Reception
Electronic Fun with Computers & Games compared Baja Buggies to Sega's Turbo and disliked the lack of support for paddle controllers.[2] In 1985, Atari Explorer called it, "the first computer program to seriously court the favor of race car fans.[3] The review also referenced Turbo.
Page 6 liked the 3D visuals: Baja Buggies special is the unique 3-D perspective as you drive toward the distant mountains. When you turn a corner, you really do turn–the mountains and sky scroll across and you feel as as if you are really in the car."[4]
