Player's Review
"Jump Into the World of Enduro Racing....
Based on the popular arcade coin op, Enduro Racer has been described as "The most faithful and compelling coin op conversion seen (Sinclair User) and "The Best coin op conversion available" (Popular Computing Weekly). From tarmac tracks to desert trails Enduro Racer is a stunning motorbike race pitting you against time as you compete with deadly opponents and the cruel and challenging terrain."
It's taken me a while to get to this one as its a terrible conversion with slow and frustrating to control gameplay. The Spectrum game is notably better and slightly more forgiving. It is also very short taking about five minutes to get through all five stages. That is if you don't crash as just one collision will likely stop you from completing the race.
The Music is a short loop from David Whittaker, you can always tell his work as it usually sounds the same as his other works with just minor variations. While is does play in the background during gameplay, it can be quite hard to appreciate with the loud sfx over the top of it. Not much more to say about it and thankfully can finally cross it off the list.
After completing the game I go back in and mess about to show some bike crashing.
