RETRO GAMEPLAY ¡Championship Motocross Featuring Ricky Carmichael 1999! Single Race [Esp/Eng]

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

This Retro Gameplay that I have brought you this time may not be one of the most popular games of those times but personally it left a great impression on me, I remember that I was constantly competing against the computer and after weeks playing it I got to generate some exciting races at the highest possible difficulty, I literally jumped out of my chair in the moments of climax.

And it seems that it is just a motorcycle racing game but it is certainly more than that, driving in this game is not so easy, in fact when you try it for the first time everything is very rough, it costs a lot to dominate the bike at ease and actually I think I never got to do it, especially in the 500CC difficulty which is the most complicated of all.

But what I can tell you is that once you get the hang of it everything changes drastically, the desire to compete becomes stronger and stronger, you can get to feel a lot of frustration because it is the kind of racing games in which you have to do everything practically perfect because at the slightest fall or collision, the chances of regaining the first place quite low.

This game was developed by Funcom and released for Playstation in 1999, there are other versions but for me this is the best of all. The available modes are Single race, Championship, Head to head, Time attach and Practice; in this opportunity I decided to play Single race to give you a good sample of what the game is.

There are many bikes available and I really didn't want to dwell too much on this point, so just take the red one (Hamaya MR250) I always used when I played in the past.

The available tracks are very varied but most of them comply with the basic characteristics of motocross which are dirt or mud scenarios. On this occasion I selected Stirling, Scotland.

This is a pretty cool side shot in which we can see the positioning and maneuvering that the pilot performs when he is in the air, that we achieve with the R2 button on the controller. While it is true that I like the view, it tends to be very distracting while playing, so it is better not to abuse this option.

In the 250CC category I did quite well, in fact I would say too well taking into account the time I had without playing, but in the 500CC difficulty the story was different, I battled twice and the result was the same, I could not pass the third place, but I'm sure with a few more days of practice I could be first, as I did many years ago.

With this Gameplay in particular, I had the nice feeling of reliving a beautiful time of my childhood when I was very happy and lived with a lot of tranquility; I spent many hours in this game that gave me a lot of fun and moments of adrenaline.

Thank you very much for your support and for coming all this way, I send you a big hug!
