Super Scramble Simulator

Scenario

Take on the ultimate challenge of motorbike scrambling. This real life
simulator take you over 15 gruelling terrains, featuring 1:2 gradient
hills, streams, water obstacles, logs, cars and lorries. Control your
accelaerating, braking and gear changing (avoid stalling it!) as you race
against the clock.

Gameplay

The game has fifteen courses divided into five sets of three. There are two
sets of mud courses, two sets of obstacle cources and one set of grass
courses. Within a set, the courses can be played in any order, but the
whole set must be completed before progressing to the next set. Failure to
complete a course within the time limit ends the game.

Each course must be completed in the fastest possible time for a maaximum
score. Time penalties are incurred for failing to negociate an obstacle
correctly or for straying off the course, crashing and stalling the bike.
Bonus points are given at the end of each course for time remaining.

On the first two sets of courses, you get three attempts at each obstacle,
after which you are placed further down the course and suffer a large time
penalty. On the third and fourth sets you get four attempts. On the last
set you must try seven times.
