Description

Moto-Cross is an arcade motorbike racing game with black-and-white graphics. You steer the bike with a handlebars controller on a constantly twisting road, trying to keep the bike from veering off track or from crashing into other bikes whose size increases as you approach them. There is a throttle handle to push to accelerate and you can try to go as fast as possible to increase your score - 10 points every half-second at top speed or 10 points every second at slowest speed. If you crash into another bike or go off road, a crash occurs causing the handlebars to rumble and the graphics on screen will flash reverse image. You will also stop for 3 seconds negatively affecting your score. If your score goes over 1,000 points, you get an "extended play" period.

Trivia

Milestone

This video game was one of the first to use a licensed property when Sega (then owned by Gulf & Western) re-branded the game Moto-Cross as "Fonz" after the popular character Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli played by Henry Winkler on the television series "Happy Days". The character rides a motorcycle in the show which was the most viewed series of 1976.
