6 Cool Dendy Motorcycle Games We Could Play for Hours (16 Photos)

Hundreds of games were released on the iconic 8-bit Dendy console, among which there were toys in the heat of the "Race". But here are the games there were not so many motorcycles on the 8-bit console. Therefore, today I would like to recall some cool 8-bit games about motorcycles.





exit bike



The game "Exite Bike" was released in 1984 and became one of the first which basically appeared on the 8-bit "NES" platform. By her own The game is an arcade motorcycle racing game. True, the goal is here does not consist at all in overtaking rivals, but in coming to the finish line for certain time. If you meet the required time, you will take first place. In other cases, your place will be already lower.

While driving, you will now and then come across a variety of trampolines and obstacles. Obstacles are aimed at slowing down you, while trampolines can, on the contrary, help you buy time. The main thing is to work with them correctly, otherwise you can fall and also lose extra time.





Among other things, you can use a special turbo mode, thanks to which your speed will become noticeably higher. True, you need to follow the indicator, otherwise, due to overheating of the motor, you lose a couple of seconds of extra time.

Well, for creative people in the game there is a map editor, which allows you to create your own dream track with jumps and obstacles.

This game is often seen in multiplayer games, but despite its simplicity, it could drag young gamers for a long time end of the 20th century.

Stunts Kids



"Stunts Kids" is a fun stunt riding game. motorcycles from Codemasters. We are given control of a young motorcyclist on his faithful "iron horse". Our goal is to overtake an opponent who is driving on exactly the same track, but not at the same time us, so during the check-in, he will not interfere with us. Need a rival only so that we can see how far ahead or behind him we are we are.

The game is very fun, but at the same time difficult to play. newcomer, because if our hero runs into an obstacle, his the motorcycle immediately falls apart, because of which we lose extra time.


Therefore, in order to overtake an opponent, we must not only go fast, but also jump at the right moments so as not to run into something or other obstacle, of which there will be a lot in the game.

And in order to normally drive this or that route, you have to practice for a while, as at first you will run into every second obstacle.

But if you don't want to be humiliated by the computer, then invite a friend to play together. Then both of you will fight about obstacles, now and then losing his motorcycle. It won't be so embarrassing.

Motocross Champion



The game "Motocross Champion" is a kind of advanced version of the game "Exite bike". We also have to ride a motorcycle, jumping over various trampolines.

But unlike the same "Exite bike", the tracks here are not are straight. That is, we now and then have to turn in one direction or another. the other side. Moreover, this must be done as technically as possible, so as not to crash into the wall and not lose too much time.



At first, the game may even seem a bit difficult, but in as a result, you quickly get used to it, and after a few laps you will be able to learn the track by heart and fit perfectly into all the turns.

The game has two modes: practice and tournament. During practice you have to drive alone, study the track and try to pass it as as quickly as possible. Well, in tournament mode you have to race with 4 rivals. And this is already somewhat more difficult. The point is that if you collide with an opponent, then you will fall off the motorcycle and lose precious time. Therefore, you need to try to go around your enemies.



Well, in case of successful completion of the route, you will receive password, thanks to which you can return to your achievement in any moment.

rally bike

"Rally bike" is top view motorcycle racing. Us you have to drive along the US highways, overtaking your rivals. And at the beginning everything seems to be easy, if not for one BUT. If the player crashes into your opponent or an obstacle (whether it be a wall, a tree or some car), he will lose a life and start the level again. Therefore, not you should always drive at maximum speed. Sometimes, especially in narrow places, it is better to drop it.

Fortunately, the game provides a system of checkpoints. That yes, if you pass the checkpoint, then in the event of your death, you start not from the very beginning, but from it.

But besides this, there is another complicator in the game, namely fuel. Yes, it can run out, so you need to visit from time to time refueling.



But in addition to complicators, the game also provides a variety of bonuses. For example, from time to time a helicopter appears, which drops some interesting "bun". And sometimes you can climb a special car that is able to ram other motorcycles.



50 opponents are provided. But your goal is not coming to the finish line first. The main thing is to pass the track. True than the best the place you take at the end of the track, the better it will be for you.

Zippy race



"Zippy race" is another arcade game in the genre "moto racing" from above. In general, to be honest, this game is in my childhood did not come across, but when I saw her, she seemed to me very familiar. And indeed. The interface and gameplay are very reminiscent of game "Road fighter". Approximately the same tracks, cars that they interfere with us in every possible way, the fuel scale and the speedometer are on the right side, and much more.



True, there is still one strong difference from the above Road fighter. After passing the track, you will continue the game with a view from third person. The level is much shorter, but the essence is the same - to go on track and do not collide with cars.

mach rider



And of course, I will not forget the cult game "Mach rider", in which surely each of you played. Before I never thought about the plot of 8-bit games, and in fact it was present in almost every game. AND the game "Mach rider" is no exception.

According to the plot, we play as a motorcyclist from the future (2112). The whole world is practically destroyed by aliens. Our goal is to find other survivors and, in fact, a new home. But during our races, we are now and then hindered by the same aliens on ATVs. Fortunately, our motorcycle is equipped with machine guns that can easily deal with alien invaders.



But it is worth considering that alien invaders (quadrunners) separated by color. And from their color, in turn, depends on their power. For example, the purple quadrunner is the most powerful. He drives faster the rest and has some armor, due to which one hit on it won't be enough for him.

In addition to enemies, others will be waiting for you on the track. obstacles in the form of stones, oily spots and puddles. And if you run into oily stain, you can still somehow cope with the controls, then after hitting a rock your motorcycle explodes. Fortunately, the motorcyclist has several lives, so you can start from the same places.



Over time, for killing enemies, a faster and more powerful motorcycle awaits you.

Oh, how cool it was to arrange a motorcycle battle with enemies under peppy 8-bit music. A nostalgic tear rolled from my eye.

Well, if you want to plunge back into childhood and play good old 8-bit games you played on "Dendy" then I recommend that you purchase a portable 8-bit SUP console that you can play at home by connecting it to the TV, and somewhere in road. The portable set-top box already contains in its arsenal several hundreds of iconic 8-bit games. And unlike cartridges like "9999 in 1" all games are completely different.
