疯狂机车
Loco-Motion is an action arcade game developed by Konami and released in 1982 under Centuri license. The player controls a train engine that must navigate through multiple levels while avoiding obstacles and enemies. The core objective involves maneuvering the locomotive across the screen to collect items and reach the exit. Controls are straightforward, allowing movement in four directions. Each level increases in difficulty with more hazards appearing on screen. The game features a progressive level structure where players must complete several stages to advance, with the train encountering various environmental challenges and adversaries that test reflexes and strategic positioning.
