## Description
_Velocipede_ is a side-view scrolling game where the screen scrolls from left
to right constantly as you play the role of Mr Megafat who loves going to the
beach to swim in the summer months, but it is half a mile away and he doesn’t
like walking. To get there, Mr Megafat has invented a bicycle, called a
Velocipede S.T.A. (Simple to Assemble), but the problem is the road to the
beach is full of creatures travelling the opposite way which cannot be
touched. Luckily the bicycle has a plasma cannon and can also jump into the
air to shoot or avoid the creatures like birds that drop fire and giant
snails. If a creature is touched then the bike breaks and a life is lost but
it can be rebuilt to keep going to the beach. In the middle of the screen is a
counter which shows the distance to the beach and once the beach is reached
then it has to be travelled to again with more creatures to attend to. Before
the game is played there are various options that can be selected and they are
speed (1-3), lives (1-9) and starting level (1-3).
