The briefing

About this game

International Moto X is an off-road motorcycle racing game centered on a championship mode. Players begin with a 125cc motorcycle, create a rider, choose a bike color, and compete across leagues on different continents.

Racing and progression

Prize money from victories can be invested in motorcycle upgrades, including dampers, tires, and engines. Players can choose three, four, or five gears, or select automatic transmission. Winning every race in a league unlocks the 500cc league.

Races support wheelies, risky jumps, sliding, and attempts to force competitors aside. Courses include shortcuts, though using them can result in penalties. The third-person view displays race information and a mini map in the upper-left corner.

Additional modes and editors

  • Time race mode
  • Training races against seven other riders
  • A scenery editor for creating courses
  • A competition editor for creating leagues from existing or new courses

The game was developed by Graftgold and published by Time Warner Interactive. It was released on October 15, 1996, for DOS and PlayStation.
