MotoRace USA (also known as Zippy Race, Traverse USA and in Spain as Mototour) is an arcade game released by Irem in 1983.
[edit] Gameplay
The game's main character is a racer who must travel on his motorbike from Los Angeles to New York while avoiding several cars who'll try to crash him.
Interestingly, every level has two parts:
- The first part is an overhead game with the aforementioned gameplay
- The second part has the player watching the biker from behind his back. The player must try not to crash into the opposite cars while a background relative to the city he's travelling to is shown (i.e.: if the player is reaching Las Vegas, then a few casinos can be seen in the background)
When the player reaches NY, a sign saying "Viva NY" will be shown while the Statue of Liberty waves its hand. After this cut-scene, the game starts again with an increased difficulty and the player drives now a faster bike.
