Hi Folks,

My memory is failing me. I played this game about 20 years ago, circa
1986-88, in several arcades in the UK (mainly on the south coast -
Hastings, Brighton etc.). It was by Williams, but it wasn't a normal
upright cabinet. It was a sci-fi racing type game, where you sat
astride a bike-type chassis and leaned left and right to turn - the
were handlebars with throttle and brake. The track on the screen in
front of you was sort of suspended in space - it went over lava or
rocks or cityscapes or whatever, depending on the level you reached.
There were other riders - I don't think you could shoot them, but you
could bump them into the big coloured rocks on the track.

Does this ring any bells with anyone?

Thanks in advance,

CC
