Description

As the name suggests, The Cycles simulates International Grand Prix Racing, allowing a player to compete against 9 computer rivals. Choose from three classes of bike (125, 250 and 500cc), and between 8 and 15 tracks depending on the version, at five difficulty levels (with the lower ones offering automatic gear changes).

The player can enter single races, or complete in a full season. The action is viewed from the handlebars of your bike, a novelty for motorcycle racing at the time. The game engine is similar to that used by Grand Prix Circuit, but now incorporates hills.

Trivia

There are drums in the Tandy music, but no drums in the Adlib music--odd, considering that the Adlib is a much more capable card, and could have easily accommodated percussion in the title music.
