Desert Speedtrap Starring Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote is an action game developed by Probe Entertainment, that was released in 1994 for the Sega Master System console and Sega Game Gear color handheld system.
Gameplay
The Road Runner must outwit the Coyote, while maintaining his strength by eating birdseed. While the premise is not unlike that of some other popular games for Game Gear and Mega Drive/Genesis, this platform game suffered in popularity due to difficulties encountered in controlling the Road Runner.
