Action Biker (C64)


Guest

1,248 views

Action Biker is a quirky, interesting Commodore game that has been largely overlooked. Released in the UK by Mastertronic (famous for their "two quid" pricing), the game puts you in the shoes of a motorbiker in the middle of a small town. The game has a GTA feel to it; you can basically do anything you want, including riding around a roller coaster and trying to manage your way on top of a building scaffolding. Although the map is not too large, it wraps around, meaning you can ride on the same road for quite a while before your fuel runs out. The isometric graphics do a great job of properly conveying the game mechanics. The game itself is easily downloadable these days, so there's no reason to try it out; be sure to check "Under The Radar" for Action Biker.This title screen is from an earlier release...post-6036-1103340492.gifand this is from a later one. The game is also called "Clumsy Colin" due to this title screen.lanna.zipHere's a screenshot from the original...lanna.zipand this is a screenshot from a fanmade re-release, Action Biker '99. Notice the changes (especially the updated HUD).

This game sounds interesting.  Especially for a Commodore game!

It is a very interesting and fun game; even though it has that GTA unstructured "feel" to it, you still have one major goal to do, and that is to get a high score. Every crazy stunt you do will net you points, whether you ride on the scaffolding or try the timed drag races. Definitely a fun game. (and by the way, I like the Eternal Champions avatar! Larcen kicks ass! :) )
