Top Rider

A motorcycle driving game developed by Human and published by Varie for the NES. It was released in Japan only at the end of 1988.

Top Racer is a motorcycle racing game from a behind-the-bike perspective. In both these respects, it’s a very similar game to Sega’s Hang-On series of motorcycle racers. The player can choose from two modes: Grand Prix, in which the player partakes in several consecutive races and Touring, in which the player can choose one of four courses for a single race.

The game is notable for its unusual peripheral: An inflatable motorcycle with a special handlebar controller built-in. The player can sit on the peripheral once fully inflated and use the handlebars to control the on-screen bike.
