BMX Simulator is an overhead race game similar to the arcade video game Super Sprint. The player must race against another player, or the computer, around a series of seven different bicycle motocross (BMX) tracks. There is also a time limit to be beaten. Only two cyclists can compete in each race. The race can be viewed in slow-motion instant replay afterward.

Reception

[edit | edit source]

Sinclair User called it "a classy conversion from the Commodore original"[6] and a "full price game in budget clothing".[7]

ZX Computing said it was fun from start to finish, and rated it a Monster Hit.[8]

The game sold 345,423 copies.[1]

Legacy
