It was a little chunky on my P200MMX/32mg/3Dfx system. Decent looking though. If the frame rate was better, it'd probably be the best superbike sim out there. I imagine a 233/266mHz would do it.

Colin wrote I don't think the title is already out, but you can find a demo of it at most of the popular *** sites on the Internet. Very good it is. Yes it's the first Motorcycle simulator on the market. We don't know much about the product (Interactive is not speaking, and thinks they can sell a product by doing this <g>). But from the demo it's simulator. I think the tracks are unreal also. Maybe check out Interactive's website.

I tried the demo, graphics were very good, sounds good, but overall it's no sim. Bikes lean and move very realisticly but are too easy to ride. unlike real bikes these bikes willl forgive almost every mistake the rider makes. Bottom line is it's a fun arcade game, but if your looking for a sim stick with the car games. -- Kevin Anderson ICQ # 6769389 Oscar FB Div. 10 >Can anybody tell me anything about this title? >I read a mini review in a UK newspaper yesterday, and also remember >seeing some >rather good screenshots in the latest issue of PCZone (UK) >Review is very short but says you need P200+ and that the software >supports 3dfx cards, >released on PC/CD-ROM. >This of course is a Motorcycle simulation ( I hope....I also hope it is >not arcade ) >and it is supposedly released by Interactive, of whom I could find no >information on the Net? >I hope someone can tell me some more about this game, I have been >longing for an accurate >Superbike simulation for a long time, and I kinda hope this one fits the >bill. >Thanks for any reply's, >Colin.......
Maybe it's just in the easiest mode for the demo? It sure would be exciting if someone *would* attempt to create a real twitchy and difficult moto sim!
