Number four in the six-time appearance list, the game was strangely never reviewed at any point in Amiga Power, not even in the games directory at the back of the magazine. Still, this arcade port was able to 'hang on' to its place in the list quite admirably (sorry).
In this motorcycle racer, you have a choice of four continents of varying difficulty, with a different amount of stages in each. It's not a racing game per se, as you are only racing against the clock rather than against other drivers. You have a turbo button to add speed during straights, but careful control are essential to staying on your bike to the end.
The usual caveat with coin-op conversions applies, in that nowadays you'd be far better off booting up MAME than trying to play this, but it should still be recognised as a great port that was clearly well liked for years after release by Amiga fans.
