MOTO RACER is an arcade simulation of motorbike racing offering two basic racing types – superbikes and motocross.
With superbike racing you’ll be speeding around city tracks, zooming past English villages and castles, through tunnels, even along the Great Wall of China, and always at awesome speeds. Just to make it interesting, there will be 24 other riders trying to get past you.

In motocross the action isn’t all just speed thrills. This is where you get down and dirty! You might be racing in a dirt-track arena, or through a snowy canyon, so you’ll have to get used to power-sliding very quickly. There are numerous jumps, and you can do all sorts of tricks as you fly through the air. How about doing a quick handstand before you land?

The graphics in Moto Racer are simply superb. I know I’m still getting used to my Righteous 3D card with it’s 3Dfx graphics chip, and soon all the best games will look like this, but even so the graphics are easily as good as a console. I’m running it on a Pentium 166MMX, and it as smooth and fast as you could want, even at top graphic detail. The scenery is awesome, especially the background mountains along the Great Wall track. The bikes and riders are incredible too. As you go round a sweeping bend on a motocross track you’ll see the rider put out his leg and lean into the turn, leaving long skid marks in the dirt.
