Excitebike
Also know as: エキサイトバイク | Ekisaitobaiku
Excitebike is a 1984 Famicom side-scrolling racing video game developed by Nintendo R&D1 and released by Nintendo in Japan on November 30, 1984. Whether the player chooses to race solo or against computer-assisted riders, he/she races against a certain time limit. The goal is to qualify for the Excitebike (the championship) race by coming in at third place or above in the challenge race (preliminary race). The times to beat are located on the stadium walls (for first place) and in the lower left corner (for third place). In any race, the best time is 8 seconds ahead of third place. When the player places first, then they get a message: "It's a new record!" Additional points are earned by beating the previously-set record time.
