to put out.
