Real maniacal cycles! Real full motion video! REAL disappointment! It's Cyclemania, the 1994 FMV motorcycle racer that almost nobody remembers armorgeddon: This game is or at least at the time was much better than it is portrayed here, especially if you don't care or like the fighting component of Road Rash. You have to use the brakes & you can shift manually, so it's not a pure arcade-racer. The upgrades you can buy made a huge difference. It was good fun if you crashed while leading and hoping that the chasing pack falls over you instead of speeding by. The quick race/single race option was directly copied from Microprose's grand prix games.

My god. I actually had this game as a kid and totally forgot about it. was one the first PC games i ever got on a sports accolade compilation 3 pack (baseball, hockey, cyclemania)
Cyclemania was the only one i ever played because my PC would crash trying to run the others (and it would eventually crash during cyclemania too. the joys of being 8 and struggling to play video games

If you think that it was released in 1994 the game is pretty enjoyable. I played it, and ok it's like a movie of a road track moving in front of you, but the control of the bikes is pretty decent and it could give some leisure back in the days. Obviously Road Rash is way better, but I think this game reaches the sufficiency.

I played this as a game a lot and as a i really enjoyed nature and forests, and there was a map with a race in some kind of forest or near forest, i really loved this game.
I forgot the name and never found it again. I was searching for this game since years now and i found it by pure accident finally!

This game is REAL good. well for a while, then to me, it got pretty boring and not that fun. but then I played Motocross Madness 1 and 2 when they came out and they made this game seem pretty lame, but it was probably good for a while when it came out, at least the graphics looked decent for the time.

That was hilarious! I myself play some pretty obscure DOS games as well: P a little off topic but have you ever played Eradicator? Uses the build engine and pretty much plays like Duke Nukem 3d. Kinda see why it didnt get much attention, but a nice little game!

Waitaminute. You can clearly see a dashboard with dials and meters, implying that you're driving the bike in first-person. However, your racer also appears on screen, ahead of the dashboard, being controlled from a third-person perspective. _What! _

I tell you what they was not far of with what were doing now Gran Turismo 7-8 photo mode when placing high quialty model cars onto photographs. I think this game predicted the future it seems, Will the next granturismo do what this game failed at?

This was one of my first PC games. Still have it on my -retro- shelf. I'd forgotten how bad it looked. Well, back in the day, I thought it looked pretty damned amazing, and I played it alot, but grew bored with it after several weeks.

I got this free with my Compaq presario back in the day. had a Pentium 75mhz, 8mb ram, 500mb hdd, and a super speedy quad speed cdrom. this game was amazing to me, and I spent hours playing it. couldn't believe how realistic it looked
