Racing

An early arcade racer, its defining feature is the ludicrously simple but compelling wheelie mechanic. Players balance their bikes to maintain a wheelie, racking up points as the speedometer climbs. The game's appeal lies in the tight controls and the inherent risk-reward system; a bad landing results in a spectacular crash, ending the run. This arcade classic distills racing down to its most basic, satisfying elements, rewarding skillful timing and nerve.

About Wheelie

View Game DetailsDetails

In Wheelie you ride a Zedexaki bike (a combination of the famous Kawasaki brand and the ZX in ZX Spectrum), but this is no ordinary racing game. You are trapped in Nightmare Park, and must find an escape before you can race the Ghost Rider. The park is made up of four linked levels of road, which you can move up and down at by finding a ramp headed in that direction and moving the joystick in that direction. Standard direction changes on each piece of road must also be navigated. There are many creatures to avoid or jump over - mutant kangaroos and hedgehogs for starters. Standard hazards such as ramps and school buses are dealt with by pulling a wheelie - in this case, jumping at the last possible moment while at top speed.
