Buggy Boy

Buggy Boy, also known as Speed Buggy, is an off-road racing game developed by Tatsumi and released in arcades in 1985. The cockpit version of the arcade cabinet has a panoramic three-screen display, a feature previously employed in "TX-1". An upright, single-screen cabinet was released in 1986 under the name Buggy Boy Junior.
Gameplay.
The object of the game is to drive around one of five courses (Offroad, North, East, South or West) in the shortest time possible. Each course has five legs, each filled with obstacles such as boulders and brick walls. Points are awarded for driving through gates and collecting flags. Offroad is a closed-circuit course that takes five laps to complete while North, South, East, and West are each a strict point A to point B style course.
The player could also hit logs and tree stumps in order to jump the buggy over obstacles, gaining extra points while airborne. Extra points are also rewarded for driving the buggy on two wheels.
Reception.
In Japan, "Game Machine" listed "Buggy Boy" on their September 1, 1985 issue as being the third most-successful upright arcade unit of the year.
"Zzap!64" awarded the Commodore 64 port of the game a gold medal and a 97% score, calling it "a cracking racing game that proves totally compulsive."
"Buggy Boy" was included as one of the titles in the 2010 book "1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die".
