The most disappointing and unrepresentive arcade conversion available.
Activision's conversion of the coin-op was disappointing to say the least, but the
original was never in the same league as the likes of Hang On and Super Hang-On.
The basic idea is to ride around on your scramble bike completing the courses,
jumping obstacles and avoiding hazards. Buggy Boy on two wheels really. Give it a miss.
ENDURO RACER has been described as:
"THE MOST FAITHFUL AND COMPELLING
COIN OP CONVERISON SEEN" and "THE BEST
COIN OP CONVERISON AVAILABLE".
From tarmac tracks to desert trails ENDURO RACER
is a stunning motorbike race pitting you against time
as you compete with deadly opponents and the cruel and
challenging terrain...
At the start of every stage a timer is set to 60 seconds,
the limit within which the course must be completed. The other riders
and the various obstacles on the road can slow you down or even throw
you off your bike. There are five stages.
