[NOTE:] This game does not return to
LOADSTAR.
From the creator of KING'S RANSOM
comes SUPERBIKE, an arcade-style,
smash-'em-up, fast-paced game with
four tough courses for you to race on
your dirt-bike.
Of course each four-course event
is unique -- and the key to winning
each race is becoming familiar with
each course, knowing where sharp turns
and traps are. But you've got to have
enough NERVE to burn the rubber.
Remember, this IS a race.
There are four different events,
each with four courses. The events
are: MOTO-CROSS, ENDURO, SUPER-CROSS
and TRIALS. MOTO-CROSS is the first
and easiest event. TRIALS is the most
difficult.
In this game you're constantly
moving foward. Use a joystick in port
2 to veer left or right to avoid
obstacles. The fire button will pour
on the speed. Pulling back the
joystick will cause you to ride a
"wheelie", which increases your speed
and jumping ability.
--------------------------------------
C O M M A N D S U M M A R Y
--------------------------------------
JOY LEFT - move left
JOY RIGHT - move right
JOY BACK - wheelie
JOY FORWARD - end wheelie
FIRE BUTTON - accelerate
JUMPING is ONLY accomplished by
driving over the blue ramps located
here and there on the course.
SPACE pauses the game.
FIRE restarts the game.
RESTORE resets the game.
O B S T A C L E S
Basically, every other object on
the course, including other bikes, can
cause you to crash, so you must avoid
them. In some places thick bushes grow
in the road. You must move around
these bushes or jump over them using a
ramp. Remember that you jump farther
when you pull back on the joystick and
wheelie up the ramp. Also remember
that you must already be riding a
wheelie if you want to clear a great
distance on a ramp. Sometimes you'll
want to jump far, sometimes not.
R A M P S
Ramps are blue. If you drive over
them, you will become airborne. You
won't fall -- unless you land on an
obstacle. If you're riding a wheelie,
you'll jump much farther, sometimes
clearing an obstacle that was too wide
to ride around anyway.
B U M P S
Watch out for BUMPS. You have to
either avoid them or ride SLOWLY over
them. These bumps look like brown ribs
in the road.
ROCKS, TREES AND TIRES IN THE ROAD
These must be avoided. Either you
must ride around them or jump over
them -- IF there's a ramp in front of
them.
LOGS AND WATER HOLES IN THE ROAD
LOGS and WATER HOLES must be
ridden over slowly AND on a WHEELIE.
That's the only way through them --
unless you can jump them from a blue
ramp.
H I N T S
You have to play the game enough
to learn the pitfalls. You'll only be
allowed so many crashes so you'll have
to be careful to avoid them. You must
place at least fifth in order to
advance to the next course. If you
keep crashing, you won't finish the
course and you won't place at all.
This game is more fun than it
appears at first. Give it fifteen
minutes and you'll be mouthing curses
and pressing the RESTORE key for "one
more game".
For reasons too numerous to
mention, SUPERBIKE doesn't return to
LOADSTAR. You must reset your
computer and reboot "star".
