Excitebike is an excellent early side-view racing game. Playability is the big plus of this game. The controls - once used to it - are very well done and controlling the motocross bike feels intuitive and realistic (well at least as realistic as it can get in 1984). On top of it there is a clever desing mode, letting the player create his own tracks. Although the game was released early in the Famicom/NES era it is one of the best racing games for the system.
