Mr. Do's Wild Ride

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The third game in Universal's classic arcade series, Mr. Do!'s Wild Ride, was released in 1984. Mr. Do!'s scenario is a roller coaster, and the object is to reach the top. As the cars (and eventually other objects) speed around the track, you must escape by using a super speed button, or by climbing up small ladders scattered about the track. Two icons at the end of the level range from cakes to EXTRA letters or diamonds change upon collecting cherries at the top of each letter. The game is timed, and the timer ticks faster when the super speed button is depressed.

Brief Description of level configurations

First screen: basic roller coaster second: Large bobbing pirate ship third: Elevators fourth: large bowling balls fly around track fifth: carousel intersects coaster sixth: elevators in circular paths

After the sixth level is completed, the aforementioned screens are redone in order with various obstacles and/or more roller coaster cars with which to contend.

This game has caused great debate amongst fans, as it is generally considered either the best in the series, or the worst.
