The enemy has positioned a series of bridges across the river to ensure a supply line. Your orders are to destroy those bridges, and demolish choppers, tankers, and jets that patrol along the waterway. As you advance, the canyon narrows and the enemy gets smarter. Stay alert, the enemy never sleeps. And any mistake you make could be your very last. River Raid. Can you make it?

Description from Intellivision catalog

Activision's high-flying battle adventure is ready for action! Pilot your jet over the River Of No Return while blowing up enemy bridges and escaping jets, choppers, tanks and ships that wait at each endless turn of the river. Remember: the farther you fight your way in, the narrower the channel becomes, and the chances to refuel get slimmer and slimmer.
