Brutal game, and made no qualms about it. Opponents that didn't mind dying just to get you, runaway trucks, psychotic bikers, and, in the latter stages, unfairly competing against rally cars. Brilliant! And to top it off, a deadly dependency on gas, and a ridiculous small amount you got from gas stations and even more, from heli dropoffs ( with mocking pickup sound to match). What's not to love?
I've bought this game with a bunch of other Jamma PCBs and at first it didn't look too interesting... but when I finally bought a cab with a vertical screen and gave it a chance, I've discovered a little gem. Still didn't manage to get past the Denver stage, it almost seems impossible with those narrow streets and rally cars!
I missed it when Japan makes lot of games set in the U.S . Japan made tons of games that'll appeal to American gamers . Nowadays when gamers just started playing video games they ignored the Japanese games because they are anime looking characters while other games the characters look realistic and the world look realistic looking .
I've never seen arcade footage of the game, as I'm only familiar with the Nes version. I noticed they swapped some musical tracks around, and removed the Boston stage. Never saw that stage before, and I kind of wish they kept that one in there, and removed the bonus stage instead.
If they created Rally Bike Europe, it takes place in all European capitals such as Dublin, London, Libson, Madrid, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Luxembourg, and Berlin as examples.
The arcade version is superior than the NES one in four ways: 1.If you miss, you'll restart in the checkpoint when you reached. In the NES, miss means that you have to restart the stage from the beginning . 2.The arcade version has unlimited lives but if you miss, some fuel will be depleted as penalty. NES version has lives, thus making the fuel, useless (especially if you miss). 3.Arcade Version allow continues, so if you get a Game Over, you can continue in the stage where you lost. NES version doesn't, lose all your lives, your fuel or get disqualified and it's Game Over. 4.The arcade version has two ways to get a Game Over (Running out of fuel or Being Disqualified), while NES has three (mentioned above).
It's Rally Bike. An arcade game from 1988, developed by Toaplan. You're meant to ride a motorcycle through stages, with the goal of completing the stages before you run out of fuel. Make sense? Ask Google if you need more information.

If that truck speeds up to 180 mph, that must be one fast cargo truck. The Volvo Iron Knight goes that fast.
