Moon Patrol, developed by Irem and released in North America by Williams, is an engaging sci-fi experience that is both challenging and surprisingly chill. Taking the wheel as a Luna City police officer patrolling the beat of Sector Nine, players must contend with driving obstacles in the form of boulders and craters, and flying enemies that fire dangerous projectiles, with shooting, jumping and speed all factors in their success. But the increasingly menacing landscape scrolls by at a relatively gentle pace, courtesy of novel parallax scrolling graphics, and the visuals are cheerful enough that it never feels overwhelming. Ported to countless platforms, Moon Patrol played best in the arcade, where the cacophony of other machines and the smell of pizza (if it was a Chuck E. Cheese) transported you to a place far away.
