Stunt Cycle by Atari

for me, having fun with a classic game is all about enjoying its simplicity, and stunt cycle is a very simple game. after plugging in the stand-alone peripheral, you have 4 game options: Stunt Cycle, Drag Race, Motocross and Enduro. Stunt Cycle mode presents you with three lines on screen (each line bleeds in to the next, allowing for a longer track), the first two allow you to adjust and perfect you speed, once you reach the third line you hit the ramp and jump the buses! now, if you're going too fast you'll fly right off screen and lose points, but if you hit it at just the right speed you'll land perfectly on the other side of the buses. each successful land adds another bus to your jump. in Drag Race you have three lines and a timer on top of the screen, you're only goal is to shoot for the fastest time, in order to do this, you must perfect the art of switching gears by letting off the throttle, this will perform a wheely/gear shift. In Motocross (my favorite out of all the games), you're presented with the standard three lines, only this time a block appears in the middle of each line, in order to cross them you have to perform a wheely, me and some friends had a blast perfecting our times. you'll have to forgive me because i can't quite remember the object of Enduro. all of the games offer two difficulty options (AM/PRO). Overall, everything is very fast paced and a lot of fun.

unfortunately, fun like this doesn't come cheap. when i asked scott how much he paid, he reluctantly replied "sixty bucks". blake and i quickly reassured him "thats how much most new games cost". more pictures of Stunt Cycle can be found at the official robot gamer BubbleShare Account.
