Dirt Bike is a 2D racing game and was one of the more successful (and long running!) shareware Mac games of the 90s. Versions 3.1 and 4.3 are available here. The B&W version 2.1 has its own page.
1st download: Dirt Bike 3.1 - download this for the highest compatibility with addons / tracks
2nd download: Dirt Bike 4.3 - the more recent version, but doesn't work with lots of 90s user generated stuff.
3rd download: a collection of user made bikes & tracks from the mid 90s. Works best with version 3.1 from above.
Controls: Mouse only. Move up / down in window to control speed and left / right to lean back and forward.
CompatibilityRuns best in 256 colors.
Issues: Emulation in SheepShaver (and Basilisk?) is unplayable because of mixed up timing. Physics is too slow.
Comments
Uploaded 4.3. More recent, don't know if it is the latest. Same gameplay as 3.1, so I don't think it deserves another page.
This game is so freakin' fun! Used to play it soooo much
Dirt Bike 2.1 (B&W) is now up on its own page!
I have version 2.1 backed up somewhere... It reminds me a little of LineRider flash game.
Highly accepted. If version 2 is b/w it is ready to get a separate page here at MacGarden.
we need all versions - 2, 3 and 3D. I believe 3 and 3D are already posted, we just need the B&W version 2.
the controls are odd for me. cant get the groove down.
All time classic here. The only memories had from this game was the sound effects and music, cracks me up.
