Need help remembering racing game

PZelda · 04-27-2005, 08:21 PM

Hi guys,

Last year you guys helped me remember the name of a NES game, which turned out to be "Super Cars." This time, I come forth to ask for help remembering the name of yet ANOTHER racing game...

I am not positive if this was towards the end of SNES's reign or at the beginning of the reign of the N64. One thing for sure - it was DEFINITELY in 3-D...Choppy-looking 3-D, if you will, since it was a new thing at the time.

It was a motocross-type game that appealed to the whole family (the vehicles were comic-looking) and I very distinctly remember one of them being a...moped? Moped, yup. It was green, blue and white. You got like 4 different views, and if you were on a certain track, you could make the view so that the vehicles were practically dots on the track. I really want to say it was for the SNES...I was soooooo addicted to this game in the mid- to late 90's and I LOVED playing the moped. Now I can't remember what it was! Augh!

Anyone?

My first thought was of Stunt Race FX, but that was for the SNES and (I think) didn't have bikes, but did use that SuperFX chip that made that used pseudo-3D rendering. There's also Excitebike 64, which has dirt bikes, but it was pretty smooth as I recall and wasn't an early release. Those are the only two I can think of that are almost close to what you were describing; I guess you should wait for someone who's more into racing games ^.^()

STUNT RACE FX!!!!! THAT'S IT! Thank you! I'm pretty sure there was a moped or some kind of two-wheeler in there somewhere...a bonus vehicle, if ya will. Maybe I'm just crazy. [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

This was the one I was referring to...it's really a 3-wheeler, but close enough. That was my fave one to steer.

Tee hee~... I guess I've justified to myself playing way too much games in my childhood.

[img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img] I did too...But sadly, I have not played my SNES in soooo long. I have a crappy collection, and I'm looking to expand by buying old games on eBay. I wanted to remember, because I'm going to buy myself a copy from there.

Ta-da! Brought myself a copy off there just this morning...If it were not for you, I'd be pulling out my hair. [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img] Thanks again!

No problem. It feels good to help, especially if it doesn't involve lifting heavy objects. [img]smile.gif[/img]
