I remember as a kid grown-ups would straddle the beast and turn with ease. There were a couple of variations of the machine but hands down the best one was the full-size bike you could sit on that has a built-in monitor in the visor. The ultimate motorbike game for someone not into motorbikes but into motorbike games was Super Hang-On. You could even upgrade your bike and not once did it overheat. You could punch and kick opponents – even hit them with a chain or bat. The camera view was different as it was third-person and the tracks were seemingly endless and just so ‘life-like’. It was a console game primarily but I had it on my trusty Amiga 500 and it was proper good. The next best thing, I believe, would have been Road Rash.
Unless you were rich and had a joystick and gold plated taps in your bathroom. It was a lot more exciting but had fewer colours and was played with the keyboard. I suppose the closest was Ninja Scooter on the Spectrum. There are far better motorbike games, but they never existed back then. Plus the glasses I didn’t wear steamed up. I don’t know why I was so bad but my thumbs weren’t big enough for the two buttons. From memory, I think I got to the second track once.
NES games though were impossible for mortals like me. That’s not a scientific fact but in terms of being a kid impatiently waiting to play a game, it was welcomed witchcraft. The NES had so much more colour than the Spectrum and it booted up in a 1/3 of the time. Safety first.Įxcitebike is a part of my nostalgic gaming library where I was dazzled by the graphics. It does keep the bike temperature down though. It’s a bit of a health and safety issue really as these are professional riders – including a chef – that are racing to the finish but having to avoid these unsightly stains that cause them to slow down. In classic ’80’s style gaming, it’s a side scroller and conveniently you do laps without having to turn other than navigate the four lanes, should there be oil patches on the track. Your job is to keep your bike within a sustainable temperature without burning a hole in your scrote, whilst also jumping an assortment of jumps that are quite pointy. The trouble with Excitebike is your wheels are rubbish. Finish in 3rd or better and get sent to track 3 (but counts as track 5 for achievements).Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit – A New Franchise? Finish in 3rd or better and get sent to track 2 again (but counts as track 4 for achievements). Finish in 3rd or better and get sent to track 2 (but counts as track 3 for achievements). Finish in 3rd or better and get sent to track 1 again (but counts as track 2 for achievements). So you could start on track 1, play 4 tracks in a row, and end up on track 3 but get credit for track 5 because the achievements don't differentiate between starting on track 5 or getting all the way to "track 5" from track 1 (which will actually be track 3). Also, as others have said, the wheelie achievement triggers whenever you finish a race.ĮDIT2: It appears that when you challenge the "next track" after coming in at least 3rd on a track, you play the exact same track again. Which tracks count for the achievement? Both?ĮDIT: I selected track 2 from the menu and it is exactly the same as if you progress to "track 3" starting from 1. But if I select track 2 from the menu it's a completely different track. I placed 1st on track 1 and it brought me to the "next track".
