My favorite motorbike game is Road Rash. Me and my buddies spend many hours playing that game. It was sim by no means but just a fun game. We were constantly trying to upgrade our bikes and knock each other off their ride. Road Rash was just a simple, straightforward and fun game.

Not really a 100% bike game - but Midnight Club: Dub edition was the most fun I had on bikes - the game did an incredible job of simulating the feeling of going crazy fast, with just the right amount of speed/control

Road Rash is a good call. That game was great for the 3DO system back in the day.

My all time favorite motorcycle game was SEGA's arcade version of Manx TT. It was such a unique and awesome experience back when it came out. The vibrating bike, the tilting first-person camera view, and last but not least... the treacherous Isle of Man course. Classic game in my book. The Saturn version was decent, but it was impossible for this version to replicate the experience of leaning into the turns while sitting on the bike.

Although I haven't played many PC games over the years, this particular version of SBK 2000 was another favorite of mine.

And lastly... as far as consoles go, my favorite to date is Moto GP '07. A lot of people have been turned off by this game as it's been perceived to not have progressed much in gameplay or features since MotoGP 3. But I personally think '07 the best version of the series.

My favourite motorbike game is the original Excitebike on the 8-bit nintendo. The reason I loved that game so much was that it was fun and accessiable and you could create your own tracks with the track editor which was pretty robust for a game back then. Sure their have been better games graphically since then but excitebike still excites to this day and is truly one of the great's in terms of motorbike games.

I forgot all about Excitebike. I remember stuffing many quarters in the machine playing that game until it came out on Nintendo.

I'm going to go with Excitebike 64. I know, I know it's technically a 3D version of the original...but they knocked it out of the park. I just remember the audio in that game was top shelf. Whenever you hit the throttle it just made the game so much better from a sound stand point.

Now let's not forget the graphics. The graphics were just awesome, especially if you had the N64 Expansion Pack.

Multiplayer was a blast as well, four players? Dirtbikes? You kiddin' me? At the time it was just blissful.

I really can't put it in words, but from the sounds, to the mud flying up, and the awesome graphics. Excitebike 64 takes the cake for me. I enjoyed Road Rash (and yes I can admit, I liked Road Rash 3D), and of course MotoGP on the original XBOX...but I can probably still fire up Excitebike 64 and spend a few hours in notalgia world.
