Excitebike (Nintendo, 1985)

Good game. You need to worry about overheating, and hit the jumps at the right angle or you will fall off, and be forced to run back to your bike. To me, the game is kind of boring, but my kids love it!

Seller was very quick with payment and shipping, much appreciated. Seller also was honest with item

An instant classic! This was by far the best game on the NES console! Great track builder, hours of fun!

Excitebike is a classic and its great finding one that actually works. Always fun to play! NES games can be considered so classic that they sell very well. This game is recommended to all, if you see it listed for under 10 dollars, buy it!

also a player's must
this game is fantastic in it's simplicity and addicting in it's complexity
anyone can pick it up and be going withing a few minutes, but to truly master it takes hundreds of hours
it's got that catchiness that gets you playing again and again saying, i can do a little better this time
it's also simple enought that you could stop and leave without feeling like you had to save, doesn't steal the time like newer more involved games do
this game is a classic and easily among the top ten on the NES

Excitebike was one of the first games released for the NES in 1984 and was designed by gaming legend Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of the Mario, Donkey Kong, and The Legend of Zelda to name a few. The game is a two-dimensional motocross simulation in profile view.

The player can move between four lanes of a track, pressing the "A" button to accelerate and "B" for turbo, which may cause the bike to overheat if pressed long enough. The goal is to get a qualifying time for the Excitebike race, a championship run. Excitebike offers solo play, play against the computer intelligence, and play against another player.

Excitebike offered simple fun for a young mind, and still offers great competitive play today. Unfortunately it lacks the depth necessary to keep the attention of a modern gamer for reasons other than nostalgia. The images are flat and boring; half the screen is green and the remainder brown. There are no notable characters, a single bike to ride, and little variety in track other than where to place a particular jump, puddle, or other obstacle.

Even against competing games for the NES system Excitebike is unable to hold its own with the graphically superior R.C. Pro Am and California Games being released shortly afterward, both of which offered improved racing against friends and solo, respectively.

Excitebike was entertaining during a time when home gaming was still a relatively new concept, and the NES was gaining widespread appeal. Unfortunately the game is unlikely to hold the attention - or to even challenge - a modern gamer.

WHAT A GREAT DEAL MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN LOKKING FOR THIS GAME SINCE WE GOT AN NINETINDO FROM A FRIEND. HE WILL LOVE IT THANKS FOR DEAL

this game is great, it works great and looks brand new! was shipped fast and safely and i cant complain at all

For the year this game came out it was state of the art. Especially with the two different modes you can play. One with the other little men on the bikes and one with out. Not to mention that you can build your own tracks, which is fantastic!
Keep in mind people that when you are buying this game it is for the NES. One of the first game systems, so with that in mind graphics suck, music is slightly annoying. But you either love the old games or you don't, so if you are a fan of NES games and you like sports games then you would love this one.
If you are also looking for a sports game but not on a bike I would suggest Rad Racer.

The game is good. Has a problem playing at times but over all good game and good seller. We wanted that game and couldnt get it in a bundle so we got it seperate. The kids love it.

The game is ultimately a race against time and not necessarily your opponents. You must dodge rough dirty and balance yourself to make great lunges over ramps. This is while also trying to keep a maximum level of speed without overheating your bike. the game is very fun and never gets old.

good job dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a classic nes game, fun for all ages. We bought it because we love the game so much and sometimes it is nice to take a moment and go back to a great time from our childhood.

This is a fun game for anyone. I would recommend it to players of any age. It is for players at all skill levels!

One of the best NES games ever. This game is fun, fast-paced, and had one of the very first level editors ever packaged with a video game.
