Driving games used to be about cars, but motorbikes seem to be taking over.

This game has you on a bike, trying to complete a course marked out on the screen by two rows of tyres.

Above the horizon, mountains and scenery float past as first demonstrated by Enduro Racer on the Atari.

At the top of the screen, a large set of handlebars contain all the various dials which give details of your speed and revs.

But while all this is happening, there's not much action going on. The graphics which make up the bike and its rider aren't too hot, and there's no scenery or signposts which go past as you ride round. Pole Position on two wheels this certainly isn't.

If you hit a tyre, you fly off the machine and land in the road. Careful use of the joystick can usually get you going again, but sometimes I found this impossible. If you crash just behind a tyre then, whatever you do, you'll always hit it again when you try to get up.

There are six different levels in the game. On some, the track is narrower than others. Also, you can decide whether you wish to ride alone or have other bikes on the track to chase.

Graphics are smooth, if nothing else, and sound is good. The engine sounds are realistic and the little man who comes on to wave the starting flag is cute. There's also a horrible squelching sound when you hit a tyre.

A reasonable buy, but nothing special.
