"[8] Your Computer rated the ZX Spectrum version three stars and wrote, "The screen display is excellent and the game is rather more playable than some of Elite's previous offerings.

[10] Home Computing Weekly, which gave the ZX Spectrum version two stars out of five, called the game "boring", in part because of the inability to change its difficulty settings.

The publication noted "the limited graphics are very well-drawn, the sound is simple but effective and machine code ensures a smooth movement of vehicles and scrolling.

[19] The game would have had the player control the General Lee, with the goal being to break Daisy out of jail before Boss Hogg can get to her, while also avoiding Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane and Deputy Enos Strate in their police vehicles.

One of the game's major glitches included Rosco and Enos abruptly ramming the General Lee if it got too close to their vehicles, resulting in the player losing a life.
