Atari 800 XL - Action Biker

[daracenak]

I always got bored playing this game and it was because I was 6 years old by then. It was too difficult for my age, and I didn´t understand the whole creativity on it :)

[ColibriMONOPOL]

I played this game so much, as the video started I pressed Space Bar, lol

[CDLancs]

i had this it was tied in to skips crisps clumsy colin. Happy days

[nexgenhippy]

my mate barry was a master at this game he drew himself a map with all the collection points on it. i went into his house one day just in time to see him win the drag race at the end (again lol )

I wasted like weeks of my childhood playing this!

[kinnikuchu]

@Barry3443 Just like me. It was so difficult to get on those ramps, I was fall >__<

Yet another Atari 8-bit game that I had that, after waiting about 15 minutes for the fucker to load, I could get absolutely fucking nowhere with.

[furQ]

rock hard! also I now want some skips :)

[DAZCTENBY]

Used to play this for hours on atari 800xl, had something to do with skips crisps on the front of the cassette?

[piglet2k]

Quite right, it did have something to do with skips crisps, could never figure out the plot of the game though...

[bigpoopie69]

I used to play this game for hours until I discovered masterbation.

[bentsimon]

No, this was made by mastertronic

;-)

[simplyeighties]

Blimey! I'd forgotten about this! Quite difficult to play if I remember rightly?

[GamesEmotions]

yes it was :)

[wesmatron]

@simplyeighties It was. Not as bad as 'Stunt Car Racer' though!

[raffa159]

Fuck me... I remember playing this on my Atari 65XE, jesus christ 1988

[reverendcutterx]

What a bitch to load off tape. When I finally got it loaded I didn't turn it off for days until I'd mapped and completed the thing. Great game though. Music must have driven my parents insane.

[lemonjiffy]

I hated it when the flashing things were high up, wow and when you'd get turbo power, too tempting to floor it and see how long ya last b4 you crashed!

[KaitainCPS]

I think this was one of Rob Hubbard's earliest efforts. He went on to do most of the C64's greatest music tracks, e.g. Sanxion, One Man and His Droid, Thrust, Monty on the Run, Master of Magic etc.

[atk502]

this is too cool. i loved this game on C64!

[davidvandayscousin]

Did anyone actually get to the race in this game? On the back of the box it showed screen shots of being in the race.....but those items never stopped appearing!!!!

....still....fond memories :P

[jarbenitez]

Yes mate I got to the end of this game but only because of the cheat which my friends mum at the time did, this was on the commodore 64 version, the cheat meant the bike was indestructable could go over water an through the fences, the race was over rated at the end but once this was the one there was not much point playing from then :-(

[timewaster72]

I liked this game but music is a bit drunk lol.

[odislaw]

very cool game, only an ending of this game was poor, only some inscriptions..

[munnsey]

One of the best of the budget titles! I remember the first time i discovered the roller coaster ramps!

[NotQuarex]

I collected all 100 items one, exactly one, time. Then, after what seemed like the entire day of my life wasted to accomplish this feat, the game of course forces you to perform one final task -- getting to the starting line on time for the Big Race to begin. Just as I was about to get to the start of the line, I "ran out of time," and lost. I never played Action Biker again.

[mistapaul]

well worth £1.99

[rainxxxx]

[GamesEmotions]

[StaxX28]
