This game is the spiritual successor to Kickstart. The game is hard though as you have to keep an eye on the side-view plus top-down view. Novel idea but made it a bit too awkward to play.

Horrible, unplayable crap. Looked nice though.

Super scramble simulator

+ nice visuals
+ interesting "vertical" controls
+ ok music

- only a few audio/graphical effects (which are great by the way)
- way too hard and frustrating, requires a lot of patience: don't forget, it's not a speedway, it's trial!

How to make one helluva professional simulator on a home computer back in the 80s. Shaun could do it. Kudos to him.

Shaun Southern did know how to make entertairning games, and this is one of them. Difficulty is hard enough to keep you playing once again and again, and everything else is good too, the graphics and music do their job well. And most important thing, this game is ADDICTIVE

Great game! Well designed "3D in 1" graphics, good sounds, realistic ground/tyre effects. The only problem... Yes, this game is(almost)impossible without cheats... But nice fun! Good work! SUPER SCRAMBLE SIMULATOR:Get ready for the TOUGH freestyle!

A very good game... It's a shame I've lost my original! I would've sent Kim a scan of the cover.

This is a nice game. The graphics looks very neat and the sound is of high quality. Game-play is hard but fun indeed. Excellent. (and a excellent IKARI crack again... )

I agree with BBK: an unknown game.. ! But with a real addictive playability. Give it a try: super graphics, indoor and outdoor. Read the istructions anyway!

A must for motocross fans. From the same author of Kickstart. Try it.. It's really a cool game!
