I only recently came into my copy of Happy Trails, and find
it entertaining. I'd rate it as an average, enjoyable game. Although Activision
won accolades for "originality" with this game, it was a rip-off of
Loco-Motion - which had already existed in the arcade, and was released by
Mattel shortly after Happy Trails. I had Loco-Motion long before I got Happy
Trails, and think that Loco-Motion is the better game.

Wish the background was more interesting. A nice feature of this game is the selectable board size. |
