GROMBI FACT DROPREAL-WORLD TRIVIA
A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Stunt Dirt Bike sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. A top Formula 1 tyre stop can happen in under two seconds; McLaren set a 1.80-second pit-stop record. That is only half the story. In 1958, Tennis for Two used an analog computer and an oscilloscope to turn simple physics into a playable tennis-like demonstration. The screen is modern; the urge to test skill, pattern and timing definitely is not.
GAME BRIEFDRIVING & RACING
What you are getting into
Stunt Bike Driver is a racing game. Put your dirt bike skills to the test by making it through each short obstacle course as quickly as possible and without wiping out in this 2D game. These trials of skill will certainly put your dirt bike or ATV skills to the test. In theory, it’s simple—make it from one side of the screen to the other, but this is certainly something that’s easier said than done. What kind of obstacle course would it be if there were no obstacles, and there are obstacles-a-plenty. And as the old tortoise taught us, sometimes to win a race, it’s better to go slow than fast, especially when going fast will send you tumbling over an obstacle and onto your head.
