Nintendo Entertainment System - Excitebike

Another 1985 release title, hence "Black Box" in the parlance of our times, is Excitebike for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This title not only had fast paced jumping and racing action with great little engine noises, but had the amazing feature of being able to build your own tracks! Choosing from a pretty cool set of jumps and other track features, you could design some truly unplayable layouts, but it made for amazingly long and repeated play value for this game. The simple interface and quick-to-play UI kept things moving even before everyone's attention was corrupted by the internet. This game won a lot of my time back in the day, so click the image below for pics of the original set.
