Long before Excite Truck for Wii, there was Excitebike for NES; a wheelie-popin', mud-flingin', side-scrollin' motocross masterpiece.  Roar across the dirt and take down rival riders to claim victory in the main event, or design your own monster motocross track to race on!  Chose to either play alone and practise your techniques, or race against computer-controlled rivals in a thrilling Challenge race to qualify for the prestigious Excitebike Championship.  Hit the turbo just before a jump to send your bike soaring but make sure to adjust your landing angle or you'll end up eating dirt.  If opponents get in your way, sideswipe them with your back wheel to make them spin out.  Excitebike's high-octane racing and high-flying hurdles make it an enduring, crow-pleasing classic.

The roar of the engines. The whistle of the air. The looming death of those big ass jumps...

 

Yeah, Excitebike is indeed pretty cool. I'd never played it the first time round, so when it was released I decided to download it to try it out. It's a fun little game to waste some time on, and is pretty easy to get the hang of after a while.

However, it's getting a bit dated nowadays, and the graphics and sound quality are kinda meh.

 

But overall, it's a good little game that's worth a download if you're into its latest reincarnation...Excite Truck.

 It's not really anything special anymore. I downloaded it with some spare points I had a while back and have probably played it twice. It's fun for about five minutes, but you're best saving your points for Mario!
