A BMX game

Post by Enkil »

With the great help I got last time, I decided to try again:

Now, I'm not sure if I played this on PC or C-64, but it was a really cool BMX game, arcade style. The thing I remember I liked about this game was the fact that you could build your own levels, with ramps and so.

Any clues?

Thanks, :)

Possibly Excite Bike. It was out for NES, but was so good it probably sparked a few ports.

Hmmm...I'm looking at the some screenshots of Excite Bike right now, and it doesn't really look like the BMX game I used to play. The style is the same, but not the gfx. The BMX was bigger kinda, and so was the guy on it. I also remember the levels being more 'insane', with big ramps and loops...

I think there was a BMX level in California Games (or CF Games II)

But you can't build your own levels in California Games, can you?

It is probably ElastoMania ... although that game apparently used to be called "Action Supercross". At one time Action Supercross was available on dosgames.com but I guess it disappeared from the 'net for awhile before being reborn as ElastoMania.

For those interested, you can download ElastoMania from:

http://www.elastomania.com

And Action Supercross, the older version of ElastoMania, can be downloaded from:

Thanx guys, your help is greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to download California games, but can't seem to find it, any idea where I could download this game for free? Which one was the one with the BMX section? 1 or 2?

It was surely an EGA game Wally, If you have any suggestions, please any wellcome, I'm starting to give up now... I remember California games, but I don't think it was that, California Games had a BMX stage, where as I remember this game to be sort of a BMX game only though. :laugh:

oh man, I started playing Elma... it starts off really stupid and you're asking yourself why you would want to play it... then like 2 hours later you realize that it's actually fun :laugh: I recommend everybody to get this. The demo is only 15 levels, but you can make your own and download others off the internet... just make sure that if you DO dl levels, they will work in the demo version. The first 15 levels should keep you busy for a while though. You can also play hotseat multiplayer in any of the 15 levels too!
