Recommendations for Moto-x games? (DC, PS, Saturn, or N64)

Post by neilencio »

I recently convinced my 60-year old father, who used to be a motocross rider (wasn't THAT good, only won in a couple of regional competitions, but he's my dad so he's still the best) to pick up the controllers/pads/keys and try out some games.

On the Wii, he hated Yamaha Supercross, primarily because he says it doesn't control like a real motorcycle should. He also complains that it would have been better if it can be controlled like the car game (he's talking about Mario Kart, he liked the way he can treat the wii mote as a steering wheel. Whereas Yamaha Supercross can only be controlled with a nunchuk+wiimote combo. No motion control whatsoever, which kind of makes me wonder why they chose to make it for the Wii. )

On the PSX he also didn't like motocross 2001, due to what he claims as "unrealistic reactions".

Any recommendations for Motocross games that my father would probably enjoy based on his complaints?

Off the top of my head, he liked the following:

Excite Bike for the NES.
Motocross Madness for the PC
and MX VS ATV for the PC.

I prefer something on the consoles (DreamCast or older) so that I don't have to let him borrow my PC (my father's netbook is not really for gaming.)

Not MotoCross, but if your Dad liked Mario Kart Wii, he'll probably like Excite Truck.

Hmm. . . seems like he might like a sim better. I wouldn't expect any of those systems besides the dreamcast to have anything even slightly realistic, and I don't remember any motorcycle games for the dreamcast (I'm sure there were some. Maybe check out http://dreamcast.ign.com/ for reviews)

Tourist Trophy for the PS2 might be what he's looking for. It's basically Gran Turismo with bikes, and it's made by the same dev.

I don't know if it covers motocross though.
