Excitebike 68k Released

 Instead of posting news this week, I've been spending sleepless nights finishing the last major projects of high school. But now, I return to bring you news of an astounding new game for the 89, 92+, and Voyage 200, Excitebike 68k. Excitebike is a clone of the NES game by the same name. There isn't much to say, other than the graphics are superb and the gameplay looks very realistic.

Darn I was thinking my clac needed this game and of course instead of it coming on my 83 it comes to the 68k :P and I was hoping so hard for 83+

Hey, this look pretty cool! I'll have to try it out some time. Unfortunately, I still have a very large backlog of 89 programs to try out, because I have too many other hobbies keeping me busy.

I'm going to predict now that Travis Fischer is soon to become a permanent fixture on the "Most downloaded authors for the past seven days" list. Between Ice Hockey and this, as well as his other two, less-noticed programs, he has already proven himself to be an incredible programmer, and I'm sure his future works will be just as impressive. Great job!

Hey, great job on this game! 
 i have a few suggestions and whatnot...
  
1. First i got some older version of this that i found somewhere, and it was MUCH easier to get a faster time, let me tell you.  The kind of run that i used to get a 0:37 on then, however, now gets me a 1:00.  I believe this is because it was faster without CPU opponents, and now you fixed this by making Selction A slower or somethin.  I propose you make the cheats easier to get, maybe a time of 1:05 or somehting along those lines, for those of us who are only mortal.
  
2. How 'bout a random level generator? That might be fun...
  
3. Do front flips work? I dont think they do.... Plus, off of some jumps, the rider does his backflip really fast (e.g. piece T in track editor) while he does it much slower from other jumps. I hope i didnt demand too much   :-)

bear with me here, but i also dont really understand the point of "Selection B". 
I understand that it has AI bikes and all, but after you pass the bikes, more appear later, and you can never really get 1st. Getting a position doesnt seem to be the important thing here; i think you just want another way to get a best time, but with other bikes there. 
How about someday making a "Selection C" where the bikes  you race are faster and you actually race, not for a time, but for a place(who crosses the finish first)?  This way you can see the AI do a good run and improve yours based on what they do.   
I dont know if this is possible, and im not telling you to do it, im just raising up another suggestion... 
  Yeah, i guess you can notice i have lots of ideas. 
Again, no offense to this game is meant, it is already TRULY AWESOME.
