Desert Patrol is a game loosely based on the arcade game Moon Patrol. In it, you are driving a jeep, and you have to shoot obstacles in your path... and also jump over boulders or pits. This game is fairly similiar to another game by the same author, Moon Hopper, that was sold by Computerware. I believe the author started his own company, as every game that the new company (Arcade Animation, Inc.) put out was by him.
