Motorbike Madness (1988)

Motorbike Madness was released in 1988 for the ZX Spectrum 48K. Published by Mastertronic Ltd, the game was coded by Danny S. Whelan, Dave Stead, Peter Gartside, and Paul Ranson. Chris Gurney handled the in-game graphics, Eric Casey created the sound effects, and Ben Jackson designed the load screen.

The game is an arcade Race 'n' Chase title featuring isometric 3D graphics. It supports a single player and offers compatibility with Kempston and Interface 2 joysticks. The technical build incorporates a multi-loader for both 48K and 128K modes, while the actual gameplay takes place within a small area covering less than 50% of the screen.

The original cassette price was £1.99. The game was also released for the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, MSX, Amiga, and Atari ST platforms.

It received an average magazine score of 58%. Individual reviews included 20% from Crash, 74% from Sinclair User, and an 8/10 rating from Your Sinclair.

The game gained recognition among Russian ZX Spectrum users. It was featured in the Revival magazine with POKE codes, and various groups released numerous versions for TR-DOS. Cracked cassette copies were also widely circulated by crackers such as Bill Gilbert and Awstudio.
