Fantastic arcade game missed few steps in its transport to the home version.

The game that had everybody leaning their heads to the side and screaming, "Power-up over there, by the rocks!" It was fun as anything to fly along in the crystal blue water, dodging obstacles and leaping off ramps--or even buildings--to sneak ahead of other riders. The graphics were clear and clever, setting you in anything from the high Arctic, to ancient times, to a modern city. Half the fun was in gaining access to secret tunnels, new boats and different tracks.

Boat-racing is not just for the jet set anymore. Still just as much fun as the day it came out.
