Plot

Players take the role of the captain of a river patrol ship in this top-down game. Their mission: to save the poor souls who fell into the river. In the ship's way lay boulders, crocodiles, and tree logs, all waiting to sink the vessel. The ship also has a filtration who will sink the vessel if it does not reach the dam before a time limit expires.

Trivia

*This game was ported to the Atari 2600 by Tigervision in 1984. This version has the distinction of being one of the few Atari 2600 games with music. It is also one of the rarest games for the platform.

*A bootleg of the arcade version was made by Falcon under the "Silver Land" name. In that version the subject of the game changes from boat rescue to skiing.
