This increases the challenge of the game as the screen clutters up and the player has to avoid the tombstones. As the player hits them, they scream or squeal and are replaced on-screen by tombstones. The object is to run down 'gremlins' who are fleeing the vehicle. In the game, one or two players control an on-screen car with a steering wheel and an acceleration pedal.
