Play Moon Patrol Game Online - A Classic Moon Buggy Web Game
Release in 1982. The player controls a moon buggy, viewing it from the side, that travels over the moon's surface. While driving the moon buggy, obstacles such as craters and mines must be avoided. The buggy is also attacked by UFOs from above and tanks on the ground. Moon Patrol was one of the earliest side-scrolling space shooters and is credited for the introduction of parallax scrolling in side scrolling video games, although Jump Bug featured it first. There are 25 checkpoints along the way, each symbolized with a letter from A to Z, and serving as a respawn point. Every five checkpoints mark a separate "stage" within the entire course; reaching the end of a stage under the par time grants a large score bonus. Have Fun!
