Excitebike

Excitebike is a driving video game where players can design their own courses created and published by Nintendo for arcades, the Famicom, Nintendo Entertainment System, NEC PC-8801, X1, and the Game Boy Advance. It was released on November 30, 1984 worldwide.

Why It's Exciting!

 * 1) Good graphics for its time.
 * 2) Its controls are simple, but still require strategy to apply properly.
 * 3) The design mode of the game was the first of its kind in a console game, and greatly extends the life of the title by featuring 19 different components you can piece together to build your own course.
 * 4) Ridiculously addictive.
 * 5) Excitebike proves that a game doesn't need flashy graphics or complex AI to actually be fun.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Due to it being an early example of a game where you can create your own levels, there's nothing to stop your friends from creating impossible levels.
 * 2) In the North American and European NES versions, custom levels cannot be saved, as the console and the cartridge lack any support for a save feature. In the Japanese Famicom version, they were meant to be saved to a cassette tape, using a Japanese-only accessory.
 * 3) * This problem would be resolved with later re-releases and ports.
