BMX Simulator - WS Commodore 64 game

BMX riding has become a major craze in recent years, with BMX songs, films, books, comics, and clothing all celebrating the sport. Now, Code Masters has brought BMX to your computer screen with BMX Simulator. For just £1.99, you can experience the thrill of BMX racing from the comfort of your home.

BMX Simulator offers seven increasingly difficult courses and a two-player option, making it an ideal choice for both solo and competitive gaming. The top-down view of each track showcases ramps, berms, bumps, and other obstacles that challenge your BMX skills.

To start a race, two cyclists stand on the starting ramp, and a countdown marks the beginning of the race. You control your BMX by holding down the fire button to pedal and releasing it to brake. The joystick helps you steer your bike. Your goal is to complete three laps within a time limit. If you succeed, you receive a score, with faster completion times yielding higher scores.

One standout feature is the "action replay" function, which allows you to relive the most intense moments of your races. The game is graphically competent, with attractive backgrounds, though the sprites are a bit lacking. The music and sound effects are well done, adding to the overall experience.

BMX Simulator's simplicity, variety, and playability make it a great budget racing game. It's a fantastic value at just £1.99, and as far as budget titles go, it's one of the best. If you're a BMX enthusiast or simply looking for an enjoyable gaming experience, BMX Simulator is well worth trying out. So, grab your joystick or use the keys and get ready to race through seven challenging courses!
