The world has crumbled to ruins, you are completely alone(save for alien bikers that want you dead) and the soundtrack makes it clear the odds are stacked against you. You balance your speed and your ammo to turn tight corners, insurmountable obstacles, and the many bikers that will ambush you from behind, and figuring out how to juggle these many threats will keep your mind racing. It's much easier than the other racing games of its time would suggest, but if you are looking for a jovial biking experience like Hang-On, Mach Rider is not it. I'm amazed how the normally clean Nintendo took this as a launch title.
I guess it was aparent: Everybody liked Mario in 1985, but if you were one of the bad boys, then your game of choice was Mach Rider.

Considering how tightly Nintendo clings to most of its current IPs, it's strange to look back and see these little one-off games that never really went anywhere. This game is incredibly rough around the edges, but there was obviously the attempt at some kind of setting and atmosphere here. I don't love this, but it does make me a little nostalgic for a time when Nintendo would just throw a bunch of things at the wall to see what stuck.
