Mach Rider - Arcade - 1985 - First time playing

The '85 list continues!
Easy to pick up difficult to master.
Mach Rider on arcade vs system.
Endurance course.
Ok this game was super popular I read. My first time playing wasnt as easy as it looks. Must switch gears and shoot vehicles. Roadway littered with curves, and oil spills. Getting destroyed by vehicles behind me was common. Also crashing into barrels. Otherwise its pretty fun faced paced skill racing combat. These racing games from this era chintzy on the speed. Always so many obstacles and puddles in the way.
It was fun not sure I'd play it again. Lots of other racing games have more of my attention. Also the crash explosion wasn't as visual as some of the other racing games I've played. It was a little easier to get the checkpoints believe I made it to level 3 wasn't too bad for a first timer. I would try the console black box version next though.
HAL Laboratory Nintendo Nintendo VS System

The graphics looked great for that year?

Looked pretty equal to the black box version. Been playing lots of '85 games on the channel I'd say that Mach Rider was a little above par. Konami GT, Buggy Boy, Hang On were all slightly better graphics IMO. I like Mach Rider, just not particularly good at it lol. Thx for the comment.
