ChinnyVision: Motorbike Madness

[chinnyhill10]

Glider Rider meets Kickstart 2. An isometric budget motorbike scramble game that on the CPC came on the same tape as the Spectrum version.


Certainly looks like BLD reused some of the Glider Rider graphical assets for this. Aside from the CPC version the PC version looks quite interesting as the graphics have been ported from the 8 bits and show what the CPC version would look like with a bit more speed.

A disappointing game when I purchased it at the time and still rubbish today. End days for Mastertronic original titles which were starting to look tatty against Codemasters games.

What the hell? I've never seen speccy graphics on a C64 in my life. That looks awful!

Oh there's loads of games like that on the C64.


Interesting they did the isometric viewpoint for the 64. Glider Rider gave Binary Design such headaches that when they did Amourote they avoided isometric for the C64 in favour of a top down view
