Grab your skateboard and take to the streets! The city needs cleaning, and it needs cleaning NOW. The evil Phantom Empty Coke Bottle Lobber has been out and about and has spread empty Coke bottles all over the highway. Naturally, this sort of gratuitous pollution can't be tolerated, so you've been asked to whizz around afteer the litterbug on your motorised skateboard and clean up after him. You can never catch up with the evil do-badder and his trail of bottles always lies ahead of you. At least you can make some impact...

Street Surfer is a 3D race game where you must whizz down a never-ending road, running over as many Coke bottles as possible. The skate boarder can accelerate or decelerate and can turn left and right around corners - although the faster he goes the more difficult it is to steer him around a bend. If the skater whizzes around a bend too fast and runs off the road, he loses velocity, but doesn't take a tumble.

The road isn't empty - cars zoom along it- but it's a one way road, and vehicles only come from behind and try to overtake. If you get up enough speed you'll leave them behind and maybe even start overtaking them yourself.

Some of the cars are rather unfriendly and try to bump you off the road, others are more amicable and hold a full bottle of Coke out for you to grab, although care has to be taken, or you might crash into the side of the car. Collisions with cars result in a tumble that reduces your health status as shown at the bottom of the screen on a bar that shrinks as you get squashed or crash into things.

When the bar reaches zero your skater won't recover from the next tumble: the skateboard whizzes away into the sunset and the game ends. Running over an empty bottle or grabbling a full bottle of Coke from a passing motorist magically restores a bit of health, allowing you to continue further into the game.

Cars aren't the only thing on the road - dangerous oil slicks make the going tough by causing skids and tumbles. Chickents trudge across the road very now and again and must be avoided.

At regular intervals along the road there are neighbourhood bottle disposal dumps where your collection of empties can be offloaded. Bonus points are awarded for the bottles delivered. Once the drop's been made, your health is restored and you can start on your travels again. At the bottom of the screen there's a countdown to each bottle dump that reveals how far you have to go before you can dump your load.

The graphics are pretty dull, but the gameplay is ten times worse. just whizz along the road collecting bottles. There isn't even a time limit to the game to add a little excitement. If you see Street Surfer coming along the road, take my advice and straing a wire across it at head height.
