Gameplay
In Enduro, the player is a race car driver in the National Enduro, a long-distance endurance race. The object of the race is to pass a certain amount of cars each day. Doing so will allow the player to continue racing. On the first day, the player must pass 200 cars, and on each following day 300 cars, in order to survive.
Weather
In Enduro, weather and time of day are factors in how to play. During the day the player may drive through an icy patch on the road which would limit control of the vehicle, or a patch of fog may reduce visibility.
As the days change, visibility changes as well. When it is night in the game the player can only see the oncoming cars' headlights. As the days progress, cars will become more difficult to avoid as well.
Roadbuster
In Enduro, If a player succeeded to race five days or more, an on-screen racing trophy would pop-up on the screen. If they sent a picture of this to Activision, they would receive a patch declaring them an "Activision Roadbuster".
