The last of the trio of games Gargoyle wrote for Elite, this is the least successful of them. It's essentially a road racing game with the twist that instead of driving cars, you're in giant trucks. To add to the concept, the game even came with a voucher that allowed you to claim a free Yorkie bar.
It's a competent effort that doesn't disgrace itself, being faced paced with a suitably weaving track effect. However, aside from the truck graphics, there's nothing to distinguish it from any other such game of the period as there's no particular feeling that you are actually driving a truck. If you really want the feel of that, you're much better off with Pete Cooke's Juggernaut game.
So, that's basically it; it's just another arcade racer. Indeed, aside from the fact that they were credited in Crash magazine, there's nothing about the look or feel of it that you'd even particularly notice that Gargoyle Games had written it. As such it seems a bit of shame that they had to bow out on such a comparative low note given the originality and excellence of most of their previous games.

It's another racing game and another one with Super in the title. Simply put it's Out Run but with a truck instead of a Ferrari...one notable thing comparing this to Out Run is that it's faster meaning this game is made of win, because Out Run if you'll remember was very slow on the Spectrum and as a result it was really disappointing whereas this is actually quite fun and enjoyable, well saying that the fun and enjoyment will probably last a short time but I still think this is a really good racing game that's worth checking out.
