Remarks
| This game was originally previewed (by Crash) in 1988, as a top-down racer game written by Softstorm Developments for Alternative Software Ltd. GTW64 reports: "It seems in 1989 also was a time of transition, and Dave Palmer (who was at Alternative at the time) created a new company called Hi-Tec. We believe that Dave Thompson must have followed Dave Palmer and took the Future Bike game with him, but for some reason decided to give things a face lift for the new company - and so the final version was born." |
