BMX Simulator is a racing video game released by Codemasters in 1986 for the Commodore 64 and ported to other home computers. It was followed by a sequel, Professional BMX Simulator by The Oliver Twins (later re-released on budget as BMX Simulator 2), and was part of a series of games that included ATV Simulator, Grand Prix Simulator and Professional Ski Simulator.
Gameplay
BMX Simulator is an overhead race game similar to Super Sprint. The player must race against another player, or the computer, around a series of seven different bicycle motocross (BMX) tracks. There is also a time limit to be beaten. Only two cyclists can compete in each race. The race can be viewed in slow-motion action replay afterwards.
