Play Motocross Online

Motocross is a motorcycle racing simulation game released in 1989 for the MS-DOS platform. Developed by Dynamix, Inc. and published by Gamestar, Inc., the game presents a season of competitive motocross racing. Players view the action from a perspective behind their motorcycle as they compete against other riders.

In the game, the player controls a motocross rider through a ten-race championship season. The primary objective is to perform well across these races, competing against a field of computer-controlled opponents. A significant portion of the gameplay involves preparing the motorcycle for each event. Players can adjust various mechanical aspects of their bike, including the fork angle, tire pressure, engine settings, suspension, and gear ratios. These configurations must be tailored to suit the specific demands of different tracks to achieve optimal performance during a race.

The racing itself incorporates detailed vehicle dynamics that affect handling and reliability. A motorcycle can stall or sustain damage, such as a bent wheel or fork, which impacts its performance. Players have direct control over their rider's technique, including the precise maneuvering required to navigate corners effectively. Success depends on mastering these riding skills alongside the strategic tuning of the motorcycle before each race. The game also supports online multiplayer, allowing players to compete against others.
