Can anyone vouch for some bike racing games either for W98 or XP that will work on my systems? See sig.

So far all I've found is EA's Superbike, thought there would be more. Tried Moto Racer 2 but that game is "rabbit's hole" to get working!

I loved Motoracer1, but it's very easy.

There's a few years' worth of castrol honda superbike which is non-ea, from the late 90s. Not necessarily better than ea's.

I second Moto Racer (1). Very entertaining, if simple, racing game.

Ok, that's (2) hands for Moto Racer 1, can anyone tell me if it "works out of the box"? Moto Racer 2 is giving me fits, must hate my gear!

I think the superbike games are more toward simulation, so they get two hands from me.

Microprose GP500 would fall into the simulation category.

I enjoyed Sega Manx TT SuperBike (very colorful).

I have a copy of THQ's MotoGP 2, but I have never played it.

Superbike 2001, GP500, Moto Racer 1 & 2 are all excellent.

+1 for GP500. It's a Microprose classic and a real benchmark of bike simulation design.

Never heard of some of these, we'll be checking them out tho.

Came across Superbike World Championship (1999). Works "out of the box" but limited to 800 x 600 for some reason. No updates seem to be available.

There's always GOG's version.
btw, another +1 for GP500!
