Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What vehicle did the main character use in the game?

Answer: A speedboat

The boat was equipped with weapons which could be improved as the game went on. You started out with simple laser beams and worked your way up to nuclear missiles.

2. Which of these bodies of water could the player navigate in the game?

Answer: Rivers

The game took the player to locations around the globe. Two of the most prominent were the Nile and the Amazon river systems.

3. What did the player receive if he or she completed a section of the game?

Answer: Bags of money

At the end of each part of a river, the boat pulled up to a dock. There, the main character jumped out and was thrown bags of money. One could use the funds to purchase new gear for your craft.

4. Which of the following items,vital to your success, could also be found in the water?

Answer: Fuel power-ups

The boosters appeared as glowing shards. You drove over them to pick them up.

5. Throughout the game, the player had to find and transport certain items. Which was one of the things you had to find?

Answer: A scientist trapped in a cage

The person looked quite scared when he first appeared on screen. If anything impacted your ship, he would be dislodged and you had to pick up the cage again.

6. What was the name of the bonus area where you flew through obstacles in order to earn money for new weapons?

Answer: The Hydra-Dome

The course was littered with items such as flaming barriers and hoops. There were no enemies here. All you had to do was fly the course as well as you could.

7. What items in the water can cause damage to your craft?

Answer: Logs

There were trees lining the riverside. These left considerable debris in the path of your boat. If you crashed into one, you could lose what you were carrying, and waste precious time.

8. Which one of the choices listed was the only one that could cause you to end a game?

Answer: Running out of fuel

When this happened, no matter how close you were to your destination, your boat just stopped where it was. Fuel cells were relatively plentiful early in the game, and tougher to find in later rounds.

9. Which of the following was not a weapon in the game?

Answer: Crossbow bolts

Enemies became more numerous and well-armed the further you went in the game. It was useful for the player to purchase gear such as six-shooter guns. One of the most expensive weapons was the nuclear missile, which was needed toward the end of the game.

10. What was the name of your craft in the game?

Answer: Hydrafoil

You did not get to change craft during the game, only restock the one with which you started. We never learned the name of the pilot.
