Action Biker
arcade motorcycle game for Commodore 64, 1985
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steer Clumsy Colin through the streets of this 4-way, 360 degrees scrolling
city using itema scattered around to help you overcome obstacles such as
the lake, fairground and building site.
The faster you go the higher your score - so look out for itema that will
speed up your bike - like the turbo charger - and keep an eye on the clock.
You will need skill in controlling the acceleration and gear changes
to achieve a good score especially in the drag race at the end of the game.
Clumsy Colin must find his friend Marti and take him to the
spaceport - this is not as easy as it sounds!
Items to help him find Marti are hidden in the houses of which
there are 150 BUT only 50 actually hold the items he needs. He
cannot enter some of the houses because there is no-one in. The
alarm is set to go off at 8 'o' clock and wake him up, he will
also wake up if he bumps into any of the vehicles such as the
police cars and other bikers.
His fuel is limited but he can gain energy by eating skips or by
refuelling at a garage.
Some of Clumsy Colin's friends will try and tempt him to stay for
tea and slow him down.
Keep an eye on the text window which will tell you what is
happening.
Good luck and don't delay!
