Made in 1991, by Microids , this game doesn't represent anything special, but if you still want to find out something about the game - then read on.

Before you start playing, you can choose between cga, ega and vga graphics. Unless you want to destroy your eyes choose ega or vga, or start the game from the gpv.exe file. After that you can choose to play with sound. (I was not able to get the sound working in dosbox). If you have a SB soundcard, use it. Others should try to avoid sound unless they want to hear the annoying pc speakers. Now you come to the menu which is boringly colored. Here you can choose the AI level, number of players, the control device - keyboard or joystick (which I wasn't able to run). Unfortunately the controls are predefined so you can't change them.

After you've decided you can choose between four bikes, and the only difference between them is color. You can choose between 12 different tracks in the game, some of them are well known (like Suzuka, Silverstone). There are three play modes supported in the game - training, race and championship. The graphics in the game are OK, but it becomes repetitive - so does the game, which has a lot of bugs. So it can happen that your opponents float in the air, or pass through each other etc. One of the bigger stupidities of the game is that you can't see the number of laps that you've passed. If you play alone the game is too easy. Even on the hardest difficulty I left my opponents by half a lap, and believe me I'm no Michael Schumacher. The good thing in the game is the ability to play with another human (splitscreen), and compatibility with WinXP.

Overall this is one of those games that are fun - for 20 minutes, and then it becomes dull. If you don't have anything better to do and you have a friend near you, download the game. If not, you should avoid it, there are better things to play.
