About this game

Desert Burner is an action, arcade, and shooter game released for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum in 1984.

Players take the role of a freedom fighter tasked with delivering sensitive weapon design plans to another underground group. Riding a powerful road bike capable of speeds exceeding 200 mph, you must make the long journey with fast-action front-mounted cannons—even at night.
