Excitebike is considered one of the most classic NES games, being one of the first racing games on the system, and being remembered by its small, but nice soundtrack, its tight controls and, overall, its fun gameplay.

It's a very simple racing game, and if you select "Selection A", you don't even race against other racers.
Regardless of what mode you select, you are racing against time and trying to, at least, get 3rd Place, so you can move on to the next track.

One thing that I appreciate about this game is that there's a course editor, which is something you rarely saw in racers back then!
It's very primative, but it's still a nice addition.

There's nothing else to the game besides this though, you just race and that's pretty much it. It's fun regardless.
