Motor Psycho, also referred to as MotorPsycho, is a 1990 racing video game developed by BlueSky Software and published by Atari Corporation for the Atari 7800. Its title is a pun on "motorcycle" and "psycho".

Gameplay

In the game, the player controls a motorcyclist who races across courses within a time limit while avoiding obstacles and other motorcyclists, in a manner similar to Pole Position. Ramps are available for the player to jump over obstacles. Unlike similar games, there is no brake system to control the motorcycle's speed, though a high/low gear system is available. Players can adjust their response times before races to compensate for the lack of brakes.[1]

Reception

Raze gave the game a 81% score, praising its graphics, gameplay and high difficulty, though criticism was levied at its sound and lack of variety.[2] Atari Explorer praised the game for its tight gameplay and realistic simulation of motorcycles, noting it to be superior to Pole Position II.[3]
