It’s part of the glorious NES Online catalogue that is free to play with your membership. Good enough to play and catch some screenshots for this beautiful website then take back to the shop for a refund. So, is Excitebike any good? Nah, not really.

I’ve lost count how many times that has happened to me in real life. If you swayed off course and crashed, you’d explode into a ball of flames. The best bit though was how realistic it was. There were even a few actual riders who would come into the arcade with their helmet on and play. 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.
