Does anyone know of any MC sims that are available, if not, any rumors of
impending development? There must be enough interest for a GP styled sim
or perhaps the ultimate race known, The Isle of Man. Al.

If I remember correctly, last year Microprose announced they would be
doing a BIKE sim based on the engine of gp2...now I'm not so sure
there will be any but one can hope....

more arcade style but still quite fun

Accolade's " Cyclemania "  is worth buying.  It's no sim,  but it's  not
arcadish and it is good fun.  Not much else to choose from.

Cyclemania really kinda sux though.  The graphics are too "2D" and
gameplay grown tireing after a SHORT time.  Its a sahme that there
dosen't exist a  cycle SIM.  That would be Joe for sure!

I'd also like to see one. It doesn't seem like it would be much work
for a company that has a racing sim (i.e., GP2, Nascar, or even Need
For Speed). They'd need to write the cycle simulation code, a little
bit of new graphics for bikes instead of cars, and that's it!

In fact, I'd *prefer* that a motorcycle sim was based on a current
driving sim - it would be fun to try a fast bike on the same roads
you'd driven a race car.

If any developer needs a hint - here's a whole genre that's never been
touched in the capacity of a real sim.

You are compleately right, there arent good bike simulators.
I heard Microprose was going to do one after Gp2 but as it took so
much time to release it, they forgot about the bike game.

I love bikes and I hope I can see a good bike sim soon and not the
arcade (and not very good arcade) Road Rash.

I'd personally like to see a Motocross Sim ... I used to go nuts over
Nintendo's E***-A-Bike - and it was only a cheesy 2-d arcade racer ...

Imagine how good one could look today!

I think EA had one out for the Amiga some years back.  Called
something like Speed Zone perhaps.

Anyway, it looked great...the bike tilted using the mouse and
everything, but the control stunk.  I always wished it would have been
better, becuase the way they had rendered the bike going through high
speed turns looked great.

See ya, Joe

There is a Sony playstation game coming out in November called
Motocross FX (I think).  The screen shots in the magazines looked
great.  I also read somewhere that this Christmas there will be a Sony
game featuring 250cc champ Jeremy McGrath.  It will have both
supercross and motocross tracks and many of the actual sponsors.

I think the game you are talking about is called VMX-Racing and it is from
Playmates Interactive.
It is going to be released on on multiple formats in December. Playstation and
PC at least.
The PC version will include networkplay.

Take a look at the nice pictures at

          If I'm not mistaken, the Japanese version has already been
released, and supposedly, it isn't very good at all.  I hope I'm
mistaken, but a few people who have played the import have advised
me to steer well clear of this title.  Perhaps they'll fix it up for
the U.S. release?

Yes, I agree 100%!  There is actually a motocross game out for the
PC called Motocross.  The only problem is that is was made in 1988
or 1989 and is in EGA graphics...  But that is the game the made
me buy my first IBM computer, so I have a soft spot for it ;)

If any motor sim creators are listening, PLEASE consider making
an updated motocross game, one where you can create your own
tracks hopefully.
