Personal review

Mach Rider is an early Famicom/NES motorcycle racing game set in the future. The controls and not optimal and the obstacles on the street are unfair. There is no real sense of driving in this game, the graphics and sound are unspectacular. One of Nintendo's weakest releases for their Famicom/NES system.

Official description

It's the year 2112. Earth has been invaded by the forces of evil. Battle the invaders as you race from sector to sector on your motorcycle, searching for survivors. Feel the incredible sense of speed as you zip past evil Quadrunners and zigzag between treacherous rocks, oil spills and other obstacles on the course. For a different challenge, create your own course in Design Mode, using the various twists, turns and straightaways the game has to offer. Remember, you are Earth's only hope—you are Mach Rider.
