Excitebike - NES Review
This game was one of the initial launch titles for the NES way back in 1986. Most everyone has likely played this game at least once. Most people write it off as just a cutesy dirt bike racing game, but in reality, this game is one of the most technically difficult games on the console. You have to control the speed of you bike and make sure you don't overheat it. You also have to shift the weight of the bike back and forth when you jump and land. There are three modes to the game, mode A where you are racing to beat the time on each track, mode B where you race against others adding more difficulty, and track creation mode. It was pretty awesome back in 1986 that you could make your own tracks and race on them. Overall, this game gets a 8 out of 10, being almost a perfect game. If you have only played it once or twice I would definitely recommend revisiting it.
