Description from the packaging.

A sudden squall line has turned the peaceful Mississippi River into a raging sea of ten foot whitecaps! Look! Over there! Several speedboats have capsized! You can see it all from the captain's walk on the barge S.S. Commodore. Rescue the drowning boaters without colliding with a speedboat or crashing into the floating debris?

Disaster on the Mississippi! Speedboaters, capsized in a sudden storm, scream for help as they fight to stay alive amidst treacherous undertows and currents. Their last hope- you- Captain of the barge S.S. Commodore. Use your joystick as a captain's rudder, steering bravely into the ten foot waves to stage a miracle rescue. Reach a boater and you've got points. But watch out! A captainless speedboat is careening toward your starboard side! Debris straight ahead! Crash three times and all is lost! Steady as she goes. There are lives to be saved!
