I think there is an upcoming one, but I forget the name. It looked like Pacific Drive with a bike.
Trials Evolution would like a word
All games are equal, but some games are more equal than others.
Excitebike, too! The built-in level editor was really amazing.
I was so excited when this came out on Wii! I need to set my Wii up again play it more.
I never had an NES as a kid, but my best friend did, and we spent hours playing excite bike. It was such a great game.
Now that is a name I have not heard in a long time.
I saw something within the past year or so that looked like a new version of Paperboy and I got excited but then it turned out it wasn’t and I was disappointed.
I was cleaning out my garage a few weeks ago and came across my old Commodore 64 Paperboy floppy.

We have Road Rash. What more could you want?
I don’t know, Tour de France (1983) on Vectrex looks nice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MnEOLIaBl0Lots of dead birds/banana peels/whatever on the ground. The Tour de France is an internationally televised event! Do some track prep, folks!
Bully? Would love a sequel/reboot.
Am I a joke to you!?
I want recs for a fun unicycle game
Uniracers was pretty fun. It was made by the team that went on to create GTA.
Ctrl+F for “Descenders” came up empty. I think that’s the author’s issue.
Just tried this out recently. It’s good fun. I do wish it explained itself a little better at the start - I had no idea that it was essentially a roguelite for about the first hour I played - but it gets that feeling of momentum at the edge of wiping out just right
Zwift is very popular. But you have to do the cycling yourself
Just looked at their website. Is this “game” solely populated by rich people?
All competitive cycling is
I’ll give you that.
Well, bikes are usually a lot slower…
There is Paperboy for the NES. I have that game amd it still very playable. But they are right not many of those types of games.
Walking is even slower, but there’s no lack of walking games.
I was referring mostly to the “exciting” part of the title.
The excitement of F1 racing is unattainable to most people, which is why it makes sense as a game, but bikes are pretty tame. However, one thing that makes bikes interesting is their smallness, ease and simplicity. The Yakuza series has started picking up on giving protagonists such small vehicles, including a skateboard and a segway, and they make much more sense within those worlds than full vehicles.
I feel like this could be envisioned as part of a larger open-world game, not as the vehicle itself as a means to fun. Something like: You have an open world game, and it has cars, and they are faster than your bike. But they are far more nimble, can go in tighter areas, and can be stored in larger vehicles used to get around. So, something like picking the Gravity Gun in Half-Life 2, they’re a tool that’s fantastic for making use of the environment for better results, but not a “first-order strategy for movement”. This is even sometimes how they work out in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Yeah bikes were really useless in GTA V because even the narrowest alleyway could be driven down. Hopefully they have some narrow alleyways that you might be able to skip down to avoid the police.
Road cycling is a rich persons sport, gaming is circuses for us poors.
No one wants to play ‘tour de riche’
A /decent/ Downhill game could be good (Descenders wasn’t it., super wide mariokart-esque tracks - give me some goat tracks that need berms on the corners)
