Radikal Bikers is a racing arcade game developed by the Spanish company Gaelco in 1998, with also a conversion for PlayStation developed instead by Bit Managers, it is only released in Europe. The spiritual successor to this game was Smashing Drive.

Gameplay

Radikal Bikers is set in a Mediterranean environment, and is based on delivering pizza on a rare Italian scooter called Italjet Dragster in heavy traffic before your AI opponent does, while getting points. It has three difficulty levels, which correspond to each of the different places: Capricciosa (medium, set in Rome), Margherita (easy, set in Milan) and Diabola (hard, set in Naples). If you beat all four races in a level, you get to play the next level free.

Points

  • Win one race - +50000;
  • Get Power-up - +1000 each;
  • Power Kick destructions - +1000 each;
  • Grabbing an Extra Point Power-up - +3000 each.

Power-ups
