Kikstart

About

Kikstart is a motorcycle racing game where you balance speed and skill. Play alone against computer opponents or take turns with a friend in split-screen mode. Use acceleration, braking, and tricks like wheelies to tackle ramps, gates, and random obstacles. It's all about precision on two wheels, with physics that punish reckless moves but reward smooth timing. The split-screen feature lets two players compete simultaneously, a rarity in 1985 games. Tracks throw in unexpected hazards like telephone poles and tire stacks, keeping each run unpredictable. While basic by modern standards, the tight controls and split-second decisions have earned it a place in retro racing circles. A niche title that still feels responsive, even decades later.
