Excitebike is one hell of a good game and now it is revived on the Gameboy Advance.Those who loved the original and want it here unchanged can have that.
Excitebike once again has a nice and easy to get used to way of playing.You press the B and A buttons to accelerate.The B buonn pushes you along faster but you also have a bar at the bottom of your screen. Once it fills up you have to let your bike sit for a while until it cools down.Not to mention that you also race against three other drivers going over bumps and whatnot.The real task at hand isn't to beat the other three players but to beat the time.
Excitebike was the first racing game to have a track editor. Unfortunately on the NES you couldn't save that track.But on the GBA you actually can save it. My gripe is you can only save one track which bites.
There are a couple of other problems.If you have an E-Reader you can get Excitebike there.The other is simply that the GBA has had to have some of the graphics squashed down to fit the screen.This shouldn't pose any real problems though.
Excitebike is a grand game and one of the true classics in the Classie NES Series.Along with "Super Mario Bros." and of course "The Legend of Zelda" this is what you should get.

This game is the Dungeons and Dragons of NES. You can pick from Wizard, an archer, a woman swordsman, and a Conanlike character. From there on in it is a race to the finish, I guess that is what you call it. You must kill enemies that block you from the already stated goal. You have health limits but you can pick up gold and food as you go through your journey. You are timed through each level and if you do not make it you die unless in 2 player mode you turn into food for your partner too eat. All in all this isn't a bad game. Kinda frustrating since I was never able to beat it but all in all it is fun for the old and the young to play.
