Gameplay
The point of the game is to drive a motorcycle as fast as possible on the track without hitting other bikes or skidding off the road; the player receives 10 points per second at the slowest speed and 10 points per half-second at top speed. Passing 1000 kilometers activates extended play. The game is controlled with a motorcycle handlebar interface; players twist to throttle the engine and crashes causes force feedback on the handlebars. Sound in the game is controlled by a tape deck.
This game is the same as Man T.T. and Moto-Cross; the only difference is in the branding of the Fonz character. It is also similar to Road Race, but with motorbikes rather than cars.
