Game Overview
AMA Superbike by Motorsims is one of the old racing games that stands out for a couple of reasons. Whether these features are a positive or a negative will vary widely however based on your level of patience and your desire for detail in a game/simulation.
As the name of AMA Superbike’s creator suggests, this is a sim through and through. Some considerations have been made as a nod to arcade gamers, but by and large AMA Superbike sets out to recreate the experience of riding one of the most finely tuned, highly charged racing vehicles on the planet.
Superbike largely succeeds in this aspect, although their success is at times very frustrating to a player such as myself who really wants more to experience a high speed, not-so-realistic romp around the track. If you are like me, you will spend a lot more time looking at the walls, trees, grandstands, etc. than zooming around the track. Racing a Superbike, it turns out, is pretty tough and AMA Superbike gets that point across again and again. Personally, I got very little enjoyment out of crashing every five seconds. Had this sim/game had a more forgiving novice/arcade mode, I think it would be a title I could recommend to a much broader segment of the gaming population; as it is, I would say that unless you are truly a hard-core sim fan and/or already a proficient motorcycle racer in real life, I would steer clear of this title — it is weighted far too heavily on the realism side to be much fun for most players.
AMA Superbike is a great racing simulator but not such a fun old game…

America RTS Game Overview
Think you know how to win the West better than the historical figures who actually did it? Here’s your chance to prove yourself. America is a game that is very reminiscent of Microsoft’s Age of Empires, but set in a frontier time frame between 1820 and 1890. You control one of four groups of people struggling for domination of the West: Native Americans, Mexicans, Outlaws, and American Settlers. Want to fight the battle of Little Big Horn? What about remembering the Alamo? You can with America.
Sounds like a fun premise, right? Well, don’t get your sights set too high for America…
