Highway LCD Game

Avoid road hazards while transporting a hitchhiker down the highway in this handheld Radio Shack® LCD game.

The object of the game is to drive down the highway, pick up a hitchhiker from the left side of the screen, and safely transport her to the "bus stop" on the right side of the screen.

But, look out! You're traveling along a nasty stretch of the highway. Dogs, barricades and logs that appear distant one second are smack-dab in front of your car's bumper. Each time you hit an obstacle, your car goes to the "junkyard". If you wreck three cars, the game is over.

If you manage to safely pick up and drop off a hitchhicker three times, you get to stop at the "gas station", where you can score bonus points by making each of the three symbols on the "gas pump" match. When you run out of luck matching the symbols, you return to the highway for the next round where the speed of the game increases.

Obstacles in the road only appear in the middle three lanes of the highway. If a hitchhiker appears on the left side of the screen you can move to the safety of the left-most lane where you can avoid any obstacles before stopping to pick up the hitchhiker. Similarly, if you've picked up a hitchhiker and the bus stop sign appears on the right side of the screen, you can move into the right-most lane to avoid obstacles before stopping to drop off the hitchhiker. Note however you don't score any points for avoiding obstacles in the middle three lanes while you are in either of these two safe lanes.
