Super Cycle is a Motorcycle game for Atari ST, published in 1986. It's very similar to Sega's Hang-On.

Developer: Westwood / Stephen Landrum
Publisher: Epyx
Year: 1986
System: Atari ST

I always liked the title music to this one; quirky how it speeds up. The rest of the sound is kinda grating. Generally you're just listening to that one top speed tone most of the time. If you hit an obstacle, or run over when travelling slowly, you crash with a brief puff of smoke. When you complete a level, strangely you often get run-over without consequence as your cycle slows to a stop. Later stages not seen in this video include patches of ice, an animated thunderstorm, night time driving, and Mount Rushmore. I'm not sure if this game has an ending or if it just loops after a while. The controls are a bit tricky to handle, I was out of practice for this video.

0:00 - Title screen
1:02 - Stage 1 Green with mountains
2:50 - Stage 2 Desert
4:41 - Stage 3 Coastal city
6:44 - Stage 4 Bonus
8:49 - Stage 5 Bridge
10:57 - Game Over

This game did run at a solid 50hz, but YouTube will probably convert this video to a lower framerate. Sorry about the popping sound effects; SainT's sound engine seems to have an overflow problem.
