Reviews for BMX Racers (#605)

Review by The Dean of Games on 25 Jul 2011 (Rating: 2)

1984 Mastertronic (UK)

This brings me back some nice memories, but that's all.
Mastertronic managed to market this game with the suggestion of a BMX Race, just look at the name and cassette cover. That's called misleading advertising, Mastertronic!!

According to a magazine article, it was easily sold to gullible teenage boys (like me) who liked the word BMX in the title. Really?
A very poor game with no real appeal.
but I still give it a 2 just for the sweet memories and bits of humour.

An early budget game which has aged quite badly. But I did enjoy playing this at the time.
It is crude. Just "racing" your tiny flickery stick-BMX up one straight road, whilst avoiding obstacles. But this is what you got for £1.99 in 1984, and it has some great humorous touches.
