Speed King II is, apart from being the sequel to the successful Speed King motorbike racing game, two games in one.

In the first game you race against nineteen other riders on any of nine famous tracks including Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Anderstorp (Sweden) and Monza (Italy). You obviously haven't been very good in practice as you always start the race in last position with the whole field to beat.

Still, you can accelerate up to a maximum speed of 192 mph, which is fine for passing other bikes along the straights, but not good for taking corners. It *can* be done - if you're in the right position on the smooth scrolling track, but if not you'll spin off the track, lose all your acceleration *and* valuable time and race position as the others stream past you. At the end of the race you get the result, your best position, lap time and the record time you need to beat.

That's not all on this amazing budget game, as you can also race another player in a head-to-head race on a pitstop-style split screen display. Two games for the price of one. Not bad, eh?
